How to prevent resizing and relayout the window when soft keyboard displaying

Question

I show an edit dialog in an activity, when the soft keyboard displaying, the window of the activity will be resized to too samll which looks awful. I don't want the window of the activity be resized and layout. I just want the keyboard can cover on the activity window and the dialog move to the top so that soft keyboard have room to show.

I have tried to use android:windowSoftInputMode="xxxxx" in the manifest, but there are no one mode which fit my situation. I also found the similar question, but it did't solve my problem.

EDIT: I have tried setImeOptions and also getWindown().setFlags but it still did't worked, Any advice will be very appreciated.

EDIT2: I have tried in 3.0, and use android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustNothing", It worked perfectly, but how can i implement this on 2.3?

Answer 1

add this property in AndroidManifest.xml for your Activity :

android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateUnchanged|adjustPan"
