How to hide certain view while android keyboard is shown?

Question

I am trying to write a code to hide certain ui elements while Android Keyboard is shown , i tried to add "adjustResize" in the manifest but it re-sizing the elements automatically but not hiding some of the views in the layout.

MyCode:

package com.example.code;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

}
@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
    super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);


    // Checks whether a hardware keyboard is available
    if (newConfig.hardKeyboardHidden == Configuration.HARDKEYBOARDHIDDEN_NO) {
        Toast.makeText(this, "keyboard visible", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    } else if (newConfig.hardKeyboardHidden == Configuration.HARDKEYBOARDHIDDEN_YES) {
        Toast.makeText(this, "keyboard hidden", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    } else {
        Toast.makeText(this, "No above", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}  }

XML :

<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="com.example.MainActivity">
<ScrollView
    android:id="@+id/scroll"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="300dp">
    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/image_back"/>
</ScrollView>

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/xyz"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="65dp"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:background="@android:color/holo_orange_dark"
    android:gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:text="Test Layout"
    android:textSize="40sp" />

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/abc"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_above="@+id/xyz"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:background="@android:color/holo_blue_bright"
    android:ems="10"
    android:gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:text="Please enter text"
    android:textSize="40sp" >

    <requestFocus />
</EditText>

Manifest:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

package="com.example.code"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
    <activity
        android:name="com.example.code.MainActivity"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
        android:label="@string/app_name" 
        android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|keyboardHidden">

You can try something like this and update the visibility of your layout according to the visibility of the keyboard.

@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
    super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);


    // Checks whether a hardware keyboard is available
    if (newConfig.hardKeyboardHidden == Configuration.HARDKEYBOARDHIDDEN_NO) {
        Toast.makeText(this, "keyboard visible", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    } else if (newConfig.hardKeyboardHidden == Configuration.HARDKEYBOARDHIDDEN_YES) {
        Toast.makeText(this, "keyboard hidden", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}
