    <p>I've custom list view layout. The items in list are going to be 5 or more. If more than say, 5-10 items are there in list, it looks good.</p> <p>But if there are say only 5 items, then blank space appears below list on devices larger in height. This does not look good.</p> <p>following is my list row layout -</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="#FFF" android:orientation="horizontal" android:padding="5dip" &gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/txt_update_title" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:focusable="false" android:paddingLeft="10sp" android:text="title" android:textColor="#b73a3e" android:textStyle="bold" android:typeface="normal" /&gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/txt_update_excerpt" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_below="@id/txt_update_title" android:layout_marginTop="1dip" android:focusable="false" android:paddingLeft="10sp" android:paddingRight="10dp" android:text="text" android:textColor="#343434" android:textSize="15dip" /&gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/txt_uid" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerVertical="true" android:layout_marginLeft="20dip" android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/txt_update_title" android:focusable="false" android:text="some" /&gt; &lt;ImageView android:id="@+id/arrow" android:layout_width="20dp" android:layout_height="20dp" android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/txt_uid" android:layout_alignRight="@+id/txt_update_excerpt" android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:scaleType="centerInside" android:paddingRight="5dp" android:src="@drawable/arrow" /&gt; &lt;/RelativeLayout&gt; </code></pre> <p>And listview -</p> <pre><code>&lt;LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" android:padding="10dp" &gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/tag_line" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/tagline" android:textColor="#fff" /&gt; &lt;ListView android:id="@+id/list_updates" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1" android:cacheColorHint="#0000" android:divider="#00000000" android:dividerHeight="0px" android:overScrollMode="never" &gt; &lt;/ListView&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; </code></pre> <p>What I desire is, if height of device is larger then I want list to take complete height by scaling height of each row in way that it should display all items w/o scroll. If items are more then scroll should appear. How can I set this up?</p> <hr> <p><strong>Update</strong></p> <p>I can opt-in for a solution where I'd check how many items are going to be there in list before and if they are less than 5-6, I'd choose a different layout consisting of LinearLayout or something that would fill up the blank space. But I can't figure out the structure I need to choose for such <code>LinearLayout</code>. Should I choose 5-6 LinearLayout below one another or a single with iteration? </p>

    1. COAre you meaning it doesn't retain the background color you've chosen and instead the remaining area of the list is the theme color?

    2. COInstead of background color, I prefer to fit those fewer items with device height filling whole height. If items are more then it should display normally.

    3. COYes, but you desire that because it doesn't look good. There's a solution that would allow the empty list area to have the same background as the rest of the view and therefore looking good. The issue I see with your idea is inconsistencies between uses. If I use the app with one item it's needlessly stretched, if I have 10 it looks like I would expect.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
