I'm trying to do this for quite a long while, and when I failed I posted the question. I have nothing to specify since I do not know how to do this. I kept searching for a way and failed. The only lead I got was here, onComputeInsets<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/inputmethodservice/InputMethodService.html#onComputeInsets(android.inputmethodservice.InputMethodService.Insets)> , but I was not able to understand how to use it.
