Disable back button when Soft Keyboard pops up, Android

I shifted the whole layout of my page by 250 when user inputs on the two EditText fields, and I need to shit it back when the keyboard is dismissed, I used

public class DoneOnEditorActionListener implements OnEditorActionListener {

@Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    try{
        if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE 
                || actionId == EditorInfo.IME_NULL
                || event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER) {
            InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)v.getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);

            LoginActivity.rootView.setY(0);
            return true;    
        }
    }catch (Exception e){

    }

    return false;
}

} And it works fine, but when I click the back button, the keyboard is also dismissed and the layout is not shifted back. Is there a way to disable the back button only when the soft keyboard is up?

set a variable when soft keyboard is up (how to check visibility of software keyboard in android?) and check it in your overridden onBackPressed() method. If keyboard is up, do nothing, otherwise call the super method.

private boolean isKeyboardUp;

@Override
public void onBackPressed()
    {
        if(isKeyboardUp)
          //do nothing
        else
          super.onBackPressed();
    }
