View moving up in xamarin forms android when keyboard appears

Question

The status bar and the screen moves up completely when the keyboard popsUp in xamarin forms android and the EditText field is in the bottom of the screen. I tried using

WindowSoftInputMode = SoftInput.AdjustPan

and

WindowSoftInputMode = SoftInput.AdjustResize

But unfortunately both are not working,i also clubbed both From a blog post i read putting

Xamarin.Forms.Application.Current.On<Xamarin.Forms.PlatformConfiguration.Android>().UseWindowSoftInputModeAdjust(WindowSoftInputModeAdjust.Resize);

and

if (Build.VERSION.SdkInt >= BuildVersionCodes.Lollipop)
{
    Window.DecorView.SystemUiVisibility = 0;
    var statusBarHeightInfo = typeof(FormsAppCompatActivity).GetField("_statusBarHeight", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic);
    statusBarHeightInfo.SetValue(this, 0);
    Window.SetStatusBarColor(new Android.Graphics.Color(0,0,0, 255)); // Change color as required.
 }

after launch application is an alternative, but unfortunately this also failed. Any other option available?

Its a bug in Xamarin. I used following code in mainActivity

    if (Build.VERSION.SdkInt >= BuildVersionCodes.Lollipop)
    {
                    Window.DecorView.SystemUiVisibility = 0;
                    var statusBarHeightInfo = typeof(FormsAppCompatActivity).GetField("_statusBarHeight", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic);
                    statusBarHeightInfo.SetValue(this, 50);
    }

And used

Xamarin.Forms.Application.Current.On<Xamarin.Forms.PlatformConfiguration.Android>().UseWindowSoftInputModeAdjust(WindowSoftInputModeAdjust.Resize);

The problem was it wont work if you forcefully hide the title bar

Forms.SetTitleBarVisibility(AndroidTitleBarVisibility.Never);

I commented out this code and the issue was solved. But due to resize property i faced lot of issue since i have designed screens with Grid and star value which caused many unwanted issues. So i am not going to use this method sadly. :(
