Android listview item height fill_parent does not work

I have an android app with a mainactivity that contain a listview, this is the code of the main activity layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <ListView  android:id="@+id/commandList" 
               android:layout_width="fill_parent"
               android:layout_height="0dp"
               android:layout_weight="1"
              />

</LinearLayout>

in the listview I display a partial view, this is the code of view layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/commandText"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    />

</LinearLayout>

I wish that the elements would fill the height of mainactivitylayout but the result is this: result imageenter image description here

thank you regards

Waqas is right in above comment. (It totally kills the purpose of using ListView)

But still you want to implement this then in getView() of adapter try below code

convertView.getLayoutParams().height = parent.getHeight() / NO_OF_ITEMS;
convertView.requestLayout();
