    <TextView

        android:layout_marginLeft="79dp"
        android:text="Revision: 16"
        android:textColor="@drawable/darkgreen" />

</RelativeLayout>

some layouts below the ListView in the xml will disappear on the screen

and I tried to put the ListView and other layouts below the ListView into a scrollView

but the ListView will shrink, it looks too small, so i remove the ScrollView,

how should i do to let them appear on the screen without ScrollView?

Answer 1

You need to set Weight to your layouts like this way..

like you can set ListView Weight is= 0.80 and Bottom View is = 0.20 make sure parent Linear layout Weight sum is = 1.

You can see this is my xml file having List View (80% screen) and bottom Bar layout for Google Ads (almost 20% screen).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:weightSum="1">
    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/layVrt"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="0.72"
        android:weightSum="1">
        <ListView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:id="@+id/listViewGame"
            android:textFilterEnabled="true"
            android:layout_height="350dp"
            android:layout_weight="0.73"></ListView>
    </LinearLayout>
    <LinearLayout
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_weight="0.20"
        android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
        android:background="@drawable/rounded_corners_white"
        android:paddingLeft="3dp"
        android:paddingRight="3dp"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="3dp"
        android:id="@+id/layoutAdMobList">

    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

so this will be the output..
