How can I position a layout right above the android on-screen keyboard?

Question

See the attached photo. Twitter does it well. They have a layout, which I will call a toolbar for lack of a better term, right above the onscreen keyboard. How can I do this with my code?

UPDATE: Here is my layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:orientation="vertical"     android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_height="fill_parent"     android:background="#ffffff">     <RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/actionbarRelativeLayout" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="@drawable/actionbar_gradient">         <ImageButton android:id="@+id/imageButton" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:background="@drawable/stocktwits" android:layout_height="wrap_content"></ImageButton>         <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/charCountTextView" android:text="140" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textColor="#ffffff" android:textStyle="bold" android:textSize="18sp" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:layout_centerVertical="true"></TextView>     </RelativeLayout>     <EditText android:layout_width="match_parent" android:id="@+id/composeEditText" android:focusable="true" android:hint="Share an idea with the community" android:gravity="left|top" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1"></EditText>     <LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:id="@+id/border" android:background="#c4c4c4" android:baselineAligned="false" android:layout_height="1dp"></LinearLayout>     <LinearLayout android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/toolbarLinearLayout" android:orientation="horizontal" android:padding="5dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:background="@drawable/gray_toolbar_gradient">         <Button android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/shortenButton" android:background="@drawable/shortenbutton" android:layout_weight="0"></Button>         <LinearLayout android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/linearLayout1" android:layout_weight="1"></LinearLayout>         <CheckBox android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/twitterCheckBox" android:textColor="#000000" android:layout_weight="0" android:background="@drawable/twittergraybutton"></CheckBox>         <Button android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="0" android:id="@+id/sendButton" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:background="@drawable/sharebutton"></Button>     </LinearLayout>  </LinearLayout> 

And here is my Manifest where I specify the softInputMode:

<activity android:name="ShareActivity"               android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"               android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">     </activity> 

Answer 1

Make sure your soft input mode is set to adjustResize, then place the layout with your toolbar at the bottom of your activity.

Example:

<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="match_parent">     <FrameLayout android:id="@+id/my_content"             android:layout_width="match_parent"             android:layout_height="0dip"             android:layout_weight="1">         <!-- Your content here -->     </FrameLayout>     <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/my_toolbar"             android:layout_width="match_parent"             android:layout_height="wrap_content">         <!-- Your toolbar items here -->     </LinearLayout> </LinearLayout>
