title: How can I position a layout right above the android on-screen keyboard?
body: <p>See the attached photo. Twitter does it well. They have a layout, which I will call a toolbar for lack of a better term, right above the onscreen keyboard. How can I do this with my code?</p>

  <p>UPDATE:
  <strong>Here is my layout:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:orientation="vertical"
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:layout_height="fill_parent"
      android:background="#ffffff"&gt;
      &lt;RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/actionbarRelativeLayout" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="@drawable/actionbar_gradient"&gt;
          &lt;ImageButton android:id="@+id/imageButton" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:background="@drawable/stocktwits" android:layout_height="wrap_content"&gt;&lt;/ImageButton&gt;
          &lt;TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/charCountTextView" android:text="140" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textColor="#ffffff" android:textStyle="bold" android:textSize="18sp" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:layout_centerVertical="true"&gt;&lt;/TextView&gt;
      &lt;/RelativeLayout&gt;
      &lt;EditText android:layout_width="match_parent" android:id="@+id/composeEditText" android:focusable="true" android:hint="Share an idea with the community" android:gravity="left|top" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1"&gt;&lt;/EditText&gt;
      &lt;LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:id="@+id/border" android:background="#c4c4c4" android:baselineAligned="false" android:layout_height="1dp"&gt;&lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
      &lt;LinearLayout android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/toolbarLinearLayout" android:orientation="horizontal" android:padding="5dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:background="@drawable/gray_toolbar_gradient"&gt;
          &lt;Button android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/shortenButton" android:background="@drawable/shortenbutton" android:layout_weight="0"&gt;&lt;/Button&gt;
          &lt;LinearLayout android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/linearLayout1" android:layout_weight="1"&gt;&lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
          &lt;CheckBox android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/twitterCheckBox" android:textColor="#000000" android:layout_weight="0" android:background="@drawable/twittergraybutton"&gt;&lt;/CheckBox&gt;
          &lt;Button android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="0" android:id="@+id/sendButton" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:background="@drawable/sharebutton"&gt;&lt;/Button&gt;
      &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
  
  &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>And here is my Manifest where I specify the softInputMode:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;activity android:name="ShareActivity"
                android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"
                android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"&gt;
      &lt;/activity&gt;
  </code></pre>
