Android soft keyboard pushes toolbar & recyclerview up

Question

See following images attached. When I'm clicking on the edittext, my whole layout is pushing to the top. The result should be that the toolbar & recyclerview should be fixed to the top.

My layout is as shown below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<android.support.percent.PercentRelativeLayout 
   xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
   xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   tools:context=".PostDetailActivity">

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
    android:id="@+id/recycler_comments"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    app:layout_heightPercent="80%"
    android:layout_below="@+id/toolbar"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"

</android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView>


    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/comment_form"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:layout_below="@+id/recycler_comments"
        android:weightSum="1.0"
        android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
        android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
        android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin">


        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/field_comment_text"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="0.8"
            android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
            android:hint="Write a comment..."
            android:imeOptions="actionDone"
            android:maxLines="1" />

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/button_post_comment"
            style="@style/Base.Widget.AppCompat.Button.Borderless"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="0.2"
            android:text="Post" />

    </LinearLayout>

My manifest.xml file:

android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden|adjustPan"

I tried already tried "adjustResize" but the problem is that my linearlayout at the bottom is hiding under the keyboard.

So what should I do?

add this inside your manifest

android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"

Xml layout
