Control where the Android soft keyboard appears on the screen?

Is there a way to control where the soft keyboard appears on the screen? Assuming it takes the whole width, I would like to be able to specify a height so that the keyboard shows on the top half of the screen. Is this possible?
Currently I'm just showing the keyboard using SoftInputMode in the manifest file.
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible"

Please try using android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden" attribute and also apply this attribute in the previous activity of current activity in which the keyboard is opened.

windowSoftInputMode hides Textfield

So I had this problem where when the Soft Keyboard comes up it shrinks my background image to adjust the screen size. Many had suggested to change
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" to android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
This worked for the background. But the problem is it's breaking functionality elsewhere.
I have a textbox thats fixed to the bottom of the screen. With adjustResize when the user taps on this textbox it fixes itself to the keyboard. But after changing to adjustPan the textbox is getting covered by the keyboard. How do I fix both my problems?
Not have the background shrink when the keyboard appears.
Fix a textbox positioned to the bottom to the keyboard when it
appears.
EDIT: I'am using the latest version of Ionic 2.

Is possible Move Up Layout?

I would like to do it. This is iOS app
The entire screen went up and the keyboard was below the buttons
before displaying the keyboard:
after displaying the keyboard
The option "adjustPan" in adroid manifes not work like it, the buttons below of Edittext hide under keyboard

adjustResize should work for when you want to move the screen up.

Adjust screen for softkeyboard

I am working on an Android app.The following is my screenshot of my screen without softkeyboard and with softkeyboard.
When the soft keyboard is shown the whole screen compresses.Instead of that I want to compress only the listview [middle portion]. The top and bottom layouts must be the same size.

open your android manifest.xml file and then edit in Activity Tag as below,
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"

Now my problem solved.I create separate layout for top and bottom portions and include in the main layout.So whenever the softkeyboard popup the middle view only resize and top and bottom views size will be unchanged. And in manifest I use
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
Thanks friends for all of your suggestions.

How to prevent resizing and relayout the window when soft keyboard displaying

I show an edit dialog in an activity, when the soft keyboard displaying, the window of the activity will be resized to too samll which looks awful. I don't want the window of the activity be resized and layout. I just want the keyboard can cover on the activity window and the dialog move to the top so that soft keyboard have room to show.
I have tried to use android:windowSoftInputMode="xxxxx" in the manifest, but there are no one mode which fit my situation. I also found the similar question, but it did't solve my problem.
EDIT: I have tried setImeOptions and also getWindown().setFlags but it still did't worked, Any advice will be very appreciated.
EDIT2: I have tried in 3.0, and use android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustNothing", It worked perfectly, but how can i implement this on 2.3?

add this property in AndroidManifest.xml for your Activity :
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateUnchanged|adjustPan"

I find a method to avoid the problem, but just avoid, still want to know the solution in android 2.3.
Before, I layout the controls in the XML from top and bottom, just like this:
<ToolBar android:id="#+id/blabla"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
So when the keyboard is showing, the window of the activity is resized, so the ToolBar is pushed, which looks not good.
Now, I layout the controls from top, through the window is still resized, but the ToolBar and the other controls will not be pushed, they are just layout out of the window, when the soft keyboard is showing.
