Below is an image example of my current setup and what i want

Answer 1

I've come across a pretty similar problem with the differences that a) I wasn't using a ScrollView at first and b) the item I didn't want to move was a simple TextView.

Here's the answer I found: click

What I did to fix it:

• Use adjustResize
• Use 4 Layouts: A surrounding one, 1 for the header, the ScrollView and 1 for your "bottom nav"
• Don't just rely on android:layout_alignParentBottom="true", while this will move your navigation bar to the bottom of the screen, it also means that the keyboard can move it up because of "adjustResize"
• Additionally use android:layout_height="wrap_content" in combination with android:layout_below="@id/MyScrollView" (so the layout will use up all the space it can get between the ScrollView and the bottom of the screen) and android:gravity="bottom" to simply have everything at the bottom of the layout.
• You might also be able to use android:layout_height="match_parent" instead of android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" and android:layout_height="wrap_content" but I didn't fully test it like that.
• Like I said, this will make the "bottom nav" layout use up all the space it can get below the ScrollView. If you don't want that, e.g. because your "bottom nav" has a different color you don't want to be shown too much, try creating a surrounding RelativeLayout for "bottom nav" and another empty layout inside that can push "bottom nav" downwards. ;)
