android making layout scrollable when soft keyboard open, but not shifting it upwards

Question

This is my screen, with one button hidden behind the keyboard.

I want exactly like this, but scrollable. -

Whenever, the keyboard gets opened, I want to make look it the same as in image. But, instead to make it scrollable, so that the user can scroll to view the bottom part of the screen (including button), even when the keyboard is open.

I tried -

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"

but, this shifts the bottom part upwards, whenever keyboard is opened.

as in this image -

I don't want this - (shifting of Create Account button upwards, when keypad is opened)

CREATE ACCOUNT button must be visible after scrolling.

Here is the layout -

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"

    android:id="@+id/root_layout"
    android:fillViewport="true"

    >
    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical"

        android:weightSum="10"

        >
        <LinearLayout  android:layout_width="match_parent"

Add this input mode in your manifest file.

android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustResize"
