how to overlap the keyboard on bottom view and show only specific views on top of keyboard when keyboard is opened in android

I have a requirement to show an editText on top of keyboard when the keyboard opens. But at the same time I have to hide the bottom tab navigation view on my fragment screen. It should be behind the keyboard.
I have tried multiple combinations for android:windowSoftInputMode but in some cases, either the EditTexts is not displayed or the entire screen is showing on top of keyboard.
Is there a way to keep the screen view as it is and open the keyboard with EditText on top of it.

Android Keyboard fix orientation

I have a Android Keyboard like a SoftKeyboard and I want to fix the screen in portrait orientation when the keyboard is activated, so, use the keyboard with the editTExt of the app just in portrait (I have just the keyboard, no the app).

Using the keyboard from the lock screen in Android

What I need to be able to do is Edit a text view from the lock screen.
So far I have a widget on the lock screen with a text view that is editable and looks like an edit text view. It is also focusable.
However, when I click on it to edit it no keyboard comes up. Is the keyboard locked from use in the lock screen? Is there any way to pull up a keyboard from the lock screen to edit the text view?
Thanks

How can I specify ime options for soft keyboard when not using editview?

In my application, I am showing/hiding the keyboard to allow the user to manipulate a custom widget. There is no EditText that has focus.
The problem I am having is that I want the layout to adjust in size when the keyboard shows. This is normally done by adding android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" to the activity tag in the manifest. This does work when the device (currently the 7in Galaxy Tab running 2.2) is in portrait mode but when rotated to landscape, the layout does not adjust size and the keyboard hides half the screen.
Now, I noticed that if instead I use an EditView that has android:imeOptions="flagNoExtractUi", the layout resizes appropriately. Is there any way to achieve the same effect on a keyboard displayed through a window token?
Adding a hidden EditView to the screen is not ideal since it will change the implementation rather drastically.
For reference, here is the code I use to show the keyboard within the custom widget.
mInputMethod = (InputMethodManager)getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
mInputMethod.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY);
requestFocus();
setOnKeyListener(this);
and to hide.
mInputMethod.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getWindowToken(), 0);
setOnKeyListener(null);

Unproportional keyboard on landscape layout Android

I am having EditText in my LinearLayout. When i am typing text in portrait mode keyboard displays fine but when i changed to landscape mode , only i can editext box and a button on right side of it, that looking really bad.
Just i want to look the keyboard same in both modes.
How i achieve that??
Problem is: Keyboard is filling the entire screen am not able to see other views in the screen in landscape when i want to type text..
Thanks

In layout at landscape, you can set android:imeOptions="actionDone|flagNoExtractUi" for edittext
