I am facing a problem with android 5.0 and above. Whenever I align any view to parent bottom, Content is getting hidden behind the soft navigation button.
Above attached is the screenshot of the screen generated after creating new project from Android Studio 1.5. I just added an edit text at the bottom of the fragment.
as you can see, half of the edit text is behind the navigation bar.
Though codes are auto generated by Android Studio, I am still posting the codes below.

P.S. If removing or replacing the drawable is part of your solution, then I have already tried it. And I couldnt find any proper solution in Android guidelines too.
