I think from what i understand in your question it seems like you are looking for FrameLayout. So there is a list view and top of it is a button. Right? Try this.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout android:id="@+id/mainlayout" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

<ListView android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:padding="10dp" android:id="@+id/myListView"/>

<ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/imageButton1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/buttondrawable" />
</FrameLayout>
