Preventing linear layout from moving up when soft keyboard is visible

Question

I have a layout something like this -

<Relativelayout

<ScrollView
           <LinearLayout>
            </LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

<LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

</Relative>

If you want to look at full code it is here

The problem is that whenever soft keyboard is visible on screen the linear layout below ScrollView lifts up and blocks the view inside of ScrollView .

What I want is that if soft keyboard is visible nothing lifts up but I can still scroll through ScrollView.

EDIT

May be i was not clear before ....as everybody is saying to change this

android:windowSoftInputMode to

adjustPan | adjustResize or combnation of state and adjust values

I already did this ..this prevents lifting up of LinearLayout below the ScrollView but it also blocks scrolling feature of ScrollView .

EDIT 2

as @WritingForAnroid suggests in answer i made ScrollView parent view in layout and that solved my problem but then as scrollview always takes height in wrap_content manner so bottom view that was previously aligned with the bottom of screen is not aligned now so how do i align bottom view with bottom of screen if ScrollView is parent view .

i did this already but it didn't help ...all options comes down to this either i am unable to scroll in scrollview or linearlayout lifts up. — Devansh Kumar, Sep 09 '16 at 11:37
Have you tried `android:scrollbars="vertical"` inside `Scroll View` ? — Jay Rathod RJ, Sep 09 '16 at 11:40
please check android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustResize" in menifest. — Sangram Haladkar, Sep 09 '16 at 11:40

Make Scrollview as parent view and add this line to your activity in manifest file

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
