i have a problem using the standard android listview. if the text is to long to be displayed in one listview item i would like, that this item enlarges itself.
here is a screenshot of how it looks like now:

i’m using also another listview with a custom layout, there it’s no problem: the listview-item enlarges itself.
fyi: im using actionbarsherlock so i extend my activity from ‘SherlockListActivity’.
i hope one of you can help me… because of implementing a custom listview in this case is a huge overhead :/
thanks in advance!
// edit: it’s the standard “simple_list_item_single_choice”… actually i don’t want to customize it.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CheckedTextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@android:id/text1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeightSmall"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceListItemSmall"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:checkMark="?android:attr/listChoiceIndicatorSingle"
android:paddingLeft="?android:attr/listPreferredItemPaddingLeft"
android:paddingRight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemPaddingRight"
/>
here’s the code how i added it to my layout:
<ListView
android:id="@id/android:list"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1" />
// edit after implementing iturki’s answer:
it solves the problem for android 4.x but not on devices with android level 10.
