I learned from android dev tutorial and now I can make ListView. and it worked perfectly fine. Now my requirement is I want to show listview with a header and footer which I have made in xml file.
Basically on the top there will be a header & footer (a text view) and then follows listview scrollable between header and footer
Can someone forward me to the appropriate tutorial.
Here is the tutorial links:

You may need to add in your xml two TextViews
. One before your ListView
, the other one, right under the ListView
.
here comes a snippet for the ListView with header+footer;
<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/lay_listitems"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="@drawable/white"
>
<TextView android:id="@+id/listview_items_header"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="@dimen/text_size_large"
android:textStyle="normal"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:textColor="@drawable/titlecolor"
android:singleLine="true"
android:visibility="visible"
android:text=" --- HEADER ---"
/>
<ListView android:id="@+id/listview_items"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:drawSelectorOnTop="false"
android:smoothScrollbar="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:clickable="true"
android:dividerHeight="1dip"
android:divider="@drawable/ltgray"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:gravity="center"
/>
<TextView android:id="@+id/listview_items_footer"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="@dimen/text_size_large"
android:textStyle="italic"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:textColor="@drawable/normaltextcolor"
android:singleLine="true"
android:visibility="visible"
android:text=" --- FOOTER --- "
/>
</LinearLayout>
p.s. as an extra, custom colors can be added into colors.xml as below
<drawable name="titlecolor">#83a4cd</drawable>
<drawable name="normaltextcolor">#83a4cd</drawable>
<drawable name="gray">#585858</drawable>
<drawable name="ltgray">#BDBDBD</drawable>
<drawable name="extraltgray">#F2F2F2</drawable>
This may be late but hope this may help someone. :-)
