How can I put a ListView into a ScrollView without it collapsing?

Question

I\'ve searched around for solutions to this problem, and the only answer I can find seems to be \"don\'t put a ListView into a ScrollView\". I have yet to see any real expl

Answer 1

Here is my version of the code that calculates total height of the list view. This one works for me:

   public static void setListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(ListView listView) {
    ListAdapter listAdapter = listView.getAdapter();
    if (listAdapter == null || listAdapter.getCount() < 2) {
        // pre-condition
        return;
    }

    int totalHeight = 0;
    int widthMeasureSpec = View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(BCTDApp.getDisplaySize().width, View.MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);
    int heightMeasureSpec = View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
    ViewGroup.LayoutParams lp = new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

    for (int i = 0; i < listAdapter.getCount(); i++) {
        View listItem = listAdapter.getView(i, null, listView);
        if (listItem instanceof ViewGroup) listItem.setLayoutParams(lp);
        listItem.measure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
        totalHeight += listItem.getMeasuredHeight();
    }

    totalHeight += listView.getPaddingTop() + listView.getPaddingBottom();
    totalHeight += (listView.getDividerHeight() * (listAdapter.getCount() - 1));
    ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = listView.getLayoutParams();
    params.height = totalHeight;
    listView.setLayoutParams(params);
    listView.requestLayout();
}
