Setting ListView heights with 2 ListViews in 1 LinearLayout

Here is my xml file for my layout:

<com.handmark.pulltorefresh.library.PullToRefreshScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/pull_to_refresh_scrollview_feat"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical" >

        <ListView
            android:id="@+id/listViewFriends"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="1100dp" >
        </ListView>

        <ListView
            android:id="@+id/listViewTrending"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="1100dp" >
        </ListView>
    </LinearLayout>

</com.handmark.pulltorefresh.library.PullToRefreshScrollView>

For some reason, the only way to show both ListViews is by setting height in actual dp's. I can't use wrap_content or layout_weights.

Is this a limitation of using multiple ListViews? Or am I doing it wrong?

I simply scrapped this idea and used a MergeAdapter and got what I was looking for.

I have not tried this, but could you set layout_height=0dp and layout_weight=1 to your ListViews and see what happens?

Hope it helps.

I assume PullToRefreshScrollView is some sort of ScrollView. You should not use a ListView inside a ScrollView; they just do not play well together. Not only must you must set an explicit layout height for the list(s), but the two views will get in each other's way in dealing with touch events.

If you promote the LinearLayout to the top of the container hierarchy, you can set the following attributes for each ListView:

. . .
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
. . .

They should then take up the same vertical space.
