How to make button stay on the bottom when soft keyboard goes up

Question

I have a button at the bottom of the screen and I want it to stay down even if soft keyboard goes up, but currently it goes up with soft keyboard. I tried to align the button to bottom but with no success.

Here is the code (buttons are within id/activity_form_button_frame):

<RelativeLayout>
     <RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/activity_form_button_frame"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">
    <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/activity_form_next_button"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
        android:background="@android:color/black"
        android:src="@drawable/next_btn_drawable"
        android:scaleType="fitCenter"
        android:padding="5dp"
        />
    <Button
        android:id="@+id/activity_form_sumbit_button"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
        android:background="@android:color/black"
        android:text="SUBMIT"
        android:textColor="@color/buttonBlue"
        android:visibility="gone"
        android:padding="15dp"
        style="@android:style/TextAppearance.Large"/>
    </RelativeLayout>

    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/activity_form_fragmentcontainer"
        android:layout_below="@id/toolbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_above="@id/activity_form_button_frame"/>

    </RelativeLayout>

In AndroidManifest.xml, set android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" to your activity.

Like this.

<activity
    android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan">

Or:

<activity
    android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|adjustResize">

Also you can do this Programmatically.

Use this code in onCreate() method:

getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN);

Check this for Reference.
