Listview - Footer at the bottom of screen

Question

I have a ListView with a footer added with listview.addFooterView(footerView);

All works as expected excepted in one case: when my listview\'s items doe

In addition to @codeMagic response, you could add a listener to check when your adapter gets updated and then update the footer

registerDataSetObserver(new DataSetObserver() {
            @Override
            public void onChanged() {
                super.onChanged();
                updateSmartFooter();
            }
        });

where updateSmartFooter is the function he described

 private void updateSmartFooter {
     listView.post(new Runnable()
     {       
         public void run()
        {
            int numItemsVisible = listView.getLastVisiblePosition() - 
            listView.getFirstVisiblePosition();
            if (itemsAdapter.getCount() - 1 > numItemsVisible)
            {   
                 // set your footer on the ListView
            }
            else
            {
                 footerView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            }
         }
      }
}
