Question

Hey, I have a TabHost with two tabs, each with an Activity.

The first is an Activity that has a normal textView.
The second tab is a ListActivity with a ListView.

All this works fine.
However, I want to add another listview BELOW the TabHost.
So Basically I would have:
Tab Buttons
Tab Content (The Activity: Text or List)
ListView

My main.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <TabHost
        android:id="@android:id/tabhost"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent">
        <LinearLayout
            android:orientation="vertical"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:padding="5dp">
            <TabWidget
                android:id="@android:id/tabs"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
            <FrameLayout
                android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:padding="5dp" />
        </LinearLayout>
    </TabHost>
    <ListView android:id="@+id/footerlist"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</LinearLayout>

However, I’m really not sure how to set the data for the footer list.
An activity using a ListView needs to extend ListActivity…
But my main Activity extends TabActivity so I’m not sure how to fill in the list data since I can’t use ListAdapter without extending ListActivity.
Anyone know a solution?

Fixed.
I used a RelativeLayout instead of ListLayout

My final XML (if useful to anyone):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <TabHost
        android:id="@android:id/tabhost"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_above="@+id/footerlist"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true">
        <LinearLayout
            android:orientation="vertical"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent">
            <TabWidget
                android:id="@android:id/tabs"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
            <FrameLayout
                android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:paddingTop="5dp"
                android:paddingLeft="5dp"
                android:paddingRight="5dp" />
        </LinearLayout>
    </TabHost>
    <ListView android:id="@+id/footerlist"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</RelativeLayout>
