TabWidget not stable at the bottom in Android? Why?

Question

Hi folks,

I set my tabWidget at the bottom. When i want to edit the edittext the keyboard will raise up. But the tab widget come above the keyboard. To support for the multiple screen i set the android:layout_weight="1.0". After that, I got this problem i added my layout code below. any idea to make the TabWidget at the bottom stably?

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TabHost xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@android:id/tabhost" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@android:id/tabcontent" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1.0">

    </FrameLayout>
    <TabWidget android:id="@android:id/tabs"
        android:layout_gravity="bottom" android:background="@drawable/gradient_black"
        android:listSelector="@color/transparent" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="63dip" />
</LinearLayout>

You may want to adjust the windowSoftInputMode in your manifest. This controls how the screen shifts when the soft keyboard is shown. Perhaps you want to AdjustPan instead of the default adjustResize? This page has more info on the various input modes.
