Using Scrollview i cannot get the PROCEED button placed at bottom

I have an issue using scroll view below are the cases

**CASE 1**

when i don't use scrollview i get the layout like [ this][1] and this is the layout i need.
Problem with this approach is when the device resolution is low 412 x 732 or below i cant see the whole content of the layout for that reason **i need scrollview**

**CASE 2**

if i use scroll view i get the view like this [this][1] and [this][2] this which is perfect and what i need for 412 x 732 or below but the problem occur when i see the layout in higher resolution 1080x1920 i get [this][3]

what is need is in **CASE 2** for higher resolution device the PROCEED button should touch the bottom with bottomPadding=20dp just like **CASE 1** image

I Really appreciate if someone give me suggestion to acquire the layout that work for both the devices having high and low resolution

Why can't you use a constraint layout? The layout editor will tell you what to add to the XML to make it compatible with devices that can't use constraint layout.

I'm curious about "devices that can't use constraint layout" - would that mainly be older devices, from before when constraint layout became available? Or are there some newer devices that would have a problem?
