If you want it to scroll (only when keyboard pop up), you will need adjustResize warped in scrollView, but adjustResize automatically shifted the page for you.

may be you could scroll the page to the desired position after the adjustResize occur

// this is the edittext
        this.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {

            @Override
            public void onFocusChange(View view, boolean hasFocus) {
                int[] absLocation = new int[2];
                int absHeight = absLocation[1];

                if (hasFocus) {
                        ScrollView sv = // get the id of your scroll view

                        if (sv != null){
                            view.postDelayed(new Runnable() {

                                @Override
                                public void run() {
                                    sv.smoothScrollBy(0, number); // how much you want to scroll to
                                }
                            }, 700);  // some delay after the adjust Resize

                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        });
    }
    ```

I may be late to answer, but may help someone.

I was also facing this issue and ended up hiding button which we don't want to be visible on keyboard up. So in this case it's "create account" which is to be hidden on keyboard up and show on keyboard down.
