ListView inside a ScrollView issue in Android

Question

Here is my XML layout. I have a list view inside my scrollview. I am setting the height manually if I change the listview height to wrap_content it is not working. And also if the data grows beyond the limit it is hiding. I am seeing many answers to solve this. What is the best option to solve it for my case?

Answer 1

Instead using List View in ScrollView you can make separate layout where you can define your desired components. then you can make that layout haeder of the ListView. You can use following code:

LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(this);
View LTop = inflater.inflate(R.layout.header_tolistview, null);
listview.addHeaderView(LTop); 

Answer 2

Short answer: You can't (shouldn't) have a ListView wrapped in a ScrollView.

Long answer: As Romain Guy (UI-guru at Google themselves) once said:

Using a ListView to make it not scroll is extremely expensive and goes against the whole purpose of ListView. You should NOT do this. Just use a LinearLayout instead.
