adjustPan not preventing keyboard from covering EditText

I'm trying to create a pretty basic chat screen with a ListView displaying the text and an EditText at the bottom and a "Send" button to the right of the EditText. Everything is functional, but when I click the EditText, the virtual keyboard covers it. The screen pans up a little but not enough to become visible above the keyboard. I've got the "adjustPan" tag in my manifest and have also tried the "adjustResize" tag to no avail. I'm guessing it has something to do with the way my layout is set up, but I honestly have no clue. Please help!

Current Layout...

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">  <ListView android:id="@+id/android:list"      android:layout_height="0dip"      android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_weight="1"     android:stackFromBottom="true"> </ListView>  <LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal"     android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content">      <EditText android:id="@+id/sendMessageBox"         android:focusable="true"         android:layout_width="fill_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_weight="1"         android:scrollbars="vertical"         android:maxLines="4"         android:text=""         android:inputType="textShortMessage|textAutoCorrect|textCapSentences|textMultiLine"         android:maxLength="1000"         android:hint="Type your message..."         android:imeOptions="actionSend"/>      <Button android:id="@+id/sendMessageButton"          android:layout_width="wrap_content"          android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_gravity="bottom"         android:text="Send"/>  </LinearLayout>

After doing a lot of searching apparently it's what I'm calling a bug. If you use the fullscreen tag (to remove the status bar from the activity) you can't use "adjustResize" without wrapping the activity in a ScrollView. Unfortunately for me I'm using a ListView which would create yet another problem. I'm sick of messing with it and will probably just abandon the fullscreen on that activity.
