background layout moving when soft keyboard displayed - android

Question

I've got an input popup that I'm displaying over my activities main view that has some edit boxes in it. When the popup is displayed the activities view stays dimmed in the background (like with an alert dialog).

The issue I'm having is that when the keyboard comes up the popup is ok, but activities view in the background is shifting up. That view should be paused and I wouldn't have thought it would be affected by the keyboard at all. Is there any way to stop this from happening?

I've tried adding android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" to the activity and to the pop-up with no luck.

Here's my activity layout:

<LinearLayout
 xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 android:layout_height="fill_parent"
 android:orientation="vertical" android:background="@drawable/main_bg">

<include android:id="@+id/header" layout="@layout/common_header" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

 <RelativeLayout
  android:id="@+id/contentLayout"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:layout_margin="5dp"
 >

<include android:id="@+id/btnBar" layout="@layout/common_button_bar" 
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"/>  

  <LinearLayout
   android:id="@+id/webLayout"
   android:layout_above="@+id/btnBar"
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:background="@drawable/blk"
  android:layout_margin="10dp">

   <WebView
android:id="@+id/WebView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_margin="1dp"
android:background="@drawable/white"
   >


   </WebView>

  </LinearLayout>
 </RelativeLayout>
    </LinearLayout>

and here is my pop-up layout:

<LinearLayout

Try using

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|adjustResize"

for the activity.
