I have an activity with primarily an ImageView, 3 EditText views, and a Button to save the data and send it to the database. In portrait on my device, this is typically sufficient to fit on the screen. However, I want to have scroll functionality, particularly if the device changes to a landscape view. So I've nested my constraint-layout into a ScrollView (and later a NestedScrollView a suggestion). Both views have the same behavior in this situation as far as I can tell.
What is happening in my current layout is the 'Save' button is being cut off when the device is in landscape. I've found if I add just a TextView (textView6 in the code below) with a bunch of filler text I get the desired scrolling behavior in both portrait and landscape.
How can I change my code to get the proper scrolling behavior without the filler TextView?
Edit: if I place a large blank View below the button it will at least let me scroll to the button in landscape. Is there a better way to do this?
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="300dp"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@id/new_request_save_button"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent">

- Normal portrait view
- Landscape: won't scroll to bottom
- Landscape: with textView6, scrolls to bottom correctly
I've tried the suggestions I've found on these pages without success:
- paddingBottom 10dp
- 'stackoverflow.com/questions/38663428/android-scrollview-gets-cut-off-at-the-bottom'
- 'stackoverflow.com/questions/11660937/android-scrollview-refuses-to-scroll-to-bottom'
XML Layout (textView6 commented out so this is the code that has the problem, with textView6 scrolls as desired.)
