Slide views up when soft keyboard is shown

Question

I want to slide my form views up when the soft keyboard is appeared. I found out that is not as easy as I thought, I've tried to change the activity's windowSoftInputMode to adjustPan and it do nothing, then I tried to change it to adjustResize and it just resized my button's height.

Example of my desired result:

Soft keyboard is hidden

And when the user clicks on one of the Edit Text views I want those views to slide up:

Soft keyboard is visible

Edit: Here is my layout file:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"

    android:gravity="center"
    android:singleLine="true"
    android:textDirection="ltr"
    android:textColor="#58c9f3"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true"/>

    android:background="@drawable/button_style"
    android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
    android:textSize="20sp"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true"/>

</RelativeLayout>

I have 2 ImageViews that put together the background.

can you show your layout file. adjustResize should be what you are looking for — peshkira, Apr 04 '14 at 16:46
It's just resize my button. Maybe it's because the 2 Imageviews behind the views? — Ori Seri, Apr 05 '14 at 07:56

you need to requestFocus();

if you cant request focus u can use

(!EditText.hasFocus()){
//do nothing}
else{EditText.requestFocus();}

in some sort of update method
