Ok if I got your question right, you want a layout with a background and a scrollview. And when the softkeyboard pops up, you want to resize the scrollview, but keep the background at full size right? if that's what you want than I may have found a workaround for this issue:

What you can do is make 2 activities.

Activity 1:

public class StartActivity extends Activity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    Intent StartApp = new Intent(this, DialogActivity.class);
    startActivity(StartApp);         // Launch your official (dialog) Activity

    setContentView(R.layout.start);  // your layout with only the background 
    }
}

Activity2:

public class DialogActivity extends Activity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    this.getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DIM_BEHIND);  // get rid of dimming
    this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);  //get rid of title bar (if you want)

    setContentView(R.layout.dialog);  //Dialog Layout with scrollview and stuff

    Drawable d = new ColorDrawable(Color.BLACK);  //make dialog transparent
    d.setAlpha(0);
    getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(d);
    }
}

start layout:

  //your background

dialog layout:

AndroidManifest.xml

start Activity:

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen">

dialog Activity

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
android:excludeFromRecents="true"

Edit: To finish Activities at once use the following somewhere inside your DialogActivity (example: override the backbutton):

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), StartActivity.class);
    intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
    intent.putExtra("EXIT", true);
    startActivity(intent);
}

and in onCreate() of StartActivity:

if (getIntent().getBooleanExtra("EXIT", false)) {
    finish();
}
else {
    Intent StartApp = new Intent(this, TestActivity.class);
    startActivity(StartApp);
}

Screenshots!

Normal

Clicked the EditText box

After Scrolled down (ps: i put textbox inside scrollview thats why its gone ;) )

I hope this will help your out ;)
