Why does my Listview show large spaces even it has little text?

In some ListView's holder I got empty spaces even it has a small text in it.
TextView is set to wrap_content. My listview layout xml item has several buttons. I just set these buttons VISIBILITY.GONE.

<?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">

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
        android:id="@+id/textView"
        android:gravity="center" />

    <Button
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="photo"
        android:id="@+id/photo"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" />

    <LinearLayout
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:baselineAligned="false"
        android:clickable="false"
        android:focusable="false">

        <Button
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:text="New Button"
            android:id="@+id/left" />

        <Button
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:text="New Button"
            android:id="@+id/right" />
    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:baselineAligned="false"
        android:clickable="false"
        android:focusable="false" >

        <EditText
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/editText"
            android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
            android:layout_weight="4"
            android:gravity="center_horizontal"
            android:hint="@string/answer"
            android:maxLength="4" />

        <Button
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:text="@string/ok"
            android:id="@+id/ok" />
    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

Instead of using "match_parent" in the top use "wrap_content" for height

Put the root as wrap_content instead of match_parent for the height.

What will happen in a vertically scrolling listview (read, infinite height available for children) if it's children say they want match_parent?

Can't see your image, but in a RecyclerView, each item's height would be the height of the RecyclerView.
