title: keyboard covers half of the edit text Android
body: <p>I am developing an app and I found a problem that the keyboard hides the EditText Field. Upon researching i found a solution by adding this line of code in manifest file. </p>
  
  <pre><code>android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but now my edittext looks like <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ffEKX.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ffEKX.png" alt="this"></a></p>
  
  <p>the emoticon icon, edit text and the SEND textview are in a Linear layout. How do i show the entire linear layout above the keyboard  ?? </p>
