Button got overlapped by the ListView's Data

Question

I would like to know the possibilities to create a button after Listview without assiging any hardcore value to its height.

What happened is my button gets overlapped by the Listview when the no of rows exceeds say 14 or 15.For my layout mostly i'm using LinearLayout as i feel little comfortable with it.

Here i'm attaching my layout's xml snippet and the image.Please have a look and leave your comments and way to get rid of the above mentioned situation.

Thanks in advace guys.

Wrap everything in a vertical LinearLayout. Set the height of the HorizontalScrollView to 0dp and the weight to 1.
