Footerview not displaying always when scrolling the listview

I have a listview with an adapter. I want to add a footer and that this footer will be displayed when scrolling the listview. Right now with this code the footerview is displayed when the listview is finished. In the onCreate method of the list i have:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_listado_imagenes_subidas_main);
// load list application
listImagenes = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.lvImages);
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
ViewGroup footer = (ViewGroup) inflater.inflate(R.layout.footer3buttons, listImagenes,
false);
listImagenes.addFooterView(footer, null, false);
// create new adapter
ImagenesAdapter adapter = new ImagenesAdapter(this, ListadoImagenes());
// set adapter to list view
listImagenes.setAdapter(adapter);
}
Could you please help me with this issue?
Thank you in advanced.

If i understood correctly what you wan't is a "sticky" footer the addFooterView method add a footer after the last view item, for a sticky footer you have to roll your own, or use an external library for it.

try with this one
View footerView = ((LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE)).inflate(R.layout.footer_layout, null, false);
list.addFooterView(footerView);

How can I add an ImageView as a ListView Header?

Can anyone help me to find out how to add an ImageView as a header to a ListView?
My code is here:
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View snapshot = inflater.inflate(R.layout.map_snapshot, null);
ListView channelsList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.channelsList);
channelsList.addHeaderView(snapshot);
By now it shows nothing.

Try inflating your header view passing the parent (ListView) as parameter:
ListView channelsList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.channelsList);
View snapshot = inflater.inflate(R.layout.map_snapshot, channelList, false);
Then, just add it to the ListView:
channelsList.addHeaderView(snapshot);

Try:
ListView channelsList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.channelsList);
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
ViewGroup header = (ViewGroup)inflater.inflate(R.layout.map_snapshot, channelsList , false);
channelsList .addHeaderView(header, null, false);

In layout map_snapshot,you must be having parent layout as here i have taken Linear Layout likewise take that.
ListView channelsList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.channelsList);
LinearLayout headerView = (LinearLayout) getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.map_snapshot, null);
listView.addHeaderView(headerView);
if you want to add views in layout:
TextView mUsername=(TextView) headerView.findViewById(R.id.user_name);

You can use CommonsWare MergeAdapter or SectionedListAdapter. With this library you can use any View as Header in your Listview. See this SO question and accepted answer for more information.

How to add a view as ListView header

I have a View extending google MapView. And a ListView with items. What I need is to put MyMapView as a header to the list view. Help please what to do
Update: When I try to do this:
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
ListView list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
View m = inflater.inflate(R.layout.map, list, false);
list.addHeaderView(m);
I got an error:
MapViews can only be created inside an instances of MapActivity
I think it's because I have removed my xml layout for map into different.xml from my activity

Try this
Create your ListViewHeader.xml first
and do this
ListView lv = getListView(); // Your listView
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
ViewGroup header = (ViewGroup)inflater.inflate(R.layout.YourHeader, lv, false);
lv.addHeaderView(header, null, false);
take a look on Android: Adding static header to the top of a ListActivity

Try to call
ListView.addHeaderView (View v)
before you set adapter to this ListView

if you are using a custom adapter, in getView() method provide different view at position 0.
if(position==0)
{
//Provide header view
}
else
{
//provide normal row
}

You can do the following to add a view as ListView header in android.
ListView list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
ViewGroup viewGroup= (ViewGroup)inflater.inflate(R.layout.YourLayoutFile,list, false);
list.addHeaderView(viewGroup, null, false);

Using ListView : How to add a header view?

I looke at the ListView API
and I saw the method:
addHeaderView(View v)
What I want to do is to have a layout above the list, is this possible ?
I tried doing something like :
EditText et=new EditText(this);
et.setLayoutParams(new Gallery.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
et.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);
addHeaderView(et); //makes app crash
I also tried
setContentView(R.layout.tryview);
but it also make the app crash.
Help is very much appreciated!
Edit : The code for this class is:
public class GroupsActivity extends ListActivity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
String your_array_contents[] = {"a","ab","c"};
setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.groups_layout, your_array_contents));
EditText et=new EditText(this);
et.setLayoutParams(new Gallery.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
et.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);
ListView lv = getListView();
lv.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
lv.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE);
lv.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(GroupsActivity.this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice, your_array_contents));
lv.addHeaderView(et); //makes app crash
lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int position, long id) {
// When clicked, show a toast with the TextView text
// Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), ((TextView) view).getText(),
//Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}
}

You can add as many headers as you like by calling addHeaderView() multiple times. You have to do it before setting the adapter to the list view.
And yes you can add header something like this way:
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
ViewGroup header = (ViewGroup)inflater.inflate(R.layout.header, myListView, false);
myListView.addHeaderView(header, null, false);

You simply can't use View as a Header of ListView.
Because the view which is being passed in has to be inflated.
Look at my answer at Android ListView addHeaderView() nullPointerException for predefined Views for more info.
EDIT:
Look at this tutorial Android ListView and ListActivity - Tutorial .
EDIT 2: This link is broken Android ListActivity with a header or footer

I found out that inflating the header view as:
inflater.inflate(R.layout.listheader, container, false);
being container the Fragment's ViewGroup, inflates the headerview with a LayoutParam that extends from FragmentLayout but ListView expect it to be a AbsListView.LayoutParams instead.
So, my problem was solved solved by inflating the header view passing the list as container:
ListView list = fragmentview.findViewById(R.id.listview);
View headerView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.listheader, list, false);
then
list.addHeaderView(headerView, null, false);
Kinda late answer but I hope this can help someone

How to add footer view dynamically

I have created a ListView and added header with addHeaderView, then I called setListAdapter in my ListActivity. Any idea how can I dynamically addFooterView after I called setListAdapter?
ANSWER:
I added both header view and footer view (actually buttons) into my list view,
but both of them I wrapped into a FrameLayout using wrap_content height, then when I do not need to be the header button to be shown I just setVisibility(View.GONE) and FrameLayout wraps to 0 height and vissualy it is not visible (same effect as if I would call removeHeaderView), and if I need to show it again I setVisibilty(View.VISIBLE) and it is shown (same effect as addHeaderView - which is of course not possible after calling setting list adapter)
Discussed here:
Hide footer view in ListView?

View header = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.header, null);
View footer = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.footer, null);
ListView listView = getListView();
listView.addHeaderView(header);
listView.addFooterView(footer);
setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_single_choice,
android.R.id.text1, names));

You Have to do like this
View header = (View)getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.header,null);
SimpleAdapter myAdapter=new SimpleAdapter(this,myList,R.layout.transactionvalues,
new String[] {"transaction_date_time","user_name","site_name","machine_name"},new int[] {R.id.Date_Time,R.id.User,R.id.Site,R.id.Machine});
if(header == null){
lst.removeHeaderView(header);
}else
{
lst.addHeaderView(header,null,false);
}
lst.setAdapter(myAdapter);
