import android.content.Context;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;

public class MainSearchLayout extends LinearLayout {
    int hieght = 0;
    public MainSearchLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attributeSet) {

        super(context, attributeSet);
        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        inflater.inflate(R.layout.main, this);


    }

    @Override
    protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
        Log.d("Search Layout", "Handling Keyboard Window shown");
       if(getHeight()>hieght){
           hieght = getHeight();
       }
        final int proposedheight = MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec);
        final int actualHeight = getHeight();
        System.out.println("....hieght = "+ hieght);
        System.out.println("....actualhieght = "+ actualHeight);
        System.out.println("....proposedheight = "+ proposedheight);
        if (actualHeight > proposedheight){
            // Keyboard is shown


        } else if(actualHeight
