How to configure ListView to automatically change its height?

Question

I have three ListView widgets in the same LinearLayout. Something like this (I\'m omitting XML elements that are not relevant in this example):

You can try iterating over the ListView's rows (see methods on ViewGroup), find their heights, sum them, and change your ListView height.

That being said, I fully expect this to be awful:

• You need to take into account the screen size, so your lists do not go past the bounds of the screen
• You need to take into account orientation changes
• You need to take into account any modifications to your data (e.g., deleting rows may require your list to shrink)
• Etc.

If your goal really is to have a single list, but you have three sources of data, merge the data and put it into a single list. My MergeAdapter can help here.
