It would be great that you have improved my answer with your knowledge then adding such comments, because such comments will not gonna help the user to resolved issue, anyways i do take care of asking users about more info and logs in comments. – Silvans Solanki Mar 21 '16 at 11:51
this is a comment rather than an answer. An answer requires a better explanation, as to why for example would you need to set the SoftInputMode as hidden in your case. – Michele La Ferla Mar 21 '16 at 11:56

Put your required code in scrollview, than for activity class you have to set one property

      android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"

            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:focusable="true"
            android:orientation="vertical" >
