Please verify my layout: bottom button keeps coming up over keyboard

I have a layout which does almost what I want. There's just one bug regarding the button at the bottom. I should stay at the bottom at all times. But whenever I bring up the soft-keyboard the button will be displayed above the keyboard. This is not what I want but it should become covered by the keyboard.

Moreover, I'd be happy if you could comment on how the layout's built.

Thanks, steff

Add android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" to your activity tag in the AndroidManifest.xml.

This way, the software keyboard won't resize your layout and your button will stay under it. Take a look here to get a better idea about different soft keyboard modes.

I had a similar problem. In which I have to show one button at bottom of screen always. I solved the problem of button is coming up of the keyboard in the following way:

  <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="fill_parent"
   android:orientation="vertical" 
   android:background="@color/white"
   android:gravity="center_horizontal"
   >
       <ScrollView 
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@color/white"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:id="@+id/ff"
        >
                 .......
       </ScrollView>

       <LinearLayout android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1">
            <TextView
            android:id="@+id/txtSigninProblem"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"         
            android:layout_below="@+id/ff"
            android:layout_gravity="bottom|center_horizontal"           
            android:text="Problem Signing in?"
            />
        </LinearLayout>
 </LinearLayout>
