  1. POUsing a ListAdapter to fill a LinearLayout inside a ScrollView layout
    text
    copied!<p>I'm facing a very common problem: I layed out an activity and now it turns out it should display a few items within this <code>ScrollView</code>. The normal way to do that would be to use the existing <code>ListAdapter</code>, connect it to a <code>ListView</code> and <em>BOOM</em> I'd have my list of items.</p> <p><strong>BUT</strong> You should not place a nested <code>ListView</code> in a <code>ScrollView</code> as it screws up the scrolling - even Android Lint complains about it.</p> <p>So here's my question:</p> <p>How do I connect a <code>ListAdapter</code> to a <code>LinearLayout</code> or something similar?</p> <p>I know this solution won't scale for a lot of items but my lists is very short (&lt; 10 items) so reusage of views is not really needed. Performance wise I can live with placing all views directly into the <code>LinearLayout</code>.</p> <p>One solution I came up with would be to place my existing activity layout in the headerView section of the <code>ListView</code>. But this feels like abusing this mechanism so I'm looking for a cleaner solution.</p> <p>Ideas?</p> <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> In order to inspire the right direction I add a sample layout to show my problem:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/news_detail_layout" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" android:visibility="visible"&gt; &lt;ScrollView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:background="#FFF" &gt; &lt;LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" android:paddingLeft="@dimen/news_detail_layout_side_padding" android:paddingRight="@dimen/news_detail_layout_side_padding" android:paddingTop="@dimen/news_detail_layout_vertical_padding" android:paddingBottom="@dimen/news_detail_layout_vertical_padding" &gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/news_detail_date" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:text="LALALA" android:textSize="@dimen/news_detail_date_height" android:textColor="@color/font_black" /&gt; &lt;Gallery android:id="@+id/news_detail_image" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:paddingTop="5dip" android:paddingBottom="5dip" /&gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/news_detail_headline" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:text="Some awesome headline" android:textSize="@dimen/news_detail_headline_height" android:textColor="@color/font_black" android:paddingTop="@dimen/news_detail_headline_paddingTop" android:paddingBottom="@dimen/news_detail_headline_paddingBottom" /&gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/news_detail_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:text="Here comes a lot of text so the scrollview is really needed." android:textSize="@dimen/news_detail_content_height" android:textColor="@color/font_black" /&gt; &lt;!--- HERE I NEED THE LIST OF ITEMS PROVIDED BY THE EXISTING ADAPTER. They should be positioned at the end of the content, so making the scrollview smaller is not an option. ----&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; &lt;/ScrollView&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>UPDATE 2</strong> I changed the headline to make it easier to understand (got a downvote, doh!).</p>
