TextView Under Growing ListView

Postby medicalfix » Sun Dec 28, 2008 10:16 pm

Hi, I currently I'm trying to display a TextView on the top and bottom of my screen and in the middle my ListView.

The problem is that when my ListView grows it pushes my bottom TextView out of the screen.
How can I overcome this?
Thanks!
here is current XML:

I have explained this numerous times, but just for this once, I'll repeat:
Use layout_gravity for this, read the docs for more info.

Thanks for your reply but I truly don't know what you mean... Do you have a feed link you can give me so that I can check how to do this?

Thanks

Check the docs for Layouts.

Oh and try to search the forums for layout_weight (this is the one you need) I have made a couple of posts about this. Maybe I'll make a tut one day... :).
