TabWidget flickers when keyboard hides android

Question

How to hide the tab bar below. I have used android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|adjustResize". I do not get the desired result. I also added an event bus, and when the focus on the edited text disappears from the tab bar:

public void showTabBar()
{
    mTabHost.getTabWidget().setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
} 

public void hideTabBar()
{
    mTabHost.getTabWidget().setVisibility(View.GONE);
}

But flickering does not fit either. What else can I do? _{(source: cs629227.vk.me )}
