How do I add adView outside of scrollview in android studio?

I am trying to add a banner add at the bottom of my app but I don't know how to put it so that it is not affected by the scrollview. I want it to sit at the bottom of my screen without it being
affected by the scroll effect how do I do this, when I try putting the AdView code outside the ScrollView it doesn't work.
This is how my activity_main.xml looks like
<ScrollView 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="#color/grey"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
android:layout_margin="16dp"
app:cardCornerRadius="8dp"
app:cardElevation="8dp"
app:cardBackgroundColor="#color/blue"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<androidx.appcompat.widget.SearchView
android:id="#+id/search_view"
app:defaultQueryHint="Search..."
app:iconifiedByDefault="false"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"/>
</androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_margin="16dp"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView_a"
android:textSize="24sp"
android:text="A"
android:textColor="#color/blue"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:padding="8dp"
android:textStyle="italic"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/recycler_b"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:orientation="vertical">
<com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
ads:adSize="SMART_BANNER"
ads:adUnitId="ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111">
</com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

This is my suggestion: Put scrollview inside constrainLayout, like this:
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" ...>
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#+id/view"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" ...>
//main layout here
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
<AdView
android:id="#+id/view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

Make your parent layout to LinearLayout, add the AdView to be on the top (width to match the parent and the height to wrap content), add your scrollView (width and height to match parent)
The xml will look like this
<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:orientation="vertical"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<AdView
android:id="#+id/view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" />
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#+id/view"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">
// your layout.
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>

Bottom Navigation View goes up with windowSoftInputMode=adjustResize

I need windowSoftInputMode= adjustRezise for my layout so that my buttons go up with the keyboard. BUT I don't want my BottomNagivationView to be affected by this.
How can I solve such?
My BottomNavigationView comes from MainActivity.xml which is:
<RelativeLayout
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"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/fragment_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_above="#+id/bottom_navigation"></FrameLayout>
<com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
android:id="#+id/bottom_navigation"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
app:menu="#menu/bottom_menu"/>
</RelativeLayout>
My manifest has android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" but I adjust it by code when I open the fragment with:
getActivity().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE);
Here are some pictures so you could understand what I mean: https://imgur.com/a/vjePxI6
So what I would like to know is how I could set the BottomNavigationView to do nothing on keyboard opening while I'd like my buttons to be affected by :
getActivity().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE);

In my case problem solved by just adding following line in manifest file.
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize|adjustPan"

add android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" inside your activity tag into your manifest file.
then go to your activity and change the parent layout to RelativeLayout, then create your FrameLayout which holds your fragments inside your relative layout which is your parent layout. Then add your second layout which is LinearLayout that holds the bottomNavigationView and make its Height and width match_parent but below the FrameLayout.
Below is the example of the main activity layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout 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:orientation="vertical"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
//FrameLayout which holds all your fragments
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/fragments_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</FrameLayout>
//BottomNavigationView Container
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:gravity="bottom"
android:layout_below="#id/fragments_container">
//BottomMenus
<com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:id="#+id/bottom_navigation"
android:background="#drawable/rectangle_4_dash"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">
//Container of Menus
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:weightSum="5">
//BottomMenu One
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:gravity="center_vertical">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="20dp"
android:layout_height="20dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:src="#drawable/home_icon" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:text="Home" />
</LinearLayout>
//BottomMenu Two
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="20dp"
android:layout_height="20dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:src="#drawable/contact_icon" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:text="Contact" />
</LinearLayout>
//BottomMenu Three
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:gravity="center_vertical">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="20dp"
android:layout_height="20dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:src="#drawable/about_icon" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="About"
android:layout_gravity="center"/>
</LinearLayout>
//BottomMenu Four
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:gravity="center_vertical">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="20dp"
android:layout_height="17dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:src="#drawable/services_icon" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Services"
android:layout_gravity="center"/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView>
</LinearLayout>
Then go to your fragment which you want to scroll and design it like below one.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:text="Title Of Your Form"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:textColor="#color/black"
android:textSize="18sp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="20dp">
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/f_name"
android:inputType="textPersonName"
android:padding="10dp"
android:textSize="14sp" />
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:hint="#string/m_name"
android:inputType="textPersonName"
android:padding="10dp"
android:textSize="14sp" />
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:hint="#string/l_name"
android:inputType="textPersonName"
android:padding="10dp"
android:textSize="14sp" />
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:hint="Message"
android:inputType="text"
android:padding="10dp"
android:textSize="14sp" />
</LinearLayout>
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:text="Send Messagge"
android:textAllCaps="false"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:layout_marginBottom="40dp"/>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
That is how i solved it,
if you have any doubt please let me know but if its helps or looks like a correct answer please mark it as a correct answer thanks.

Change size layout ImageView when WebView scrolls

I have a project with Android Studio and in Activity I have content html using WebView. The Image should be shown as an ImageView to make it look good. I want to change the height of the ImageView when I scroll the WebView to the bottom and then back to normal size when I scroll back to the top. How can enable it?
Here is my xml code:

Make buttons in GridLayout fill empty space

Need help at stretching my buttons in GridLayout so they would take all of the free space under the TextView
Here is my hierarchy
P.S. source code:
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout 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"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/display"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="100dp"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
<GridLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:columnCount="4"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/display">
<Button
android:id="#+id/buttonOne"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="1"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/display" />

check if you are assigning the height and width in px, and change them to % (percentage).. is there any way you can show the source ?
P.S. this is how i fixed it.. i've changed it to Linear
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/re``s-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/display"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="100dp"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
<GridLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:columnCount="4"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/display">
<Button
android:id="#+id/buttonOne"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="1"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/display" />

Image behind button of app in scrollview

I want to create a scrollview but only in the upper part above my button. But my image shows below my button and I want it to stop above my button and I should scroll. I assign the image in my code, maybe this can be the issue.
Code of my xml file:
<RelativeLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="true">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/show_name"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="24sp"
android:autoSizeTextType="uniform"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/show_startdate"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="24sp"
android:autoSizeTextType="uniform"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/show_enddate"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="24sp"
android:autoSizeTextType="uniform"/>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/show_image_war"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
<Button
android:id="#+id/cancel_show_war"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/mybutton"
android:text="#string/cancel_input"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"/>
</RelativeLayout>
Code where I assign my image:
File img_file = new File(imgPath);
ImageView imgView = findViewById(R.id.show_image_war);
imgView.setImageURI(Uri.fromFile(img_file));
