How to add margin between EditText and Soft Keyboard?

Question

I want to add 10dp margin between EditText and Soft Keyboard.

Here is my XML:

<RelativeLayout     android:id="@+id/BottomLayout"     android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"     android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"     android:background="@drawable/bottom_glass" >      <EditText         android:id="@+id/message"         android:layout_width="200dp"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"         android:layout_centerVertical="true"         android:background="@drawable/grey"         android:ems="10"         android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"         android:hint="Enter Message"         android:textColor="#ffffff" >       </EditText>      <ImageButton         android:id="@+id/sendMessageButton"         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_centerVertical="true"         android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"         android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/message"         android:background="@android:color/transparent"         android:src="@drawable/sendselector" />      <ImageButton         android:id="@+id/imageButton2"         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_centerVertical="true"         android:layout_marginRight="20dp"         android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/message"         android:background="@android:color/transparent"         android:src="@drawable/sendmediaselector" />  </RelativeLayout> 

Here is my onCreate() :

    getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN);     messageText.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener(){                  @Override                 public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {                             ((Swipe)getActivity()).getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_UNSPECIFIED);                     return false;                 }}); 

I am using viewpager and full screen theme. The following EditText is in my 3rd fragment.

I've used android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize|adjustPan" and android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize", but nothing happened.

I find the attribute of paddingBottom can effect the distance between the editText and the keyboard. You can do like this:

<RelativeLayout      android:layout_width="match_parent"      android:layout_height="110dp">    <ImageView      android:layout_width="match_parent"      android:layout_height="100dp"      android:background="@drawable/your_edit_text_background"/>      <EditText      android:layout_width="match_parent"      android:layout_height="match_parent"      android:paddingBottom="10dp"/>  </RelativeLayout> 

This will make your keyboard margin your EditText by 10dp

This seems to work, though has some unwanted effect on the layout.

getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE); 

If anybody knows how to get this working with ADJUST_PAN, that would be great!
