I want the entire activity to be scrollable but only listview is scrollable. How do I do that?

I pull data into my listview from servers. The listview is inside an activity. The activity has buttons above it.
When the data is received and when I scroll data, only listview is scrolled. The buttons remain fixed at the top.
I want the listview to take the required vertical height it needs so that I would need to scroll the activity instead of the listview.
My XML code :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<TextView
android:text="text1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/view_c_name"
android:textSize="18sp"
android:textStyle="bold"/>
<TextView
android:text="text4"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/view_c_name"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:id="#+id/view_c_motto" />
<TextView
android:text="text5"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/view_c_motto"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:id="#+id/view_c_details" />
<TextView
android:text="text2"

<TextView
android:text="text3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/view_c_act_text"
android:layout_below="#+id/view_c_address"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_marginTop="71dp" />
<Button
android:text="Button 1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="16dp"
android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
android:id="#+id/view_button"
android:layout_below="#+id/view_c_address"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true" />
<Button
android:text="button 2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/view_button"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/view_button"
android:layout_toEndOf="#+id/view_button"
android:layout_marginLeft="16dp"
android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
android:id="#+id/view_button2" />
<ListView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#+id/view_c_act_text"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:id="#+id/my_listview"
android:scrollbars="none"
/>
</RelativeLayout>

The perfect code should be;
<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<!--Inside the below layout your buttons will come. Modify it accordingly-->
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<!--Your buttons will come here-->
</LinearLayout>
<ListView
android:id="#+id/listView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>
As shown above, Nested Scroll View should be used instead of Scroll View because
there is a need of scrolling view (in this case List View) inside another scrolling view. The system is unable to decide which view to scroll and this is where Nested Scroll View comes in.

Wrap your existing layout in a ScrollView to scroll the entire thing, not just the ListView
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- your existing layout here, change your top container's height from match_parent to wrap_content -->
</ScrollView>

Try this one
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollViewMain"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/linearLayoutMain"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<Button
android:text="Button"
android:id="#+id/buttonMain"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent">
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
"your existing layout here, change your top container's height from match_parent or wrap_content "
the best case secanrio is to use scroll View inside of an relative layout and all the existing code inside of the scrollView

I had similar problem then I created a class
public class ListViewExpanded extends ListView {
public ListViewExpanded(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
setDividerHeight(0);
}
#Override
public void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(Integer.MAX_VALUE >> 2, MeasureSpec.AT_MOST));
}
}
then I used in xml as try it out it will help for sure
<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView 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"
>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text_goal_scored"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
<example.ListViewExpanded
android:id="#+id/list_home"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1">
</example.ListViewExpanded>
</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>

Go through this Example. Make ScroolView as Parent. It Work Form me.

Set ListView Height programmatically in Android

I have a ListView in my activity's Layout that exists in a ScrollView like that:
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:scrollbars="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="4dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
android:layout_marginTop="4dp"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="4dp">
<Button
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
android:padding="5dp"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:textColor="#color/white" />
<ProgressBar
style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:padding="5dp"
android:visibility="gone" />
<Button
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:background="#color/article_title"

android:padding="5dp"
android:text="#string/add_to_my_resources"
android:textAlignment="center"

android:textColor="#color/white" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/buttons_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:background="#color/white"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/article_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<Button
style="#style/Widget.AppCompat.Button.Borderless.Colored"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#color/article_title"
android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:textColor="#color/white" />
<Button
style="#style/Widget.AppCompat.Button.Borderless.Colored"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:textColor="#color/white" />
</LinearLayout>
<ListView
android:id="#+id/authors_listView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
</ListView>
<ExpandableListView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/white"
android:divider="#color/light_gray"
android:dividerHeight="0.5dp"
android:groupIndicator="#null"
android:scrollbars="none"
android:textAlignment="center">
</ExpandableListView>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
And I have a List Adapter names MyListAdapter that populate my listview:
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
ViewHolder holder;
LayoutInflater inflater = mcontex.getLayoutInflater();
if (convertView == null)
{
convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.my_list, null);
holder = new ViewHolder();
holder.txtViewName = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.textView1);
holder.txtViewAff = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.textView2);
convertView.setTag(holder);
}
else
{
holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
}
holder.txtViewName.setGravity(Gravity.LEFT);
holder.txtViewName.setText(name.get(position));
if (aff != null) {
holder.txtViewAff.setGravity(Gravity.LEFT);
holder.txtViewAff.setText(aff.get(position));
}
return convertView;
}
And my_list.xml is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:padding="20dp">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge">
</TextView>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/textView1">
</TextView>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
app:srcCompat="#drawable/ic_draw"/>
</RelativeLayout>
I want to set listview height dynamically to avoid scrolling list view inside the parent layout. So I use this method:
public static void setListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(ListView listView) {
AuthorsListAdapter listAdapter = (AuthorsListAdapter) listView.getAdapter();
if (listAdapter == null)
return;
int desiredWidth = View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(listView.getWidth(), View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
int totalHeight=0;
View view = null;
for (int i = 0; i < listAdapter.getCount(); i++)
{
view = listAdapter.getView(i, view, listView);
if (i == 0)
view.setLayoutParams(new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(desiredWidth,
LinearLayoutCompat.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
view.measure(desiredWidth, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
totalHeight += view.getMeasuredHeight();
}
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = listView.getLayoutParams();
params.height = totalHeight + ((listView.getDividerHeight()) * (listAdapter.getCount()));
listView.setLayoutParams(params);
listView.requestLayout();
}
This method works correctly in normal but when txtViewAff value is more than 2 or 3 lines, the last item of listview goes behind of the ExpandableListView. I add constant value like 40 to my totalHeight in method setListViewHeightBasedOnChildren:
totalHeight += view.getMeasuredHeight() + 40;
but it adds some blank space for normal items that were true without adding 40.
What can I do to resolve this problem?

List view displaying only one record when Android scroll view is used

I am new to android and I am displaying a ListView getting data from a webservice. Below listview there are some other views/controls on the activity.Now the issue I am getting is that when the webservice returns more than one record controls below the listview are getting hidden at the bottom of window for that I tried to use scrollView in my android activity but the issue I am getting after using scroll view is that only one record is getting displayed in the listview. So the problem is 2 way :
when I implement listview with other controls at the bottom of it I am not able to scroll when listview displays multiple records.
when I use scrollView with and put the listview and other controls inside scrollview , listview displays only one record.
My xml for this is like this:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

You shouldn't put a listview in scrollview if still you want to place then set the height of listview programatically with this method.
public static void setListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(ListView listView) {
ListAdapter listAdapter = listView.getAdapter();
if (listAdapter == null) {
// pre-condition
return;
}
int totalHeight = listView.getPaddingTop()
+ listView.getPaddingBottom();
for (int i = 0; i < listAdapter.getCount(); i++) {
View listItem = listAdapter.getView(i, null, listView);
if (listItem instanceof ViewGroup) {
listItem.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
}
listItem.measure(0, 0);
totalHeight += listItem.getMeasuredHeight();
}
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = listView.getLayoutParams();
params.height = totalHeight
+ (listView.getDividerHeight() * (listAdapter.getCount() - 1));
listView.setLayoutParams(params);
}

How to avoid ListView put rows with TextView transparent

I'm developing a Chat App, so I create a list of friends.
Take a look at my ListView declaration at layout.xml
<ListView
android:listSelector="#android:color/transparent"
android:id="#+id/usersList"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginLeft="2dp"
android:layout_marginRight="2dp"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:cacheColorHint="#android:color/transparent"
android:divider="#android:color/transparent"
android:dividerPadding="2dp"
android:overScrollFooter="#null"
android:scrollingCache="false"
android:transcriptMode="normal"
/>
And the behavior of this ListView is annoying.
When I run my app in a phone with Android 2.3 the TextView itens of my ListView becomes transparent just like the image below:
Sometimes when a press the itens the color of TextView back to normality.
When I run my app in a phone with Android 4.1 this problem not happens.
My user item xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

How to avoid this problem?

There is a chance that the TextViews are not showing at all. not the colour is changing. you can check that by setting a background for the textviews.
A few mistakes in the item xml I would like to point out:
You have two items in the horizontal layout. the linear layout that contains the image and the linear layout that contains textview. In this case you can't have them both match_parent. the total size would be screen size * 2.
when setting weight for a linear layout in a horizontal container you set the width to 0dp.
your weight sum is 1 + 0.5 = 1.5. means that the image will reserve 2/3 of screen size and textview 1/3. looks un-logical.
These un logical values could cause different layout display for different os version.

What solved my problem was android:background:

android:background="#android:color/white
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:orientation="vertical" >

android:textColor="#color/text_gray_light"
android:textSize="12sp" />
At my LinearLayout which has the TextViews at my user_item.xml(The layout of itens of the List). I put background color as White. Its strange because the main ViewGroup of this layout is already set with background color White. Now My itens appears normally.

Two listview inside scrollView

I have two listview. i need to scroll one listview as the continuation of another list view. In between the list there should be a text view. if i use the two listview and textview inside a scrollview icould not able to scroll both the list. if i use the listview without scrollview i can see the two listview but scrolling is not continues.

This is not correct design for starters but if you want to stick with the design one quick fix that will make your code work is to put both of your listViews inside one more list view and put that under scroll view. that should solve your problem of scrolling.

When placing ListView inside ScrollView I use the following method to set listView height and the scrolling works properly. Use this after you've added all views to your listview.
public static void setListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(ListView listView) {
ListAdapter listAdapter = listView.getAdapter();
if (listAdapter == null) {
// pre-condition
return;
}
int totalHeight = listView.getPaddingTop() + listView.getPaddingBottom();
for (int i = 0; i < listAdapter.getCount(); i++) {
View listItem = listAdapter.getView(i, null, listView);
if (listItem instanceof ViewGroup) {
listItem.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
}
listItem.measure(0, 0);
totalHeight += listItem.getMeasuredHeight();
}
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = listView.getLayoutParams();
params.height = totalHeight + (listView.getDividerHeight() * (listAdapter.getCount() - 1));
listView.setLayoutParams(params);
}
}
