You can specify the behavior of the keyboard in the Manifest.xml file.

I suggest you to read the documentation about configChanges and windowSoftInputMode.

You may want to use the adjustPan option for your compressing issue.

adjustPan : The activity's main window is not resized to make room for the soft keyboard. [...]
