Try making the Button and the EditText height "match_parent" (or "fill_parent") instead of "wrap_content".
I've run into this before and I think the Button and EditText aren't quite the same initial height when using "wrap_content". When the keyboard pops up, it might be pushing the Button up to the top of your LinearLayout because the Button is just a slight bit smaller than the EditText.
