Question

I am having listview in linear layout, where I need to programatically add button. I have tried several tutiorials and noone was sufficient enoughm, simply it wasn’t working. Do you know of some solution?

Edit: I just want to have one button added programatically and my listview (no button in listview). I am not able to add button in my activity programatically.

Edit:

<?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">
<TextView 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:id="@+id/uss"
/>   
<ListView 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:id="@+id/list"
    android:focusable="false"
    android:focusableInTouchMode="false"

/>

You’re going to need to implement a custom adapter. You’d add your button to the ListView’s rows within the getView() method. That’s going to look something like this:

public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

    View v;
    if (convertView == null)
        v = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.row, parent, false);
    else
        v = convertView;

    if(position == 0){
        Button button = new Button();
        v.add( button );    
    }

   return v;
} 

UPDATE: Per the asker’s answers to my questions in the coments, the above solution will put the button in the first column of the ListView.

If what you’re trying to do is position the button ABOVE the listview so that it does not scroll, then I would put another LinearLayout in your existing Layout that just contains the TextView (id-uss). That way you can add your button to the end of that LinearLayout.
