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:gravity="start"
android:background="#drawable/textbox"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:hint="#string/hint_comment"
android:inputType="text"
android:autofillHints="" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/button_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
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 !!

linear layout not filling parent down the remaining part of the screen in a scrollview

I am designing a layout for an activity where some contents like Textview, spinner and buttons are arranged in the upper part of the screen. I want to position image view to the bottom of the screen with a match_parent attribute to fill to the remaining bottom of the screen and it has become a challenge to me as the image view is filling to the bottom of the remaining part of the screen. This is the entire layout of the upper section/part of the screen
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:background="#drawable/xxxVal"
android:padding="10dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">

android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:textSize="25sp"

android:text="Check"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"

</LinearLayout>
this is remaining part of the layout with a view flipper for an image that I want it to fit down to the remaining part of the screen but its not fitting as it shrinks up
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="3dp"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ViewFlipper
android:id="#+id/flipper1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:flipInterval="5000"
android:inAnimation="#anim/slide_in_right"
android:outAnimation="#anim/slide_out_left" >
</ViewFlipper>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
please kindly assist!

Try adding the imageview to the Viewflipper like so:
<ViewFlipper
android:id="#+id/simpleViewFlipper"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:src=IMAGE />
</ ViewFlipper >
Having said that you might find some issues regarding swiping when using a viewflipper inside a scrollview

Align pictures top center, bottom right and bottom left

I'm trying to align 3 pictures in a LinearLayout so that one is centered at the top, another is at the bottom aligned to the left side and the last is at the bottom aligned to the right side. Pretty much like a pyramid. How could I do this? Can you provide an example?
i.e
X
X X

Use this 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" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:gravity="center" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="bottom"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="right" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

It will be more flexible if you do it in RelativeLayout but if you want to do it in LinearLayout here is the solution:
<?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" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="top|center_horizontal"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="bottom"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="right" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

You need a RelativeLayout, not a LinearLayout.
Image A must specify the attribute
android:layout_alignParentTop="true".
Image B must specify the attributes
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
and
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true".
Image C must specify the attributes
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
and
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"

Table layout not fitting screen

I have an activity which creates a table dynamically. The activity is created and is working fine.
This is the source code of the xml file:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#142c57"
tools:context=".TableActivity" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/heading_textView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:text="#string/followup_list"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:textSize="15sp"/>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/heading_textView"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:padding="3dp">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:background="#drawable/inner_box">
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true" >
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<HorizontalScrollView
android:id="#+id/horizontalScrollView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true" >
<TableLayout
android:id="#+id/follow_up_table"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:stretchColumns="0">
</TableLayout>
</HorizontalScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
The output of the xml file:
I want the table to fill the whole box, the space on the right hand side of the table is not required and is looking awkward. What is to be done to achieve this?

Better yet stretch and shrink all columns to fit your screen with:
<TableLayout
android:id="#+id/follow_up_table"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:stretchColumns="*"
android:shrinkColumns="*">
</TableLayout>

Your table layout width wraps its content, it should be match_parent
<TableLayout
android:id="#+id/follow_up_table"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:stretchColumns="0">
</TableLayout>

Do the change as :
<TableLayout
android:id="#+id/follow_up_table"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:stretchColumns="0">
</TableLayout>
Change is :
android:layout_width="**fill_parent**"

What is the purpose of using HorizontalScrollView? Just remove it and set TableLayout's android:layout_width to match_parent.

The layout was required to be edited like this:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#142c57"
tools:context=".TableActivity" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/heading_textView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:text="#string/followup_list"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:textSize="15sp"/>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/heading_textView"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:padding="3dp">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:background="#drawable/inner_box">
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true" >
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<TableLayout
android:id="#+id/follow_up_table"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:stretchColumns="0,1">
</TableLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

How to display the Text in bottom of the screen?

In android app i have display the score in TextView in bottom of the screen, It has displayed in emulator but not display in phone. i changed to display in top of the screen it has work in phone
but i need to display in bottom of the screen in phone.
Please any one give idea?

Did you try ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM? Note that this will work only in a RelativeLayout.

<?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:background="#drawable/bg_iphone" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtDate"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
</RelativeLayout>

Here's an example of using RelativeLayout to position text at the top, middle, and bottom of the display.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:text="#string/hello_world"
tools:context=".MainActivity" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:text="#string/hello_world"
tools:context=".MainActivity" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:text="#string/hello_world"
tools:context=".MainActivity" />
</RelativeLayout>

Try this code with attribute align_parent_bottom
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:text="#string/hello_world"
tools:context=".MainActivity" />
</RelativeLayout>
