copied!<p>There is actually an easy solution to this problem using basic layouts implemented completely in the .xml layout file.</p> <p>First off, the Motorola blog suggestion is not acceptable because it requires building to API v2.3 in order to use '<code>android:overScrollFooter</code>' forcing either multiple builds or inaccessibility to the majority of Android devices.</p> <p>The suggestion to set the ListView's <code>android:layout_height="wrap_content"</code> does work in many cases and is very useful if there are no layout items below the ListView.</p> <p>The problem occurs when there are one or more View's above and one or more View's below the ListView. This requires setting both <code>android:layout_below</code> and <code>android:layout_above</code> for the ListView, which stretches the height of the ListView to the height of the available space which is bigger than the necessary '<code>wrap_content</code>'. When this happens, the "Bug" kicks in - the extra space at the bottom of the ListView is filled with the footer's default background color which is dark gray and not transparent.</p> <p><strong>Now for the simple solution</strong>.</p> <p>Place the ListView inside of a vertical LinearLayout or equivalent. Allow the LinearLayout to span from top to bottom of the available space with <code>height="fill_parent"</code>, the extra will be filled with the correct background drawable or color. Set the height of the ListView to <code>"wrap_content"</code> so there is no unused space for the unsightly gray footer background.</p> <p>Here is an example:</p> <pre><code><Button> android:id=@+id/MyTopButton" ... </Button> <Button> android:id=@+id/MyBottomButton" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" ... </Button> <LinearLayout android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_below="@+id/MyTopButton" android:layout_above="@+id/MyBottomButton" >  <ListView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/MyList" android:cacheColorHint="#00000000" /> </LinearLayout> </code></pre>
