android - Move layout up when soft keyboard is shown

Question

I'm trying to adjust the layout when the soft keyboard appears after an edit text gets focus. Right now if I have many edit text and the keyboard appears, the last edit text are hidden and I can't scroll up.

This is how my layout is builded up:

Template:

<LinearLayout>
    <LinearLayout>
        // header 1
    </LinearLayout>
    <LinearLayout>
        // header 1
    </LinearLayout>
    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dip"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:orientation="vertical">
        // where I inflate view_1
    </LinearLayout>
    <LinearLayout>
        // footer
    </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

View (view_1):

<ScrollView
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:focusable="true"
        android:focusableInTouchMode="true">
        <LinearLayout>
            // ...
        </LinearLayout>
        <LinearLayout>
            // ...
        </LinearLayout>
        <LinearLayout>
            <TextView/>
            <EditText/>
            <TextView/>
            <EditText/>
            <TextView/>
            <EditText/>
            <TextView/>
            <EditText/>
        </LinearLayout>
    </LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

I already try all kinds of combinations of android:windowSoftInputMode (on manifest.xml and programmatically). I tried to set android:isScrollContainer="false" on the scroll view, but nothing.

I also tried this answer, putting an GlobalLayoutListener in my scroll view, but the onGlobalLayout is not called when the keyboard appears. And the isKeyboardShown is always false.

The best solution I found is to add adjustpan property in the activity<> tag in the manifest.xml file .

<activity
   android:name="MyActivity"
   android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"/>
