Listview not scrolling totally android

Question

I have a ListView that is not scrolling for complete. I inserted 20 items, but the listview is scrolling until the item 15º.

My Layout XML code here :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:weightSum="1" >

    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_weight="0.6"
        android:background="@color/sky" >

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/tvQuote"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_centerInParent="true"
            android:layout_marginLeft="6dp"
            android:layout_marginRight="6dp"
            android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
            android:scrollbars="none"
            android:text="@string/QuoteTeste"
            android:textAlignment="center"
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
            android:textColor="@color/white"
            android:textSize="14pt" />

        <Space
            android:id="@+id/espaco"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="30dp" >
        </Space>

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/tvAutor"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignRight="@+id/tvQuote"
            android:layout_below="@+id/tvQuote"
            android:layout_marginTop="22dp"
            android:text="(Carlos Drummond)"
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
            android:textColor="@color/white" />
    </RelativeLayout>

    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

        <ListView
            android:id="@+id/checklistview"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_alignParentTop="true" >
        </ListView>

    </RelativeLayout>

</LinearLayout>

Here a screenshot:

I don't understand WHY this is happening. For example, If I put 6 items, the 6º item is not show and I can't scroll the listview. Missing something?

Answer 1

You should not add multiple enties below each other using android:layout_height="fill_parent" or "match_parent" (which is the same) in the same layout as you do in the LinearLayout.

Make it another RelativeLayout with using layout_below, layout_parentOnBottom and other options or place everything into one huge relative layout.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:weightSum="1" >

<RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+id/toppart"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@color/sky" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/tvQuote"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:layout_marginLeft="6dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="6dp"
        android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
        android:scrollbars="none"
        android:text="@string/QuoteTeste"
        android:textAlignment="center"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
        android:textColor="@color/white"
        android:textSize="14pt" />

    <Space
        android:id="@+id/espaco"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="30dp" >
    </Space>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/tvAutor"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignRight="@+id/tvQuote"
        android:layout_below="@+id/tvQuote"
        android:layout_marginTop="22dp"
        android:text="(Carlos Drummond)"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
        android:textColor="@color/white" />
</RelativeLayout>

<RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+id/bottompart"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_below="@+id/toppart"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/checklistview"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true" >
    </ListView>

</RelativeLayout>

The problem is in your layout xml

change it with this one:

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

    <RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/topPart"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@color/sky" >

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/tvQuote"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_centerInParent="true"
            android:layout_marginLeft="6dp"
            android:layout_marginRight="6dp"
            android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
            android:scrollbars="none"
            android:text="@string/QuoteTeste"
            android:textAlignment="center"
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
            android:textColor="@color/white"
            android:textSize="14pt" />

        <Space
            android:id="@+id/espaco"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="30dp" >
        </Space>

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/tvAutor"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignRight="@+id/tvQuote"
            android:layout_below="@+id/tvQuote"
            android:layout_marginTop="22dp"
            android:text="(Carlos Drummond)"
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
            android:textColor="@color/white" />
    </RelativeLayout>

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/checklistview"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_below="@+id/topPart" >
    </ListView>


</RelativeLayout>
