layout for ListView followed by non-scrolling TextView

thebusyant · by **thebusyant** » Thu Dec 03, 2009 6:28 pm

Hi,

I'm having trouble setting up an Android Layout.

What I would like is a scrollable ListView followed by a small bar of text (TextView) that doesn't scroll and always stays at the bottom of the screen.

it would look like this:

I've tried a bunch of different variations on this, but none shows the static text

Any thoughts as to where I'm going wrong?

TKS!

</LinearLayout>

Here is how I did it in my "GPW Notowania" application (see attachment).
Instead of the TextView I use Button but this does not matter:

The trick is to use -50px for Button's top margin.

what you want is footer.

here is an example. The long code is just for a form. so neglect that part and see how the footer was implemented.
