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:

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.
Solution:

What solved my problem was android:background:
<LinearLayout
android:background="#android:color/white
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:cacheColorHint="#android:color/transparent"
android:id="#+id/text_view_user"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="asdasdad"
android:textColor="#color/text_gray"
android:textSize="25sp" />
<TextView
android:cacheColorHint="#android:color/transparent"
android:id="#+id/text_view_user_last_activity"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="asdasdad"
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);
}
}

Set gravity in list item layout

I have a problem with setting gravity of a list item layout. I have a list layout which has 2 textviews. The first one has right gravity and second one has left gravity. When I load list view I always get right gravity.
Here is my code:
<?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:id="#+id/poem_verse_list_item_01"
style="#style/TextAppearanceMedium"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:gravity="right" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/poem_verse_list_item_02"
style="#style/TextAppearanceMedium"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="left"
android:gravity="left" />
</LinearLayout>
And here is my Cursor and its ViewBinder:
public class CustomViewBinder implements ViewBinder {
#Override
public boolean setViewValue(View view, Cursor cursor, int columnIndex) {
int getIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(ClubCP.COLUMN_POSITION);
int position = cursor.getInt(getIndex);
// Log.i("ViewBinder position",position);
TextView right =(TextView)view;
int viewId = view.getId();
switch(position){
case 0 :
// Right = 0,
if(viewId==R.id.poem_verse_list_item_02){
view.setVisibility(view.GONE);
}
else if(viewId==R.id.poem_verse_list_item_01){
view.setVisibility(view.VISIBLE);
}
//left.setVisibility(left.GONE);
//right.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT);
// text.setVisibility(text.GONE);
// return true;
case 1:
// Left = 1,
if(viewId==R.id.poem_verse_list_item_02){
view.setVisibility(view.GONE);
}
else if(viewId==R.id.poem_verse_list_item_01){
view.setVisibility(view.VISIBLE);
}
//left.setVisibility(left.GONE);
//right.setGravity(Gravity.LEFT);
// return true;
case 2:
case 3:
case 4:
case -1:
}
return false;
}
}
SimpleCursorAdapter adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.poem_verse_list_item, c,
columns, new int[] {R.id.poem_verse_list_item_01,R.id.poem_verse_list_item_02}, 0);
I tested a lot but each time I get only right or left gravity for both of them... I hope some one can help me. Thanks for your time.

Remove android:layout_gravity from both the TextViews since android:layout_width="match_parent"
OR
make android:layout_width="wrap_content" and remove android:gravity from both the TextViews.
ELSE
You may also try a RelativeLayout with TextViews having android:layout_width="wrap_content" and android:layout_alignParentLeft or android:layout_alignParentRight set to true accordingly.
Edit:
To debug the issue do the following. Create a ArrayAdapter with static data and set it as the list adapter.
String[] arr = {"a","b","c"};
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.poem_verse_list_item, R.id.poem_verse_list_item_01, arr);
setListAdapter(adapter);
}
Then set some value using android:text to the TextViews like this.
<TextView
android:id="#+id/poem_verse_list_item_01"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:gravity="right"
android:text="poem_verse_list_item_01" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/poem_verse_list_item_02"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="left"
android:gravity="left"
android:text="poem_verse_list_item_02"/>
So if the problem persists then the issue is not with the view binder. I would suggest you to redesign your main layout file containing the ListView.

Try change android:orientation="vertical"
to
android:orientation="horizontal"
Hope this helped you

Disable reloading items in listview upon removing view from its parent view group

I have a layout with a header panel and a listview.
Here is the layout.
<?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"
android:id="#+id/mainFragmentLayout">
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/header"
android:background="#drawable/upper_panel"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:layout_width="fill_parent">
<TextView android:id="#+id/news_label"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:gravity="left"
android:text="#string/news_label"
android:textSize="15sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:layout_marginLeft="54dp"
android:textColor="#color/white"
/>
<Button android:id="#+id/refreshButton"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:background="#drawable/btm_refresh"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
<ListView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="120"
android:id="#+id/feedMeMore"
android:fastScrollEnabled="false"
android:layout_gravity="center"/>
In onTouchListener I remove and add RelativeLayot header.
public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent motionEvent) {
int action=motionEvent.getAction();
switch (action) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
startY = motionEvent.getY();
break;
case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
float nowY = motionEvent.getY();
if (startY - nowY > 10)
{
if (mainLayout.indexOfChild(headerView) >= 0)
mainLayout.removeView(headerView);
}
else if (startY - nowY < - 100)
{
if (mainLayout.indexOfChild(headerView) < 0)
mainLayout.addView(headerView, 0);
}
}
break;
}
return false;
}
When the header is removed all showed items in the listview is reloaded.
I have there an image and text, that is loaded from web and every time it reload the text and the image.
How to turn off this reloading?

According to me that is because Your headerView is aligned at the top(even though on linearlayout) and list view is below it.
So when you remove your header view it make listview changes its height, so all the views are redrawn.
As a solution you can use a dummy view behind the headerview(Need to change the parent view as RelativeLayout) whose height is as same as your original header view, and now your list view will be below that dummy header view and not the original header view.
Something like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/mainFragmentLayout">
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/header"
android:background="#drawable/upper_panel"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_width="fill_parent">
<TextView android:id="#+id/news_label"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:gravity="left"
android:text="#string/news_label"
android:textSize="15sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:layout_marginLeft="54dp"
android:textColor="#color/white"
/>
<Button android:id="#+id/refreshButton"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:background="#drawable/btm_refresh"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/dummyHeader"
android:background="#drawable/upper_panel"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"/>
<ListView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="120"
