Android UI, Floating Action Button gets covered up by softkeyboard after EditText focus followed by screen rotation

Problem is as per the title. I have a floating action button at the right-bottom screen corner. When clicking on some editText field, then this button floats nicely to the top of the onscreen keyboard as per screenshot:

Problems start if I have focus set on editText view and then rotate the screen. After that point onwards whenever I click on editText field then the keyboard comes up but the floating button does not, so it gets covered up by the keyboard.

Like this:

After this happens, it does not matter if I move between frames or do some activities. The problem stays and this behaviour appears throughout the app wherever I have some editText fields and a floating button, it won't float with the keyboard. It just gets covered up by the keyboard. Things return to normal only after I have completely closed the app and restarted.

Now I'm still newbie when it comes to Android development, so I'm not sure what more info I could/should provide. I'm using Android Xiaomi P30 pro for testing (if it makes any difference).

android settings

compileSdkVersion 29
buildToolsVersion "30.0.0"

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "ee.taltech.mobile.contacts"
    minSdkVersion 26
    targetSdkVersion 29
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
