Android soft keyboard doesn't scroll and covers EditText when Window flag “LayoutNoLimits” is set

Question

I want to have my gradient background extending up under the status bar. I can do it by setting the status bar color to transparent, and calling:

Window.AddFlags(WindowManagerFlags.LayoutNoLimits);

However, setting WindowManagerFlags.LayoutNoLimits stops the soft keyboard from scrolling the screen up, and the EditText views being edited are hidden under the keyboard.

I suggest you can use another way to make gradient background extending up under the status bar.
