How to add margin between EditText and Soft Keyboard?

Question

I want to add 10dp margin between EditText and Soft Keyboard.

Here is my XML:

<RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+id/BottomLayout"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:background="@drawable/bottom_glass" >

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/message"
        android:layout_width="200dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:background="@drawable/grey"
        android:ems="10"
        android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
        android:hint="Enter Message"
        android:textColor="#ffffff" >


    </EditText>

    <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/sendMessageButton"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/message"
        android:background="@android:color/transparent"
        android:src="@drawable/sendselector" />

    <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/imageButton2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
        android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/message"
        android:background="@android:color/transparent"
        android:src="@drawable/sendmediaselector" />

</RelativeLayout>

Here is my onCreate() :

    getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN);
    messageText.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener(){

                @Override
                public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                            ((Swipe)getActivity()).getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_UNSPECIFIED);
                    return false;
                }});

I am using viewpager and full screen theme. The following EditText is in my 3rd fragment.

I've used android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize|adjustPan" and android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize", but nothing happened.

I find the attribute of paddingBottom can effect the distance between the editText and the keyboard. You can do like this:

<RelativeLayout   
  android:layout_width="match_parent"   
  android:layout_height="110dp"> 
  <ImageView
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="100dp"
     android:background="@drawable/your_edit_text_background"/>   
  <EditText
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="match_parent"
     android:paddingBottom="10dp"/> 
</RelativeLayout>

This will make your keyboard margin your EditText by 10dp
