ScrollView doesn't work when keyboard shows up

I'm trying to implement a simple activity where the user can rate something and put a comment.
My view is this :
with the code :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="true"
android:background="#color/background_material_light"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:isScrollContainer="true"
>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/img_journey"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="250dp"
android:src="#drawable/pirate"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true" />
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/ratingLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_below="#+id/img_journey"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/title_journey"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Title"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:textSize="30sp"
android:textColor="#color/niceblue" />
<RatingBar
android:id="#+id/framework_normal_ratingbar"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="48dp"
android:maxHeight="48dp"
android:rating="5"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/textbox_rate"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_above="#+id/button_layout"
android:layout_below="#+id/ratingLayout"
android:layout_marginLeft="30dp"
android:layout_marginRight="30dp"
android:layout_marginTop="25dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="25dp">
<EditText
android:padding="10dp"

android:background="#drawable/textbox"
android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:autofillHints="" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout

android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"

<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center|bottom"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:weightSum="8"
android:layout_marginBottom="40dp">
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn_launch"
android:text="SEND RATE"
style="#style/button_classic"/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>
The fact is, when I show the keyboard on clicking in the editText, the view is not scrollable and the result is this :
I search like 3 hours on the internet but I found nothing, the only result that I found was to put this on the onCreate of my activity
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN|WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN|WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE);
But it doesn't work either. (I've tried with and without each flag)
The second thing I've tried was to put the ScrollView into the RelativeLayout, but sameresult, doesn't work.
The thing I would like is that the keyboard appears below the edit text and that we do not see the button SEND RATE (except if the user scroll) and, finally, the user should be able to scroll even when the keyboard is displayed.
Am I doing something wrong or what ?
Thanks in advance !!

How can i hide the elements when my keyboard pops up?

I have seen a few similar questions, but they want the things to show up, I want to hide them.
Basically I have a bunch of elements in my RelativeLayout and when the activity shows, the keyboard pops up, since I have an editText, and the elements that are aligned in the Bottom go up along the keyboard, I don't want that, I want them to stay hidden, any idea how can I achieve this?
This is the xml of my Activity:

The last two elements before the scrollview are the ones that need to stay hidden.

add the following to your activity in the manifest:
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
from the API:
The activity's main window is not resized to make room for the soft keyboard. Rather, the contents of the window are automatically panned so that the current focus is never obscured by the keyboard and users can always see what they are typing. This is generally less desirable than resizing, because the user may need to close the soft keyboard to get at and interact with obscured parts of the window.

By my understanding of your question you do not want the keyboard to push the UI elements at the bottom of your layout.
To achieve this all you need to do is put the following line into your manifest activity tag:
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustNothing"

Linear Layout using weight to adapt screen size

I am trying to use a linear layout as a row for my recyclerView/adapter, basically my row has 3 elements: an image, a textView and a checkButton with some text.
What I want is the image occupying like 50% of the width plus 40 height, so I set the weight of the image to 2.
Next I need to have another 50% layout that has the other 2 elements, and I want at the top right of the image the textView and at bottom the checkbox.
I already implemented this before with relative layouts, but the content didn't adapt to different devices, so I tried the linear layout and the weight property.
So this is what I have at the moment:
<?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"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/plantPhoto"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:contentDescription="photo " />
<com.example.afcosta.inesctec.pt.android.Helpers.NexusBoldTextView
android:id="#+id/plantName"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:textColor="#color/nephritis"
android:textSize="15sp" />
<CheckBox
android:id="#+id/plantCheck"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignStart="#+id/plantName"
android:layout_below="#+id/plantName"
android:layout_marginTop="25dp"
android:button="#drawable/customdrawablecheckbox"
android:textSize="10dp" />
</LinearLayout>
Here is the image of what I have at the moment:image
As I explained, I need the image to occupy the 50% width and the green text to be side on side with the photo at the right.
The checkbox must be below, any help??
Thanks

Try this,
<?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="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/plantPhoto"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="70dp"
android:layout_weight="0.5"
android:contentDescription="photo "
android:src="#drawable/placeholder" />
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.5">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/plantName"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="TextView"
android:textColor="#color/colorBlack"
android:textSize="15sp" />
<CheckBox
android:id="#+id/plantCheck"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/plantName"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:text="CheckBox"
android:textSize="15dp" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>

To me, it would have to be set with a Relative layout. Then for the elements to "adapt to different devices" you would need to set android:layout_width and height to wrap_content or fill_parent depending on what you want to achieve.

Set image weight to 50% which is .5, anything you add on that layout will be horizontal, so to solve that just add another layout at .5 weight and set it vertical.

You can try something like this
<?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"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/plantPhoto"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:contentDescription="photo " />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="vertical">
<com.example.afcosta.inesctec.pt.android.Helpers.NexusBoldTextView
android:id="#+id/plantName"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#color/nephritis"
android:textSize="15sp" />
<CheckBox
android:id="#+id/plantCheck"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:layout_marginTop="25dp"
android:button="#drawable/customdrawablecheckbox"
android:textSize="10dp" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Aligning my views to the right

Alright, what I'm trying to do is: setting an imageview to be on the right and the 3 textviews will be located on the left relative to the image. With the following XML code, the imageview is on the left and the 3 textviews are located in the right of the imageview.
Here's the look of it now:
As I said, I want the image to be aligned on the right side, and the 3 textviews on the left of the image.
So here's the current xml: http://pastebin.com/r68S1QKv
If I change the LinearLayout to RelativeLayout (so I can use alignParentRight = true), the textviews stack on each other and are not displayed vertically.
Suggestions, please?
EDIT: Looks like I haven't clarify the wanted look, here's an illustration of what I want:

Use This Code.Use RelativeLayout as parent & assign android:layout_alignParentRight="true" to his child this set your all view to right side.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/row_title"
style="bold"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="hey1" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/row_subtitle"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="hey2" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/row_postcode_city"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="hey3" />
</LinearLayout>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/icon"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

What you can do - is to make outer RelativeLayout, make you image alignParentRight=true, put text views in a separate linear layout (with vertical orientation), align your LinearLayout with text views to the left edge of the image view (layout_toLeftOf="#+id/img_id").
Here is what I manage to do following this approach:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/img"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:id="#+id/text_container">
<TextView
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:text="text1"/>
<TextView
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:text="text2"/>
<TextView
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:text="text3"/>
</LinearLayout>
<ImageView
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:src="#drawable/icon"
android:id="#+id/img"/>
</RelativeLayout>

scaled ImageView placement in RelativeLayout

I need to place three elements inside RelativeLayout:
scaled image in ImageView on the right side with the top and bottom margins
TextEdit in the left top corner
LinearLayout in the rest of the space (below the title and to the left of the image)
The problem happens when the image is scaled in ImageView. I want it fits the entire parent's height considering margins. After scaling uniformly to fit the parent's height I want ImageView wraps the image's width. But as the result there are some unfilled horizontal spaces in ImageView.
The problem looks similar to one solved here. But in my case all tests with android:adjustViewBounds and android:scaleTypes didn't work. I suppose there is a problem because of margins and RelativeLayout use.
Here is the extract from my xml file:
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<ImageView
android:id="#id/albums_slideshow"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:layout_marginTop="71.33dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="88.67dp"
android:scaleType="centerInside"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:src="#drawable/music_img_album_noimage"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="#dimen/music_module_screen_title_margin_left"
android:layout_marginTop="#dimen/music_module_screen_title_margin_top"
android:text="#string/music_string"
style="#style/ScreenTitleFont"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"/>
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignTop="#id/albums_slideshow"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/albums_slideshow">
...
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
Has anyone met this problem and found the answer?

this is what i have come up with
and this is the xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
>
<TextView android:id="#+id/album_text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dip" android:layout_marginTop="20dip"
android:text="music string" android:background="#android:color/white"
/>
<LinearLayout android:id="#+id/albums_list"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_below="#id/album_text"
android:layout_marginTop="71.33dp"
android:orientation="vertical" android:background="#android:color/white"
>
<TextView android:id="#+id/album_text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dip" android:layout_marginTop="20dip"
android:text="albums list"
/>
</LinearLayout>
<ImageView android:id="#+id/albums_slideshow"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_marginBottom="88.67dp"
android:layout_alignTop="#id/albums_list"
android:scaleType="centerInside"
android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:background="#android:color/darker_gray"
android:src="#drawable/icon"/>
</RelativeLayout>
