Question

Actually it’s not ListView but ExpandableListView but it doesn’t really matter. Normally I’d do it this way:

<ScrollView >

<LinearLayout>
    <ExpandableListView ... />
    <TextView ... />        
</LinearLayout>

</ScrollView>

..but I’ve read it’s consuming to have ListView inside ScrollView. I tried solving this by modifying ExpandListAdapter (getChildView()) :

public View getChildView(int groupPosition, int childPosition, boolean isLastChild, View view, ViewGroup parent) {
        if(isLastChild){
            LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
            view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.extra_info_bottom, null);

        }
        else{
                 //get normal item view
        }
        return view;
}

but this way I can only append childs to groups. How can I append LinearLayout on the bottom outside of any group?

Answer 1

Just add the following code to add the a linear layout at the last listview block.

View footerView = ((LayoutInflater)this.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE)).inflate(R.layout.listfooter, null, false);
                itemlist.addFooterView(footerView);

where the listfooter is the xml file where you can define your layout controlls.
