I’m populating an activity with a ListView that sometimes exceeds the window size vertically.

I’m populating an activity with a ListView that sometimes exceeds the window size vertically. Instead of the user being able to scroll the ListView, I want the ListView to just take up the space it needs and let the users scroll in the activity instead. Is this possible?

Here is an image for clarification: https://i.stack.imgur.com/lxA0Z.jpg

On both sides there is a ListView containing 8 elements, only the right one takes up the space it needs to show the list fully though, pushing the other views down and making the entire activity scrollable.

    You need to use the methods addHeaderView and addFooterView to add views before and after the ListView.

    To add several views, first put the views in a Layout or ViewGroup and add that ViewGroup as the header or footer view (ViewGroup is a subclass of View).
