Question

I have an activity that calls the

new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.notes_row, c, from, to);
setListAdapter(notes);

I would like to add a button to the notes_row.xml that displays at the bottom of the screen “on top of” the actual notes_row allowing the user to still scroll through the list but hit the button if they want. Every time I try to change the layout of notes_row, I get the button on each item in the list. I am pretty new to Android and I think I need to inflate the button somehow so that it is layered in front of the list but doesn’t impede the list, how do I go about doing that?

The R.layout.notes_row is the layout for each individual row. You will need to create a custom ListView.
