Stacking a listview on top of a textview Android

In my开发者_开发知识库 activity I need a ListView on top of my TextView. How can I achieve such a thing?

I just did this with an ImageView thanks to some help from folks on SO. I created from my own class inheriting from BaseAdapter and then overrode the getView method of that class. Basically, what you end up doing is shoving your own view, which in your case would be a TextView inside the ListView via the getView method.

You can reference my implementation here.

If what you need is to have a listview and a textview, Try giving android:layout_weight="1" and android:layout_height="0px" for the listview and place the textview below the listview inside the same layout

Something like this:

<RelativeLayout>
     <TextView android:id="@+id/text"
               android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
               android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
     <ListView android:layout_above="@id/text"
               android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
</RelativeLayout>
