Keyboard is not scrolling EditText above

Question

I am using this code. However when ever i click on EditText to open the keyboard, the view is not totally up. Why the view is not going up all the way, EditText is hidden behind Keyboard

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:background="@drawable/main_bg" 
    android:id="@+id/mainLayout"
    android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
    >

       <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="40dp"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:id="@+id/topBar"
        android:background="@drawable/top_bar_bg"
     >

        <LinearLayout 
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:orientation="horizontal"
                android:gravity="center_horizontal|bottom"
                android:layout_centerInParent="true"
            >

                 <ImageView 
                     android:id="@+id/loadingAnimationImg"
                     android:layout_height="35dp"
                     android:layout_width="35dp"
                     android:adjustViewBounds="true"
                     android:contentDescription="@null"
                     android:background="@drawable/img05"/>

                 <ImageView 
                     android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"
                     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                     android:layout_width="120dp"
                     android:adjustViewBounds="true"
                     android:contentDescription="@null"
                     android:src="@drawable/simple_logo"/>

         </LinearLayout>
    </RelativeLayout>

    <GridView
            android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="300dp"
            android:id="@+id/gridView"
            android:numColumns="5"
            android:verticalSpacing="5dp" />

    <TextView 
        android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"

        android:textSize="12sp"
        android:textColor="@android:color/white"
        android:text="@string/hashtagText"
        />


    <com.trib.devicebee.custom.FlowLayout 
        android:id="@+id/flowLayout"

        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        />

    <EditText 
        android:layout_margin="10dp"
        android:id="@+id/hashTagsText"
        android:hint=""
        android:inputType="textFilter" 
        android:singleLine="true"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="12sp"
        />

    <Button

The best solution I came up with is to put everything in scrollView.

Now in manifest

<activity
    android:name="MyActivity"
    android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">
</activity>

Now use the onfocusChangeListener on the editText you want to focus

editText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
    @Override
    public void onFocusChange(View view, boolean b) {
        if (b){
        scrollView.smoothScrollTo(0,editText.getBottom()+5);
        }
    }
});

And we are done.

Try to play with android:windowSoftInputMode attribute in AndroidManifest.xml - "adjustPan" could be the answer.

<activity
    android:name="MyActivity"
    android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
    android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize"
    >
</activity>
