Android ListView set Number of items to show

Question

How can i set the number of items to show in a list without to scroll?

Example: I have a list with 10 items. I want that only 3 items appears and that I have to scroll to see the rest of the items.

Answer 1

just do:

list.remove(3);
list.remove(4);
...
list.remove(9);

in the constructor of the listview adapter.

Answer 2

I think the amount of Items shown in the Listview depends on the size that is available for the list. I would try a layout that limits the size of the list. It could be possible that such a detailed layout is not possible very easily, a different screen size could show more items etc.
