Question

Good day, I have an Activity which contains 4 fragments. The Activity has a footer which I use to switch between these fragment views. Now in one of my fragments, i have some widgets and the last widget is a ListView. The trouble am having is, the last 2 entries in the Listview are not displaying correctly! they are obscured by the footer. I have set my LayoutParameters for both the width and height of the Listview to FILL_PARENT. but its not working. Any idea how i can solve this? Thanks in advance.

My Layout is :

for the fragment:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
    <RelativeLayout  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent" 
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <Button android:id="@+id/line_button_id" android:layout_width="160dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_marginLeft="5dp" android:focusable="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="8dp" android:text="@string/line_graph" android:background="@drawable/temp_left_button" />

    <Button android:id="@+id/bar_button_id" android:layout_width="160dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignBaseline="@+id/line_button_id"
        android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/line_button_id" android:focusable="true"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
        android:text="@string/bar_graph" android:background="@drawable/temp_right_button"></Button>"

    <FrameLayout 
       android:id="@+id/graph_framelayout_id"
       android:layout_width="fill_parent"
       android:layout_height="280dp"
       android:layout_below="@id/line_button_id"
       android:padding="4dp"
       android:layout_margin="4dp"
       android:background="@drawable/rounded_date_filter">
    </FrameLayout>

        <!-- first cell information, dashboard -->
       <LinearLayout
             android:id="@+id/row1_id" 
             android:layout_width="fill_parent"
             android:layout_height="wrap_content"
             android:layout_margin="4dp"
             android:layout_below="@id/graph_framelayout_id"
             android:orientation="horizontal"
             android:clickable="true"
             android:background="@drawable/rounded_table_row">

            <TextView 
                   android:id="@+id/dashboard_datefrom_id"
                   android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                   android:layout_weight="1"
                   android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
                   android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
                   android:text="01 may 2012"/>

               <ImageView 
                   android:id="@+id/dashboard_image_id"
                   android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                   android:layout_weight="1"
                   android:src="@drawable/ic_action_search"/>

                  <TextView 
                   android:id="@+id/dashboard_dateto_id"
                   android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                   android:layout_weight="1"
                   android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
                   android:text="01 sept 2012"/>
       </LinearLayout>

       <!-- accounts overview listview -->
        <LinearLayout 
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_below="@id/row1_id"
            android:layout_margin="4dp"
            android:orientation="vertical"
            android:background="@drawable/rounded_date_filter">

             <TextView 
              android:id="@+id/list_text_header_id"
              android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:layout_height="wrap_content"
              android:padding="2dp"
              android:text="@string/data_grid_text_header_day"
              android:background="@drawable/text_header">
              </TextView>

             <ListView
              android:id="@android:id/list" 
              android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:layout_height="fill_parent">
             </ListView>

        </LinearLayout>
        </RelativeLayout>

and for the Activity i have this:

<

?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

 <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/fragment_container_id"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">
    </FrameLayout>

<include layout="@layout/footer"></include>"
</RelativeLayout>

i replace the fragments with in the framelayout of the Activity

What Layout are you using in your Fragment, this surely won’t happen if you use RelativeLayout and set above attribute to your ListView like this :

Try to add this into FrameLayout in your Activity layout.

android:layout_above="@+id/footer"
