ScrollView doesn't work when keyboard is up

Question

I need to use a <scrollview> layout that consists of some EditTexts and a linear of Buttons at the bottom, but the problem is when the soft keyboard is out, the layout doesn't scroll and it hides the Buttons' linear completely and the main linear (@+id/main) goes out of the screen!

Here's a recap of my layout:

  </RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>

And in the manifest I have tried the attribute:

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"

Also, I have tried same questions' solutions like:

But didn't work for me.

Does anyone know why it doesn't work?
Thanks in advance!

            </LinearLayout>
        </LinearLayout>
    </RelativeLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

In AndroidManifest :

android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustResize"

Thanks.It really helps. I'll post the solution after making sure that is correct. — Emad, Dec 21 '17 at 11:06

Add android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|adjustResize" to android manifest where your Activity is called

or

add this line on onCreate() method

getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE|WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE);

Finally, I found the solution.
I just changed the Scrollview's parent to RelativeLayout (instead of LinearLayout).
I don't know why, but it fixed the issue. Maybe in layouts that its main Layout is RelativeLayout, Scrollview's parent should be a RelativeLayout! (But I'm not sure)

Here is fixed code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
  xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  android:background="#03A9F4"
  android:gravity="center"
  >

  <RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+id/main"
    android:layout_width="310dip"
    android:layout_height="485dip"
    android:background="#03A9F4"
    android:gravity="center">

    <RelativeLayout
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="435dip"
      android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
      android:layout_alignParentTop="false"
      android:background="@drawable/border_signup_signin_auth">

      <!--It changed to RelativeLayout and fix the problem-->
      <RelativeLayout  
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        >

        <LinearLayout
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="70dip"

      android:contentDescription="TODO"
      app:srcCompat="@mipmap/signup"
      tools:ignore="ContentDescription"/>

  </RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>

And it wasn't necessary to add anything to Java's file or Manifest.

ScrollView doesn't work when keyboard is up
