Keyboard obscures input text area

Question

I have a form that is displayed inside http://ionicframework.com/docs/api/service/$ionicPopup/. The issue is that when cursor is placed inside the final input (text area), the keyboard shows but the input doesn't scroll back into view and is obscured by the keyboard. The user has to scroll down.

I am using an android device.

The documentation says

Ionic will attempt to prevent the keyboard from obscuring inputs and focusable elements when it appears by scrolling them into view. In order for this to work, any focusable elements must be within a Scroll View or a directive such as Content that has a Scroll View.

If I wrapped the form with ion-content tag, the input box does scroll back into view but using messes up with my layout and am looking for another solution.

Update: How the manifest lookslike

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
