I have a set of navigation buttons sitting at the bottom of each Activity. In some activities, I need a search textview at the top of it. However, whenever the user types something in the textview, the soft keyboard always pushes up my navigation buttons, even though it doesn't actually block the textview. It makes my UI looks funny. How can I force my navigation buttons to stay static where they are without ever being pushed by the soft keyboard? I have tried to set the Activity's windowSoftInputMode, but none of the configurations help.
Any suggestions? Thanks
