How to add two listview in scrollview

Question

I am adding two list view in one scroll view, as my both listview(s) will contains data, but the problem I am facing is that when I add listview(S) in scroll view, it only shows one item of each list view.

Here is the image,

The XML code is :

<ScrollView
        android:id="@+id/scrollView"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_above="@+id/layoutFooter7"
        android:layout_below="@+id/linArrange" >

        <RelativeLayout
            android:id="@+id/linListViews"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content">

            <ListView
                android:id="@+id/lstviewUnBlockVenues"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:cacheColorHint="#00000000"
                android:divider="#00000000"
                android:dividerHeight="0dp"
                android:fadeScrollbars="false" >

            </ListView>

            <LinearLayout
                android:id="@+id/linearLayout1"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_below="@+id/lstviewUnBlockVenues"
                android:background="#ABCDEF"
                android:orientation="vertical" >

                <TextView
                    android:id="@+id/textView2"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:text="Blocked Venues"
                    android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
                    android:textColor="#061218" />
            </LinearLayout>



            <ListView
                android:id="@+id/lstviewBlockedVenues"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_below="@+id/linearLayout1"
                android:cacheColorHint="#00000000"
                android:divider="#00000000"
                android:dividerHeight="0dp"
                android:fadeScrollbars="false" >

            </ListView>
        </RelativeLayout>
    </ScrollView>

All I want is that scroll view should scroll down if the list view contains more items, as at this moment both list views are displaying one item only :(

Answer 1

Try using a LinearLayout and weight. Your problem is wrap_content won't make the ListViews fill 50% of the screen.

Something like this:

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/linListViews"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:weightSum="2"
        >

        <ListView
            android:id="@+id/lstviewUnBlockVenues"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:layout_weight: 1;
            android:cacheColorHint="#00000000"
            android:divider="#00000000"
            android:dividerHeight="0dp"
            android:fadeScrollbars="false" >

        </ListView>


        <ListView
            android:id="@+id/lstviewBlockedVenues"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:cacheColorHint="#00000000"
            android:divider="#00000000"
            android:dividerHeight="0dp"
            android:fadeScrollbars="false" >

        </ListView>
    </LinearLayout>

Answer 2

It's best you modify your UI.

Placing one scrolling widget in another in Android really creates lot of problems. There is a workaround but that makes scrolling a pain for the user.

I used "arnp" 's answer and made and example with 3 listView in scrollview. It works fine.

layout :

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <ScrollView
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="vertical" >

            <ListView
                android:id="@+id/list1"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

            <View
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="5dp"
                android:background="#ff0000" />

            <ListView
                android:id="@+id/list2"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

            <View
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="5dp"
                android:background="#ff0000" />

            <ListView
                android:id="@+id/list3"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

            <View
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="5dp"
                android:background="#ff0000" />
        </LinearLayout>
    </ScrollView>

</RelativeLayout>

            listView.setLayoutParams(params);
            listView.requestLayout();
        }
