Android soft kyeboard: how do I make buttons at bottom of my layout (say, like SAVE, CANCEL etc) always visible, even with the soft keyboard enabled?

I am sure there must be a simple way for this, but I havent found an answer yet.

Let me further explain. My activity (looks like an application form) has a good number of EditText and buttons, their numbers vary during the run. So, although they are always in a ScrollView, they might not always be enough of them to actually scroll on them. That said, there are a few buttons at the bottom of my layout which I want to be always visible, irrespective of whether the soft keyboard is visible or not. Currently click开发者_运维技巧ing on an EditText pops up the soft keyboard and hides the buttons at the bottom.

Note, I have already tried using Relative Layout and AdjustPan options unsuccessfully.

Thanks in advance for your help.
