layout not going all the way to the bottom

Question

I am new to designing layouts , and i am trying to make this layout resizable with android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"

everything is working perfectly but the problem is i can't get the last relative layout to go all the way to the bottom i tried to set gravity to bottom but it did not work

i added a line in my code where my problem occurs

here is my activity layout:

    </RelativeLayout>

many thanks in advance

Your first viewgroup needs to have wrap_content, as you has already done, in order for the scrollview to scroll... but i think android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" is not possible since the relativelayout has height="wrap_content"... consider using constraintlayout instead? — Mathias Kirkegaard, Oct 02 '19 at 08:44
i tried constraintLayout but adjustResize does not resize everything with constraintLayout. what i am trying to achieve is that https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16411056/how-to-adjust-layout-when-soft-keyboard-appears — nick isra, Oct 02 '19 at 08:47

I have tried your layout in my temporary activity and adding android:fillViewport="true" in the ScrollView worked for me.

Here is the solution:

Add this line in Manifest file for your activity

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"

I have bit modified the XML file code to make it very easy to read and less view hierarchy.

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="#000000"
    android:fillViewport="true">

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/mainLayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="140dp"
            android:layout_height="35dp"
            android:layout_marginStart="10dp"
            android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
            android:background="@drawable/ic_eye"
            android:contentDescription="@null" />

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/testUsernameText"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="50dp"
            android:layout_marginStart="50dp"
            android:layout_marginTop="48dp"
            android:layout_marginEnd="50dp"
            android:gravity="center_vertical"

            android:textColor="@color/colorTextWhite"
            android:textSize="15sp" />

    </LinearLayout>

</ScrollView>

While the keyboard is open

thanks i need to add android:fillViewport="true" to my scroll view, but i was wondering what is the difference between my code and yours? linear layout won't be the same for all screen sizes? and does android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" work with constraintLayout? — nick isra, Oct 02 '19 at 09:34
Yes, it will work and in my code is optimized and have less number of view hierarchy. I also have added `android:fillViewport="true"`. — Jaymin, Oct 02 '19 at 09:39
I tried yours and mine, but only the "Welcome to..." got higher , i tried lowering the ("username","password"..) boxes so it would be hidden when keyboard pop up , but when i did that, the resizing doesn't work and it stays the same , on both your code and mine — nick isra, Oct 02 '19 at 11:29
