how to scroll android button along with the listview content

i'm developing android app which requires listview with the bottom android button.. button need to scroll along with listview content, not fixed to end of the screen.
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ListView
android:id="#+id/requestlist"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#color/white"
android:visibility="visible"/>
<Button
android:text="Save"
style="#style/btn_white_large"
android:layout_width="120dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:id="#+id/btn" />
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

You can place this button in a different xml file and inflate that xml in a view.
And then try using listview.addFooter(view)
Also remove scroll view from this layout

Can u put LinearLayout inside a NestedScrollView instead of ScrollView? It will scroll together.

Scrolling two listview inside one LinearLayout

I am trying to scroll the listview inside one Linear Layout but it is not working as i want. I am attaching one image for the more explanation.
This is my Layout
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
android:id="#+id/card"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:clickable="false"
app:cardBackgroundColor="#android:color/white"
app:cardElevation="2dp"
app:cardPreventCornerOverlap="false"
app:cardUseCompatPadding="false">
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ListView
android:id="#+id/listView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<ListView
android:id="#+id/list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center|bottom"
android:orientation="vertical">
<Button
android:id="#+id/findSelected"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|center"
android:background="#drawable/flat_selector_green"
android:text="Next"
android:textColor="#android:color/white" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
Image explanation
I know it s not the good approach to use the listview but i have to do this with this way.

Just remove the ScrollView from your xml code, Because ListView have their own Scroll doesn't require ScrollView.Then code will work as you want. Second List will be shown after showing every item of first ListView.

According to android docmentation
You should never use a ScrollView with a ListView, because ListView takes care of its own vertical scrolling. Most importantly, doing this defeats all of the important optimizations in ListView for dealing with large lists, since it effectively forces the ListView to display its entire list of items to fill up the infinite container supplied by ScrollView.
First you user card view as top parent it seem you will use it as child of list view as I guess , if my guessing is correct this not wise to use two list view as child.
Second In any case you want use two listview in same view , its recommended to separate between them with view (TextView , ... etc).
the solution
1- remove scroll as it useless.
2- add weight to your list view as wrap content in your case mean whole view.
3- recommend add view to separate between list.
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_gravity="center"
android:clickable="false"
app:cardBackgroundColor="#android:color/white"

<!-- recommended to add view here -->

How to set ListView Height to auto?

I want to set the ListView height to auto means as per my items will add to listview then at that time height will also increase auto automatically.
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/abcd_scroll"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/profile_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="220dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:background="#drawable/blur_default_img">
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/profile_img_rt"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:background="#drawable/circle_white_bg">
<com.example.RoundedImageView.RoundedImageView
android:id="#+id/profile_img"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:src="#drawable/person_avatar" />
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
<ListView
android:id="#+id/tab_pending_list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_below="#+id/profile_layout">
</ListView>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
so this the xml please kindly go through it and suggest me solution that how to increase the height of the listview automatically.

The ListView is a scrollable view so you should never put it inside another scrollable view like a ScrollView.
The ListView will display only the row describe by the adapter behind it. So all you need to do is to just delete the ScrollView and keep the ListView with android:height=wrap_content

Android Layout XML: Divider below Listview

Because of the design of the app, I need to do the following:
(I reduced the problem as much as possible - and searched in other answers, but havent found my problem exactly)
As you can see in the picture, I have following components:
Listview
GreenDivider with a fixed size of 1dp
Button-Area
The Listview is on top, the button-area in the bottom and the divider between them. The Listview is variable in its size.
Following is the difficult part:
The divider has always be visible.
The divider has always to be above the button-area. If the listview does not use the entire available space, the divider has to be exactly below the listview. If the Listview uses more space than available, the divider has to be exactly above the button-area. And of course, the listview should be scrollable.
I tried a long time with relative layout and also with weight in linearlayout. If you got a solution, please share your idea with me.
The following is the part of the layout, but it actually does not work as expected:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ListView
android:id="#+id/notification_action_listview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/navigation_item_background_selector"
android:divider="#null"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"
android:orientation="vertical" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/divider_layout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp" >
<include
android:id="#+id/divider"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp"
layout="#layout/divider_horizontal_green" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/footer"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center|bottom"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/notification_action_remove_button"
style="#style/flat_button_red_rounded"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="#dimen/margin_big"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/margin_big"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/margin_big"
android:text="#string/delete_account" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Use a relative layout as your top level. set the footer to alignBottom, and the LinearLayout that contains the Listview and the separator to layout_above="#id/footer". I have edited your xml to solve your problem (I think its properly formed but SO isn't the best editor).
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_above="#id/footer">
<ListView
android:id="#+id/notification_action_listview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/navigation_item_background_selector"
android:divider="#null"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"
android:orientation="vertical" />
<include
android:id="#+id/divider"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp"
layout="#layout/divider_horizontal_green" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/footer"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignBottom="true"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/notification_action_remove_button"
style="#style/flat_button_red_rounded"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="#dimen/margin_big"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/margin_big"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/margin_big"
android:text="#string/delete_account" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

I would declare two dividers and give them each an id.
Then, programatically, I would check the size of the list view against the size of its container.
If the listview is bigger than the container I would make the divider parked above the buttons "visible" and the one below the listview "gone"
etc...
Truthfully, I'd probably just align it above the buttons and call it a day.

Scrollview inside Listview

I have a listview with mulitple rows, one of the rows must be a listview also with multiple rows, but only 2 of them need to be displayed, the rest displayed only on scrolling. i added a ScrollView with a LinearLayout inside the listview int he layout file and I'm adding the contents of the rows in the java file. The ScrollView doesn't seem to scroll well. Is there a better way of achieving this?
This is my layout file.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/listLayout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ListView
android:id="#android:id/list"
android:layout_width="1px"
android:layout_height="1px"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:cacheColorHint="#00000000"
android:scrollbars="vertical" >
</ListView>
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/listItem"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/formImage"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scaleType="fitXY" />
<include layout="#layout/vertical_list_item_title_area" />
</RelativeLayout>
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:fillViewport="true"
android:layout_weight="1">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/childListLayout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
<com.illumemobile.testapp.Classes.SCClasses.SCActivities.SCCustomActivities.SCCustomGallery
android:id="#+id/horizontallistview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:spacing="33dip" />

ScrollViews insides of ListViews are a VERY VERY bad idea. Not only is it confusing to the user, but the system has problems figuring out which View should get the touch events.
I would recommend rethinking about your layout.

I would recommend making a ScrollView, then inside the scroll view, making a LinearLayout. Inside that LinearLayout you could have more LinearLayouts one or more items as children. I think this would get close to what you're trying to do... I prefer using ScrollViews and LinearLayouts rather than trying to deal with ListViews. LinearLayouts are a lot more dynamic than ListViews in my experience.
-Hope this helps
