Prevent the keyboard from overflowing my LinearLayout after it shows up?

Question

So I'm trying to build a chat app, it works nicely but I got this problem when I'm trying to open the keyboard. this is how it looks like that without keyboard:

]1

and this is how it looks like when I click the and the keyboard opens

I do want this functionality to stay the same but I would like it to not overflow my LinearLayout

I did this functionality by using this line of code:

getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN);

here is the xml code for the linearlayout that holds the edittext and the button:

<LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/linearLayout"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@color/blue_bar_background"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent">

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/et_message"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center|start"
            android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
            android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:background="@null"
            android:ems="10"
            android:focusedByDefault="true"
            android:hint="Type a message "
            android:maxLines="4"
            android:minHeight="48dp"
            android:paddingStart="8dp"
            android:paddingTop="8dp"
            android:paddingBottom="8dp"
            android:scrollHorizontally="true"
            android:singleLine="false"
            android:textColor="@color/white"
            android:textColorHint="#A8FFFFFF"
            android:textSize="20sp"
            app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent" />

        <com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton
            android:id="@+id/fab_addMessage"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"
            android:layout_weight="0"
            android:backgroundTint="@color/blue_bar_background"
            android:clickable="true"
            android:contentDescription="@string/app_name"
            android:elevation="0dp"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_round_send_24"
            app:borderWidth="0dp"
            app:elevation="0dp"
            app:tint="@color/white" />
    </LinearLayout>

If you need some more code, let me know in the comments. Thank you very much for your time.

Use RESIZE insade of PAN this will keep your EditText above the SoftKeyboard. here is example -

getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE | WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE);

or you can do this with manifest file like this -

<activity
    android:name=".YourActivity"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden|adjustResize">

it's worked for me in the past, hope it helps.
