How to keep bottom navigation stay at the bottom by using Scrollview with the child is LinearLayout as the root

Question

How to make my bottom navigation stay at the bottom with the root parent being Scrollview? The bottom navigation did not stay at the bottom when I change my root parent which is Scrollview.

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@color/white"
    android:fillViewport="true"
    tools:context=".ManageActivity">

    <LinearLayout ... >

        <androidx.cardview.widget.CardView ...>

 <com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
            android:id="@+id/btm_nav"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
            android:background="@color/purple"
            android:clipToPadding="false"
            app:itemIconTint="@color/bottom_nav_color"
            app:itemTextColor="@color/bottom_nav_color"
            app:menu="@menu/bottom_nav" />

    </LinearLayout>


</ScrollView>

Change LinearLayout to RelativeLayout, and set it's height to match_parent. Property layout_alignParentBottom doesn't work in LinearLayout as parent layout. — Ban Markovic, Oct 10 '19 at 08:43

Try like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/container"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <ScrollView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_above="@id/navigation" >
        <!--Other Stuff here-->
    </ScrollView>

    <com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
        android:id="@+id/navigation"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:background="@color/purple"
        android:clipToPadding="false"
        app:itemIconTint="@color/bottom_nav_color"
        app:itemTextColor="@color/bottom_nav_color"
        app:menu="@menu/bottom_nav" />

</RelativeLayout>
