Question

I created one listview application then I decide to design header and footer for the listview my problem is my header and footer showing my listview in background. i wish to hide this header and footer listview items so help me how to hide?

code:

public class Settings extends Activity { 
    private SettingsAdapter setAdap;
    private SettingsInnerAdapter setInnerAdap;
    private ListView lstView;
    int top;
    private int mSelPosition = 0;
    private boolean innerListView = false;

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
        WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN); 

        setContentView(R.layout.testing);
        int width = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getWidth();
        int height = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getHeight();

        ImageView imgHead = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView1);

        ImageView imgbottom = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView2);


        imgbottom.setImageResource(R.drawable.back);
        imgbottom.setLayoutParams(new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(width/8, height/8));


        imgHead.setImageResource(R.drawable.b);
        imgHead.setLayoutParams(new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(width/8, height/8));

        setAdap = new SettingsAdapter(this.getApplicationContext());
        setAdap.updateImageSize(width, height);
        setAdap.setTextVisible(0);
       setAdap.setInnerViewVisible(false);


        lstView = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.lstLeft);
    lstView.setScreenDimension(width/16, height / 4 , width, height / 2);
        lstView.setAdapter(setAdap);
        lstView.setSelected(false);

      }

Answer 1

give id’s to your Header View Layout and to your Footer View Layout then set these properties for your both ListView's

<ListView
    android:id="@+id/lstRight"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_below="@+id/headerViewId"
    android:layout_above="@+id/footerViewId"
    android:cacheColorHint="#00000000" >
</ListView>
