Question

I am making an activity as show in the following picture.

However when the user clicks the edittext at the bottom, the following happens.

How can I make it so that the top bar still shows even when the keyboard appears?

Answer 1

Make it an actionbar and use in your manifest.xml:

android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|keyboard"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"

make sure u don't use:

getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, 
        WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);

Should work
