Answer 1

The following xml will create a layout with two horizontal sections. The first section will have a vertical LinearLayout with the 5 TextViews and no scroll, while the second section will have a ListView to hold the objects.

Also note that ListView has it’s own Scroller, so you don’t need to add one yourself.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="horizontal" >
    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="40dp"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:background="#ffffff"
        android:orientation="vertical" >
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/tvA"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:textSize="13dp"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:textColor="#025f7c"
            android:text="A" />
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/tvB"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:textSize="13dp"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:textColor="#025f7c"
            android:text="B" />
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/tvC"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:textSize="13dp"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:textColor="#025f7c"
            android:text="C" />
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/tvD"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:textSize="13dp"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:textColor="#025f7c"
            android:text="D" /> 
    </LinearLayout>
    <ListView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            ...... // other ListView attributes
          >
    </ListView>


</LinearLayout>
