Button footer is not working when the input keyboard is visible

Question

I have an activity with a couple of editText in the top of the activity and two buttons that i have in a footer.

When I press one of the edit text the keyboard is shows up and the footer adjustResize. This is the behaviour that I want to have.

My problem is that when I try to press one of this buttons (when the keyboard is visible) the keyboard is hidden and the action to press the button is not working.

My question is, how can I keep the footer working when the keyboard is visible in the activity.

My activity in the manifest:

 <activity
        android:name=".activity.InitSessionActivity"
        android:configChanges="orientation"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" />

I've created my activity according to the solution of this answer: How to adjust layout when soft keyboard appears

My activity xml:

Answer 1

Edit your footer as:-

<include layout="@layout/footer"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_alignParentStart="true" />

Remove this from ScrollView

android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" 

Remove this from relative layout having id ly_general

android:fitsSystemWindows="true" 

Add this to scrollview

android:fitsSystemWindows="true" 

EDIT:-

If you don't want to align your footer to bottom, then remove this line

android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"

and adjust it wherever you want to place it on your UI.

Answer 2

I just tried out your xml with a footer i wrote

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
              android:orientation="vertical"
              android:layout_width="match_parent"
              android:layout_height="40dp"
              android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
                android:background="@android:color/black">

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="button 1"/>

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="button 2"/>

</LinearLayout>

and everything seems to be working fine. can you maybe explain the problem a bit more? or post your code/footer?
