Disable "hide keyboard"-button

As you perhaps know, the "back" - button on the Google Nexus 7 changes to a button, which hides the soft keyboard, if the keyboard is visible (see picture below).

enter image description here

But I want to disable this button, so the keyboard can't be hidden. Can someone tell me how to achieve this?

I'm not really sure why you would want to do that but you can try overriding the back press in your activity.

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    //your custom code here
}

You would need to check if the keyboard is visible. You can refer to the following links for that: https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=%5Bandroid%5D+check+if+keyboard+is+visible
