user interface - Android - Adjust screen when keyboard pops up?

Question

I want to be able to adjust my UI screen on Android when the soft keyboard pops up.

So at the minute I have something similiar to the first picture below where I have and EditText at the bottom of the screen and when a user taps the EditText I want the same as what happens in the second picture.

That is that the EditText gets moved up and appears to "sit" on top of the soft keyboard, when the soft keyboard dissapears it should then return to its prior state.

Can anyone let me know the best way to approach and implement this?

You need to add android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" to your tag in the AndroidManifest.xml file.
