Android soft keyboard displays weirdly after calling onResume

I have an EditText that I manually control showing keyboard by below code:

private void showKeyboard(boolean show) {
    InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    if (show) {
        mAddNewEditText.requestFocus();
        imm.showSoftInput(mAddNewEditText, 0);
    } else {
        mAddNewEditText.clearFocus();
        imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(mAddNewEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);
    }
}

Opened the keyboad

I'll call implicit intent to gets a new image and when it goes back to activity, it wont show the soft keyboard. So I tried to show the keyboard onResume function as below:

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    if (mAddNewEditText.isFocused()) {
        mAddNewEditText.post(
                () -> showKeyboard(true)
        );
    }
}

but it shows the keyboard like this which is different than normally showing the keyboard:

soft keyboard shows weirdly

I'm wondering what is the problem here. Is it because I'm using post method? without post I cannot show keyboard!

What have I tried:

Note: I'm using Android emulator.

Okay I found the answer: in my styles.xml I had this code : 

<item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>

which caused the problem, not sure why.

Maybe you can try postDelayed(), delay 500 milliseconds or more. Ensure show keyboard after UI completed.

put this line in your manifest inside activity

<aplication>
   <activity
        android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustResize"/>
 </aplication>
