Android webview keyboard covering up input

The desired effect for my android application is to have a webview with an input box and content. When the user clicks on the keyboard, the keyboard pushes the input box up, but does not resize the main content and just overlays ontop of it as seen in the diagram below.
The problem I'm experiencing is that the keyboard covers the input box and does not push it up.
This is currently a cordova android application. In the manifest, I have configued
<activity android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|keyboard|screenSize|locale" android:label="#string/activity_name" android:launchMode="singleInstance" android:name="GigJam" android:theme="#android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.NoActionBar" android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan">
Also in the config.xml:
<preference name="Fullscreen" value="false" />
I used android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" to prevent the screen from resizing which is what i want since I don't want the content to be squished. I've also tried configuring the css for the input box to be fixed and absolute (basically tied to the bottom of the webview.
From my understanding, when the keyboard pops up from an edit in the input box, that it would push up the box as well because the input box is constrained to the webview which will be pushed up as well.
Any advice appreciated,
Thanks,

Android has a keyboard event that I listen to. When the show/hide is trigger, I grab the active input component and transform the box in the y axis by the size of the keyboard height which can be grab from the event in the listener. I transform back when the show is triggered.
Note: resize needs to be disabled for the android:windowSoftInputMode and set to "adjustPan"

Use this line:
getActivity()
.getWindow()
.setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE);

Add android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" to the activity with the webview in the AndroidManifest.xml
For example:
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" />

hiding half dialog at the top when soft keyboard is on

I have a dialog with an edit text inside. Once I open the keyboard I have two options :
1. resize the layout - and then the edittext is simply gone(visually).
2. pan - the edit text is shown partially and I do see every line I write in it.
BUT - the keyboard hides the Button at the bottom of the dialog (beneath the edittext)
I know it's possible in iOS. But is it possible in Android to simply lift the dialog to the top so that only half of it is seen ?
here's a picture to depict what I'm aiming at :

In your Manifest file add the following code for this particular activity
<activity android:name="yourActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" >
</activity>
Check this doc for more info.
EDIT
try these.. may it works for you.
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|adjustResize"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustResize"

Use adjustResize with adjustPan
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|adjustResize"
if it looks ugly then use ScrollView in dailog by using customview.

How to prevent soft keyboard cover my views

In the layout file of one of my activities I've got 2 inputs at the top and at the bottom and a next button.
The problem is, when keyboard shows, it covers the button. How can I bring the views above keyboard?

Check this blog post On-screen Input Methods
You can use android:windowSoftInputMode attribute to specify what should happen whether the layout is resized or whether it scrolls.
In your manifest file
<activity name=".YourActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustResize">
...
</activity>

Just put in manifest..
Use "adjustResize"
It makes main window always resized to make room for the soft keyboard on screen.
<application

<activity
.............................
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden|adjustResize" />
</application>

Android Keyboard do not open on focus in Edittext

There are lot of questions regarding android keyboard not opening ,when there is a focus on edittext.
And there are many ways also to open keyboard forcefully.However usually keyboard opens automatically on request focus. But in some cases it do not opens even there is a focus in edittext.
What usually happens behind that keyboard do not appears automatically as it usually does ?

For automatic keyboard, use the following
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE);
also this can help in manifest file :
<activity
android:name="com.example.activities.MyActivity"
android:configChanges="keyboard"
>
</activity>

Soft keyboard covers all the window even with adjustPan

I have a problem with my SearchActivity. It has a SearchView made with ActionBarSherlock .
when I click on the eyeglass in landscape orientation I have the softkeyboard to cover all the screen. But with adjustPan parameter I would expect to see the SearchView.
<activity
android:name=".SearchActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_search"
android:theme="#style/ActionBarCompat"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
>
</activity>
Do you know how could I see the SearchView while typing ? Or maybe I simple don't understand what adjustPan should do.
Thanks
