How to set the max height of a list view

I have 3 vertical parts on the screen:
Some texts
Listview
Some more text fields
I don't understand why when there are more elements in the listview, it takes the whole screen to the bottom without leaving place for the 3rd part and makes this 3rd part unreachable and not visible.

I am sure you can find a solution only using the constraint layout and removing your linear layouts altogether but I don't know enough about ConstraintLayout to help you there. However you can give weights to the elements inside your Outermost LinearLayout. e.g. assign android:weightSum="3" to your outermost LinearLayout and then android:layout_weight="1" to the inner elements (in your case the other LinearLayouts)

Screen is not moving above the keyboard while entering text in fragment

I have already with adjustresize and adjustpan also but nothing worked for me here.

When I used AdjustPan nothing happened but when I tried with AdjustResize the screen is scrollable and I can move it manually but what I need is to move screen automatically when keyboard open and yes it is happening in fragment. Please help me .

Android: Center two elements in a Linear Layout

I want that both elements are centered and without that stretching.
Also, it would be great if the weight was not that wide.
This is how it looks like:
Heres the code:
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#color/listColor"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="vertical"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/layout_item_value"
android:text="163,00"
android:textSize="18.2dp"
android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
android:id="#+id/txtListValue"
android:textColor="#color/back"
/>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/image_order"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:scaleX="0.4"
android:scaleY="0.4"
android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
/>
Thank You in advance!

Its very simple, you can maintain it with the parent layout itself
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#ffffff"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:gravity="center">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtListValue"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#FF1493"
android:text="163,00"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:textSize="30sp" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/image_order"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#mipmap/ic_launcher" />
</LinearLayout>

try this layout:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#ffffff"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:weightSum="2">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtListValue"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#FF1493"
android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
android:text="163,00"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:textSize="30sp" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/image_order"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
android:scaleX="0.4"
android:scaleY="0.4"
android:src="#mipmap/ic_launcher" />
</LinearLayout>
Output:

You can use below API without weightsum...
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"

Your problem can be solved using an relative layout that wraps the view where you want the LoadingView to be on top of, ex:
<RelativeLayout>
<com.github.jlmd.animatedcircleloadingview.AnimatedCircleLoadingView
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/circle_loading_view"
android:layout_width="250dp"
android:layout_height="250dp"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
app:mainColor="#color/primaryColor"
app:secondaryColor="#color/primaryColorDark"
/>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#id/circle_loading_view">
//the view on top of witch the loading bar should be
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

Android map with custom layout

I' am trying to achieve sth like this:
But the ListView is overlaps my bottom bar. What is the best way to prevent such a behaviour? As you can see in the picture there is a map under bottom bar. This bottom bar is like target/destination window in Google Maps app.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<com.google.android.gms.maps.MapView
android:id="#+id/map"
tools:layout="#layout/fragmentMap"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginLeft="2dp"
android:layout_marginRight="2dp"
android:layout_marginTop="2dp"
android:orientation="vertical">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/mapEditT"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="53dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:gravity="center|left"
android:paddingLeft="2dp"
android:paddingRight="0dp"/>
<ListView
android:id="#+id/listVi"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#android:color/white"/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"

android:src="#drawable/draweR"/>

<TextView
android:id="#+id/text3"

</FrameLayout>

Use LinearLayout or RelativeLayout as top most parent instead of FrameLayout.
Here is the code snippet using LinearLayout.
<?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" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center_vertical" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button" />
</LinearLayout>
<ListView
android:id="#+id/listView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" >
</ListView>
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/draweR"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="left|center_vertical"
android:src="#drawable/draweR"/>
<com.google.android.gms.maps.MapView
android:id="#+id/map"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:layout="#layout/fragmentMap" />
</FrameLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:weightSum="100" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="TextView"
android:layout_weight="75" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView3"
android:layout_width="0dp"

android:layout_weight="25" />
</LinearLayout>

You can mess around with the margins. I got it to look like the image you wanted.
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

android:id="#+id/map"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:layout="#layout/fragmentMap" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginLeft="2dp"
android:layout_marginRight="2dp"
android:layout_marginTop="2dp"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:paddingBottom="160dp" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/mapEditT"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="53dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:gravity="center|left"
android:paddingLeft="2dp"
android:paddingRight="0dp" />

android:id="#+id/listVi"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
