How to move a button above the keyboard?

This question has been asked before, but I can't find a good answer that works for me.
Here is my XML code (updated):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Account Name"
android:textSize="32dp"
android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
android:id="#+id/textView" />
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:id="#+id/accountName"
android:background="#drawable/edit_text_background"
android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
android:layout_marginRight="15dp"
android:padding="10dp"
android:backgroundTint="#color/abc_secondary_text_material_light" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Account Balance"
android:textSize="32dp"
android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"/>
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:inputType="numberDecimal"
android:id="#+id/accountBalance"
android:background="#drawable/edit_text_background"
android:layout_marginRight="15dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
android:padding="10dp"
android:backgroundTint="#color/abc_secondary_text_material_light"
android:text="£"
/>
<Button
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="20dp"
android:text="New Button"
android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
I've tried using android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|adjustResize" however it hasn't worked.
I feel I'm doing something wrong with the layout of the XML code... It looks like this and I want the button to move up when the keyboard appears:

try using ScrollView at parent level
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/login_form"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
>

in your AndroidManifest.xml
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustResize"
in style.xml file set your activity style as
<item name="android:windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
make sure you are not using fullscreen activity.

I struggled with the same thing for long. The solution worked for me is by
adding below line to activity manifest.
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"
I request to keep the layout inside scrollview except the view(Button in this ques case) which you want move with keyboard.

Android custom row layout issue

Sorry in advance I need to include a few pictures to make my problem a little easier to understand. I am using a linear layout for my custom rows and it is giving me lots of trouble trying to get the rows to look how I want. Currently it looks like this
Please forgive the quick paint picture I am about to show but it is how I would like the layout to look.
I would like to add the name textbox above the dog picture, and a time stamp textbox above each of the 1 and 2. Whenever I try to add textboxes to display this it really messes with the layout. The textbox above the dog picture always wants to go to the right or left of the dog image and push the image to the middle of the page and the buttons get spread out further. I do not have much experience with this layout I typically do relative layout where I can drag and drop pieces. Any advise or help is greatly appreciated.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="150dip"
android:layout_height="150dip"
android:id="#+id/dogimage"
android:clickable="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:background="#drawable/dogpic"
android:onClick="sendProfile"
android:scaleType="fitXY" />
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="75dip"
android:layout_height="75dip"
android:id="#+id/dog1num1"
android:background="#drawable/num1"

You need to wrap your imageview/textview combo in a LinearLayout. And you should set the imageButton using src, not background. Do it like this:
<?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">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Title" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/dogimage"
android:layout_width="150dip"
android:layout_height="150dip"
android:clickable="true"
android:onClick="sendProfile"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:src="#drawable/dogpic" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Timestamp 1" />
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/dog1num1"
android:layout_width="75dip"
android:layout_height="75dip"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:clickable="true"
android:onClick="NumberOne"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:src="#drawable/num1" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Timestamp 1" />
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/dog1num2"
android:layout_width="75dip"
android:layout_height="75dip"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:clickable="true"
android:onClick="NumberOne"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:src="#drawable/num2" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

How to make the ellipsize textview and imageview show correct

I'm working on a layout file. This layout requires that the icons should always after the single line TextView. If the TextView is too long,then the TextView is ellipsize and the icons should be shown.Such as:
situation1: [[textview][icon1][icon2] ]
situation2: [[textview......][icon1][icon2]].
I have found the similar case in here, but it doesn't work for me.
My current code is something like this:
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:gravity="left">
<!-- icon show here -->
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/icons"
android:paddingLeft="5dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:gravity="center_vertical|left">
</LinearLayout>
<!--text show here-->
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/icons"
android:singleLine="true"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:gravity="left"/>
</RelativeLayout>
The LinearLayout is used to add icons when fetch data from server. Android's layout preview is like above situation,but the apk runs on device like this this:
situation1: [ [textview][icon1][icon2]]
situation2: [[textview......][icon1][icon2]].
I'm really confused. Anybody has some ideas about this situation? Thanks in advance.
I found the code works fine after Android 4.3(include 4.3,I haven't test 4.2),it doesn't work below Android 4.3.The reason I think is that different Android systems parse these layout params in different ways.Such as some version think the parent container layout's params is more important than the child view.

Finally, I got my stupid situation.But it works.I will give you code:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<!--text show here-->
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:singleLine="true"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<!-- icons show here -->
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/icons"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:orientation="horizontal">
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right"/>
</LinearLayout>

Android textview rotate with background

I need to create a layout something similar to below picture. My problem is how can I rotate text view and add a background to it. Tried custom textview with draw rotated. But cant position correctly with that method
<Button
android:id="#+id/dealItemPerc"
android:layout_width="150dp"
android:layout_height="20dp"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:fontFamily="sans-serif-light"
android:background="#drawable/deal_percentage_back"
android:rotation="-45"
android:text="TextView"
android:textColor="#color/app_black"
android:textSize="14sp" />
Tried with a button but that also not worked because cant position correctly.

Created like this. rotated frame layout with text view inside of it. Don't know why the heck someone gave minus rate.
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<me.dushyantha.mywebserviceapp.SquareImageView
android:id="#+id/dealItemImage"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:padding="5dp"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:src="#drawable/detail_rounded_block" >
</me.dushyantha.mywebserviceapp.SquareImageView>
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="60dp"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:rotation="-45"
>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/dealItemPerc"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="TextView"
android:textSize="14sp"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:background="#drawable/deal_percentage_back"
/>
</FrameLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

activity_main.xml
<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"
tools:context="com.example.test1.MainActivity" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_marginTop="25dip"
android:background="#android:color/black"
android:padding="5dip"
android:rotation="-45"
android:text="Hello World"
android:textColor="#android:color/white" />
</RelativeLayout>
Nothing to do with java code
Build and run the project.
Done

I can see the button at the bottom of the layout as shown in the screenshot .It displays like this in pre Lollipop devices(below < 5.0 devices) :
But in Lollipop the button at the bottom does not appear as shown in following screenshot :
I am not able to get the reason for that Please help me out . Thanks in advance .

I have solved my problem ! In fact, the LinearLayout was behind the navigationBar. To fix it, just add this line to the Activity (after setContentView();)
getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION);

I'm not sure why the layout behaves differently between Lollipop/pre-Lollipop (unless there's some other piece that's not shown). I will point out though that I don't think layoutGravity is valid for views within a RelativeLayout -- that's something you'd use with a LinearLayout. I'd first remove that property and see how it behaves on pre-Lollipop, and then see about correcting the layout once that's done. It could be that layoutGravity is causing some sort of incorrect behavior pre-Lollipop.
