How do I avoid this meshing of textview and buttons?

Question

Issue:

I have seen this overlap anytime I have a button under a textview or edittext. If I try to add text to one of these, the keyboard forces the buttons to raise. What causes this overlap and how can I avoid it?

Try android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustNothing" in your AndroidManifest.xml file for the activity you're using the layout, for example:

<activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustNothing">
