Shifting layout up when keyboard pops up

Question

So I have a EditText on the bottom of the screen for user input and when I click on it, the keyboard pops up and it shifts it up but the issue is how it is being shifted. Rather than moving the EditText with the keyboard, the keyboard will show and half a second later, the EditText gets snapped into place. And when I close the keyboard, the EditText remains the extended size for half a second before going back to the original size.

The question is, is it possible for a smooth transition?

Not sure if this will affect the outcome but it is within a Fragment .
