In my Android application running in a XOOM device, when I click in an Edittext the keyboard opens and hides the Actionbar. I don’t want this to happen, how can I solve this? This is done by the Google Contacts app for the tablet for example.

EDIT:
I have several edittexts in which the user needs fo fill. At first, when the user clicked on one edittext on the bottom, the keyboard showed up and hide the edittext in which the user was typing, so he couldn’t see what he was typing. I found it really bad, and to solve it I just added to the manifest: android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustPan"
But after that, now the screen adjust itselfs and hides the action bar.

The Google Contacts app does the same, but it magically doesn’t hide the Action bar. How do they do it?

    Use adjustResize instead of adjustPan. The framework will always try to keep the focused element on-screen by scrolling any parent views if necessary.

    If your EditText field is not nested in some sort of scrolling container such as a ScrollView then your layout may be too tall to completely display when the keyboard resizes your activity. Try wrapping your form’s layout in a ScrollView. This will also allow your app’s content to scroll if it is running on a smaller screen device where it may have similar issues.
