to make it work on every phone you should delay the softInputMode only
once the keyboard is compeltely visible.

something like this really help that much:
Timer timer = new Timer();
        timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {

            @Override
            public void run() {
                InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)
getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);

                if (imm != null) {
 
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(input.getWindowToken(),
0);
                }
            }
        }, 100);

But I don't know if 100milliseconds is enough for every phone/tablet.
