Limit height of ListView on Android

Question

I want to show a button under a ListView. Problem is, if the ListView gets extended (items added...), the button is pushed out of the screen.

Answer 1

You can probably make this work using nested containers. It's possible that you might need to wrap the Button in a second (inner) container so that it takes up more space, and just align the Button to the top of the inner container.

Possible something like this:

RelativeLayout

-- ListView

-- RelativeLayout

---- Button

Using the different alignment options on the two containers, you should be able to get this to work.
