android Scroll Layout upwards when keyboard appears on Screen

Question

I have spent a whole day researching on how to achieve this. I have a scrollview, an edittext below it and a button to the right of the edittext.

1) I am trying to move all these contents upwards as the keyboard appears without any of the views overlapping.

This is what I have and this is what happens when edittext is focused. There is this small layer that overlaps my scrollview content

I want to achieve this whatsapp-like content where all content moves upwards but edittext and button do not overlap content above

I have tried different solutions like margin, padding, windowsoftinputMode, changing my layout in different ways but I couldn't still achieve this. Please Help me! This is my code:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    </RelativeLayout>

and Manifest:

<activity
        android:name=".DetailsActivity"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"/>

You need to put your entire layout in a "container" like when you add a Snackbar notification. When you add a snackbar notification you are required to designate a container and put elements you want the Snackbar to move up when it appears into the container. This is done with a Coordinator layout (aka FrameLayout).
