Valid XHTML

My XML Code is as follow

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

        />
    
     <ListView

        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/speak" 
        android:layout_above="@+id/btn_Submit"/>

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/btn_Submit"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_marginBottom="50dp"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:paddingBottom="10dp"

One More thing that helped me was the change of theme in the Manifest file to NoActionBar and FullScreen (In case you don't want to use the ActionBar like me).

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.NoActionBar.Fullscreen"

I think the reason why the button is moved is because your list is empty, you have enough room to move the button and the button is not bellow the edit text, therefore it can overlap it.

There is a property in your manifest called "windowSoftInputMode". This property specifies how the soft keyboard should behave.

You could use:

android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustNothing
