Android GridView add FooterView

I have a GridView and I need to add a footer view to. I know this is possible to be do with a ListView using code like this:
LinearLayout layoutFooter = (LinearLayout) getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.footerview, null);
final ListView listView = getListView();
listView.addFooterView(layoutFooter);
But how do I do the same with GridViews? This approach doesn't seem to be working for GridView. Any idea? Cheers.

use relative layout as a parent layout and set your footer ,center and header postion and put your grid view in center position and desired footerview at footer position.

Here's a good soluction to do this.

Append new item to LinearLayout programmatically?

I'm trying to create something like editable UITableView on iPhone.
I added a button to add new items at the end of the list which would be the equivalent of the "+" button on iphone, this takes user to a list of items to add. My problem is that when they select one I don't know how to add it to the list.
<LinearLayout
android:key="application_preferences"
android:title="Applications">
</LinearLayout>
How can I append a view inside the LinearLayout programatically?

You can use addView to add a child view to a ViewGroup, but also consider just using ListView instead of a LinearLayout.

Your question is not very clear but if you try to add a view to the linear layout programmatically just use Layout Inflater
LayoutInflater localLayoutInflater =(LayoutInflater)getBaseContext().getSystemService("layout_inflater");
View myView = localLayoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_layout, null);
final LinearLayout ll=(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.linearlayoutID);
ll.addView(myView);

Scrollable Layout with a list embedded

I'm trying to create a scrollable layout with an embedded list, similar to the Spotify application for Android one shown here (One image at the top followed by a list and the whole layout scrolls). I'm aware that the Android developer guidelines state that you shouldn't put a ListView inside of a ScrollView layout so I'm wondering how this is accomplished. Do I need to make each list item manually using layouts and TextViews?

Yes as the List view has default scroll able functionality . If you place a listview inside the scroll view . The list scroll will hamper.
To Avoid such thing , list view has the concepts of header and footer views.
You can add n number of header and footers to the list.
Below is a sample code snippet how to add header/footer by inflating any xml layout to it
LayoutInflater inflater = activity.getLayoutInflater();
LinearLayout listFooterView = (LinearLayout)inflater.inflate(
R.layout.footer_layout, null);
list.addFooterView(listFooterView);
LinearLayout listHeaderView = (LinearLayout)inflater.inflate(
R.layout.header_layout, null);
list.addHeaderView(listHeaderView);

How to show image in first row of Android ListView when loading ListView?

There is a ListView and list_row xml which includes LinearLayout with background image.The requirement is to show the image in first row of ListView when loading data.And subsequently show and hide the image when tap on the rows of ListView.
ViewGroup vg = (ViewGroup) ListView.getAdapter().getView(0, null, null);
TableRow selectedRow = (TableRow) vg.getChildAt(0);
LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout) selectedRow.getChildAt(0);
ll.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
I used the above source code and try to do it.But this is not working and does not return any null objects.Show and hide part is working on using ItemClickListner.But I need to show the image when loading data.
I try to do it in Adapter class and I was able to show the image.But I couldn't hide it when tap on other rows of ListView.How can I fix this problem?
Thanks in Advance.

For this, I would suggest you to use ListView.addHeaderView(v) method. It will allow you to add a view as header of ListView (which will always be on top of other list items). Afterwards, when you've implemented ItemClickListner, simply call ListView.removeHeaderView(v) to remove that header view from list.

Android listview with header and footer buttons

folks!
I need to make such layout: I've got listview and I need to put buttons on top and on the bottom of it, i.e. when user scrolls list to the end, he can see bottom button, and when user is on the top of list, he can see top button. But when user is 'in the middle' of listview, he can't see those buttons. I've got no idea how to do it. Thanks for help.
UPDATE
listView=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.listSearchResults);
LayoutInflater inflater=this.getLayoutInflater();
View header=inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_header, null);
btnBack=(Button)header.findViewById(R.id.btnBack);
btnBack.setOnClickListener(this);
btnBack.setEnabled(false);
listView.addHeaderView(header);
View footer=inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_footer, null);
btnForward=(Button)footer.findViewById(R.id.btnForward);
btnForward.setOnClickListener(this);
btnForward.setEnabled(false);
listView.addFooterView(footer);

First create two layout file. like as footer_layout.xml & header_layout.xml and add footerview-headerview in list view
LayoutInflater inflater = activity.getLayoutInflater();
LinearLayout listFooterView = (LinearLayout)inflater.inflate(
R.layout.footer_layout, null);
list.addFooterView(listFooterView);
LinearLayout listHeaderView = (LinearLayout)inflater.inflate(
R.layout.header_layout, null);
list.addHeaderView(listHeaderView);

You can use addHeaderView() and addFooterView() on your ListView

Check here:
Android Dynamically load Listview at scroll end?
This is with the help of list's footer and header. Basically, you use addHeaderView()
/addFooterView (). Check all versions of the methods, since they allow you to have the view not being selectable.
