Question

I am developing an Android application using android sdk v 2.1. In one page i am merging different layouts like headers, footer , list views etc.
My code is something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" android:background="#FFFFFF">


    <com.myapp.LogoBarActivity
                android:id="@+id/logobarLayout" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"/>

    <include layout="@layout/header_2"/>    
    <include layout="@layout/header_3"/>

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

    <include layout="@layout/list_footer" />

</LinearLayout>

But the problem is that bottom buttons (layout=”@layout/list_footer”) are not displaying when listview crossing the screen. I want to scroll listview between
layout=”@layout/header_3″ and layout=”@layout/list_footer” and all layout should be fixed on screen. Please guide me.

You should use the RelativeLayout to get what you want . Your XML Code will be something like this :

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:background="#FFFFFF">


    <com.myapp.LogoBarActivity android:layout_alignParentTop="true"  
                android:id="@+id/logoBar"
                android:id="@+id/logobarLayout" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"/>

    <include layout="@layout/header_2" android:id="@+id/header2"  android:layout_below="@+id/logoBar"/>    
    <include layout="@layout/header_3" android:id="@+id/header3"  android:layout_below="@+id/header2"/>

    <ListView android:id="@android:id/list" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_above="@+id/footer"
              android:layout_below="@+id/header3"/>

    <include layout="@layout/list_footer" 
          android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
          android:id="@+id/footer" />

</RelativeLayout>
