Hi hello_android,
There are only a small number of things you can do with the soft keyboard. It only has a couple of ways it can interact with the rest of the display. This document explains some things that can be done:
http://developer.android.com/resources/ ... nputs.htmlI might try grouping the three that you would like to show together in a view group container (LinearLayout, RelativeLayout, etc.) and leave the other one out by itself inside the general layout for the window. This may cause the soft keyboard to behave differently when making its appearance. Use some of the modifiers explained in the docs as well to control how it shows itself. It may be very difficult to get it to behave as you want especially on different devices and screen sizes but may not be impossible.
Hope this helps.
Phyll
