Relevant code:

        if (heightDifference > (usableHeightSansKeyboard / 4)) {

            // keyboard probably just became visible
            frameLayoutParams.height = usableHeightSansKeyboard - heightDifference;
            activity.getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
            activity.getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FORCE_NOT_FULLSCREEN);
        } else {

            // keyboard probably just became hidden
            if(usableHeightPrevious != 0) {
                frameLayoutParams.height = usableHeightSansKeyboard;
                activity.getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FORCE_NOT_FULLSCREEN);
                activity.getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);

            }

old idea

Create a static value of the containers height before opening the keyboard Set the container height based on usableHeightSansKeyboard - heightDifference when the keyboard opens and set it back to the saved value when it closes

if (heightDifference > (usableHeightSansKeyboard / 4)) {
                // keyboard probably just became visible
                frameLayoutParams.height = usableHeightSansKeyboard - heightDifference;
                int mStatusHeight = getStatusBarHeight();
                frameLayoutParams.topMargin = mStatusHeight;
                ((MainActivity)activity).setMyMainHeight(usableHeightSansKeyboard - heightDifference);

                if(BuildConfig.DEBUG){
                    Log.v("aBug5497", "keyboard probably just became visible");
                }
            } else {
                // keyboard probably just became hidden
                if(usableHeightPrevious != 0) {
                    frameLayoutParams.height = usableHeightSansKeyboard;
                    ((MainActivity)activity).setMyMainHeight();    
                }
                frameLayoutParams.topMargin = 0;

                if(BuildConfig.DEBUG){
                    Log.v("aBug5497", "keyboard probably just became hidden");
                }
            }

Methods in MainActivity

public void setMyMainHeight(final int myMainHeight) {

    runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams rLparams =  (ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams) myContainer.getLayoutParams();
            rLparams.height = myMainHeight;

            myContainer.setLayoutParams(rLparams);
        }

    });

}

int mainHeight = 0;
public void setMyMainHeight() {

    runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams rLparams =  (ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams) myContainer.getLayoutParams();
            rLparams.height = mainHeight;

            myContainer.setLayoutParams(rLparams);
        }

    });

}

Example Container XML

similarly margins can be added if needed...

Another consideration is use padding an example of this can be found at:
