Use a scroll view to enclose all the android xml file....the defining layout should be scrollable instead of linear layout....

there can be one possible solution for your problem..
As far i guess you just want to scroll whole screen that have a listview..
So, First create a different layout name like header_listview.xml
in that put your code apart of that listview in it..
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_marginBottom="50dip"
>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvheading"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:layout_marginTop="2dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="#string/title_AllSensorhead"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<View
style="#style/Divider"
android:layout_above="#+id/listView" />
<ProgressBar
android:id="#+id/progressBar"
style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleLarge"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:indeterminateDrawable="#drawable/progress"
android:visibility="gone" />
<com.github.mikephil.charting.charts.PieChart
android:id="#+id/chart"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:layout_gravity="center" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/colorPrimaryDark"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="8dp">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textSensorName"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_marginLeft="2dp"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:textColor="#color/black"
android:textSize="20dp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textSensorNo"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="2dp"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textSize="15dp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Now your listview layout can be simply like
<ListView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/listView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="1000dip"
android:layout_marginTop="5dip"
/>
In your java file when fatching the instance of list..
Add two line there
View headerView= LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.header_listview,null,false);
listView.addHeaderView(headerView;
You can get those TextViews & progressbar & chart from this headerview..like
TextView txt=(TextView) headerView.findViewById(R.id.tvheading);
from this approach the violation of scrollview with listivew wont be arrive,
Also you dont need to give 1000dip fix height to listview..
Please tell if need more assistance..
And appreciate if it helps ..

Showing ListView outside ScrollView android

I have a particular LinearLayout where I have multiple components. I have a ScrollView in which I have another LinearLayout with a ImageView, two TextViews and Buttons. I also have a ListView at the very bottom of the page which shows comments. The problem is I want the ListView to show completely without any scrolling. The ListView scrolls giving a bad design. If I place the ListView outside the ScrollView, it does not show.
Here is my code:-

Take scrollview and Listview inside a one parent LinearLayout and assign weight for both , this may help you..

As per sending code in your problem you have used scroll view height with match_parent. To resolve this you have to set fixed height in your xml file or in your java file by get reference of your scroll view

Align two imageView with textView XML in android

I have a problem with my xml for android.
I have this layout to use it in each line of a Listview (that works fine).
I want to put two lines (head and body) of text, and align Right of the first line I have to put two ImageView. (Also have first of all a hidden textView)
Something like this:
My problem is when I try to put both imageViews (with only one it shows fine, but with two don't show nothing).
this is my xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="12sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:visibility="gone" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >

sorry for my english and thank you in advance!

If I am understanding correctly then I believe this should be close to what you are looking for:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/TvIdGroup"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Test"
android:textSize="12sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:visibility="gone" />
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/TvName"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:text="Test"
android:textSize="30sp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/ImgNewConvGroup"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:gravity="right"
android:src="#drawable/new_messages" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/ImgNewGroup"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/ImgNewConvGroup"
android:gravity="right"
android:src="#drawable/new_group" />
</RelativeLayout>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/TvDescription"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Test"
android:textSize="22sp"
android:textStyle="normal" />
</LinearLayout>
Try it out and let me know if that works for you, I changed the inner layout from LinearLayout to RelativeLayout and created what I believe you are looking for in relational locations.
Note: Be cautious of your TextView extending far enough to go behind the ImageViews, if that happens then it might be better to (set for the ImageViews):
android:layout_below="#+id/TvName"
on both and remove:
android:layout_centerVertical="true"

<TextView
android:id="#+id/TvIdGroup"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="TV"
android:textSize="12sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:visibility="visible" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/TvName"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="TVName"
android:textSize="30sp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/ImgNewConvGroup"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:gravity="right"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/ImgNewGroup"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:gravity="right"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
</LinearLayout>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/TvDescription"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="TVDescription"
android:textSize="22sp"
android:textStyle="normal" />
Take a look if is what are you looking for.

Is a lot of code just will write the structure
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal">
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:gravity="right">
<ImageView/>
<ImageView/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

#MohitSharma Always remember
Never use a ListView in a ScrollView
for reasons check this:
ListView inside ScrollView is not scrolling on Android
What ever the requirement is you can do it by using just one of them(ListView or ScrollView).
So, for your case you can do either of the 2 things below:
Have only ListView in your Layout.xml and you can set that huge
layout as a FooterView to your ListView.
If you want to use a ScrollView, remove the ListView and dynamically
add those List Items as normal Layouts(Linear/RelativeLayout).
first approach is more recommended.

use layout_above property for listview.
android:layout_above="#+id/linear_layout"

Try this work for you i have checked it.
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:scrollbars="vertical"
>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:paddingBottom="5dp">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="63dp">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/menu_icon"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:src="#drawable/hs18_logo" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/setting_icon"
android:layout_width="30dp"
android:layout_height="30dp"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="17dp"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"
android:src="#drawable/menu" />
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/signin_icon"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/setting_icon"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:src="#drawable/signin"
android:visibility="invisible" />
</RelativeLayout>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/cart_checkout_title"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="35dp"
android:background="#color/gray"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="Shipping Address"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<ListView
android:id="#+id/shipping_addresses_listView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
</ListView>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
& if you Add Layout After Listview Give id to scrollview & add Layout in Scrollview this is perfectly work for you.

ListView with button at the bottom in Activity with fixed header and footer

I am developing an Android Application and I have an Activity that looks like this. I have a header and a footer that have fixed positions, and a ListView with clickable items in the middle. Below the ListView, I have a button.
It is working when I have a few items, but as I add more items, the button begins to disappear, like this.
When I have more items in that list that can be shown in the page, I have a scroll in the list. If I scroll down like this I can see all the items in the list, but the button is hidden.
I have had a lot of problems before trying to add a ListView inside a ScrollView, so I know it doesn't work. As I am new in Android development, perhaps my XML layout files are a bit confusing, but I have a parent LinearLayout with two RelativeLayouts inside, one for the header and one for the middle and footer. The XML is something like this:

Does anyone have any tips on how can I keep the footer fixed, scroll down until the end of the list and then show the button? I want that it looks like the button is the last item at the List.
EDIT: Entire XML posted

The ListView and the Button should be in a RelativeLayout and in the Button you should set android:layout_below="#id/listview"
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ListView
android:id="#+id/listview"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:cacheColorHint="#000000"
android:textColor="#000000" />
<Button
android:layout_below="#id/listview"
android:id="#+id/buttonCreateGroup"
android:layout_width="200dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"
android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
android:background="#layout/button_confirm"
android:text="#string/createOneGroup"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:textSize="22dp" />
</RelativeLayout>

Try it in the following manner:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<RelativeLayout //Header
android:layout_alignParentTop="true">
</RelativeLayout>
<ListView
android:layout_below="#+id/header" />
<RelativeLayout //Button(footer)
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_below="#+id/listView" >
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

The only way I could achieve the exact requirements I explained above was doing the following:
-In the XML file with the layout of the list items, I added a button with android:visibility="gone".
-In my custom ListView adapter, I always add an empty object in the last position. I simply add an object with a flag that shows it is the last in the list.
-In the method getView() that I override in the custom Adapter, I check if the object in the current position has the flag indicating that it is the last in the list. If so, I set the button visibility to VISIBLE, otherwise I fill the other components.
If anyone is facing the same problem and needs some sample code from my solution just ask here.

Try this:
