Button should be sticky at Bottom with adjustResize

Question

I want to have a button that should be sticky at the bottom when Keyboard is open.

Linear layout with a long-form that contains multiple edittext in the vertical orientation.

Button is at the bottom and outside of scrollview

Manifest has a adjustsize property

So when I click any of the edit text, the Button comes up on the top of the Keyboard.

I have even tried android:fitsToSystemWindow=true but nothing works

I want something like that where the button does not come up on the keyboard and button should be sticky at the bottom too. How can I achieve that ?

Here is my XML file

One way can be to add global listener to detect whether keyboard is showing or not. And then hide/show your button accordingly.

You can take help from my this answer for the same.

Apart from this any other way like from the XML only I can do this Because then it will become hard to handle when I have a custom keyboard – drjansari Nov 22 '19 at 07:43
@drjansari I had similar scenario with bottom tabs but couldn't find any other solution, so ended up doing that. Moreover the listener I used was based on height of view rather than any event so it should work for custom keyboard too. – gprathour Nov 22 '19 at 07:50

In your menifest file use adjustPan for windowSoftInputMode rather then adjustResize

<activity android:name=".youractivity"
    android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" />

If I keep it as adjustPan my layout will not scroll – drjansari Nov 22 '19 at 06:26
to use it with scrollview you can use `android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize|stateHidden"` – Hamza Khan Nov 22 '19 at 06:29
Yea but then my button will come on the top of Keyboard, Check the XML which I have posted in the question – drjansari Nov 22 '19 at 06:37
