Android - keyboard is shown below the activity instead of over the activity

Question

I have a layout with an AutoCompleteTextView and when click on it to write something the keybord is shown as excepted but instead of cover the rest of the activity, it raises it up and some views with it that should have been covered (see image below - the back and next buttons should be in the bottom of the activity and the keyboard should cover them).

How can I avoid this kind of behavior.

(this layout is inside ViewPager and in other pages this behavior does not occur only after it's occurs once in this page)

Thanks!

Add this into your AndroidManifest.xml:

<activity 
    android:name="..." 
    android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"> 
    ...
