Why do ListView items not grow to wrap their content?

Question

I have a rather complex ListView, with variable list item heights. Under certain conditions, I need to display an additional view in a list item, which is hidden by default

Answer 1

Things to note about column alignment:

• The container LinearLayout element uses horizontal orientation and android:layout_width as match_parent.
• The TextView elements use android:layout_width="0dp"
• Each of the two TextView elements uses android:layout_weight="1" so that they use equal amounts of the available width.
• The android:layout_width property of each TextView element is set to "0dp".
