Textview disappears when typing in landscape mode

Question

I have a basic form with some Textviews on the left and Edittexts on the right.

When I try to type in portrait mode everything looks fine.

However, when trying to type in landscape mode, I can't see the Textview beside the Edittext.

Here is my xml code

<ScrollView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical">

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="horizontal">

    <TextView
    android:text="Name:"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textSize="22dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
    android:id="@+id/textView_name"
    android:layout_below="@+id/editText_pass"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentStart="true" />

        <EditText
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:inputType="textPersonName"
            android:textSize="22dp"
            android:ems="10"
            android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
            android:layout_alignTop="@+id/textView_name"
            android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/editText_pass"
            android:layout_alignStart="@+id/editText_pass"
            android:id="@+id/editText_name" />

    </LinearLayout>
    </LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

Edit: The question is indeed a duplicate of Disabling the fullscreen editing view for soft keyboard input in landscape?

The title could also be considered a bit vague.

However, both answers given produced the desired result (though with limitations to the view), so I leave up to a moderator to decide if the question is worth deleting or not.

Both the images and your content doesn't match. Please check the question again. — Nigam Patro, Nov 17 '17 at 12:09
By the way this is the normal behavior of android application in landscape mode. Every textfield will take the whole screen. — Umair, Nov 17 '17 at 12:11

In your xml where you are creating your textView add this line:

android:imeOptions="flagNoFullscreen"
