If you don't want android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" in your app. You can try something like this:

    any_view.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
        @Override
        public void onGlobalLayout() {
            int height = main_layout.getHeight();
            Log.w("Foo", String.format("layout height: %d", height));
            Rect r = new Rect();
            main_layout.getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(r);
            int visible = r.bottom - r.top;
            Log.w("Foo", String.format("visible height: %d", visible));
            Log.w("Foo", String.format("keyboard height: %d", height - visible));
        }
    });
