Question

The code below is for a ListView with a footer, the problem I am facing is that the lower entries in the ListView are getting overlapped by the footer.
So Could you suggest any solution (because I tried a lot and it each situation I am getting the same overlapping result) or some other way to do it. Thanks in advance. I have also posted the code of the footer just in case.

<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/homeParentLayout"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">


    <ListView android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:id="@+id/listV_main"
        android:listSelector="@android:color/transparent"/>

    <include android:id="@+id/footer" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        layout="@layout/mymenu" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">
    </include>

</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Code for mymenu.xml

<LinearLayout 
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" 
android:gravity="center" 
android:layout_gravity="bottom">

<TableLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <TableRow 
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:gravity="center_horizontal">
            <TextView
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:text=" "
                android:gravity="center"/>
            <ImageView 
                android:id="@+id/imgSetting" 
                android:src="@drawable/settings_gear_icon_256"
                android:layout_width="60dip"
                android:layout_height="60dip" 
                android:layout_marginLeft="10sp"
                android:clickable="true"/>

            <TextView
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:text=" "
                android:gravity="center"/>


            <TextView
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:text=" "

                android:layout_width="60dip"
                android:src="@drawable/login_lock_256" 
                android:clickable="true"
                android:layout_height="60dip" />

            <TextView
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:text=" "
                android:gravity="center"/>


            <TextView
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:text=" "
                android:gravity="center"/>
    </TableRow>
</TableLayout>
</LinearLayout>             

Answer 1

Use a relative layout like this:
Declare the relative layout, then declare the footer as the first element.
These properties are the important ones for the footer:

android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:id="@+id/footer_id"

Then declare your listView with this property:

android:layout_above="@id/footer_id"

And that should do it.
