Question

I\'ve searched around for solutions to this problem, and the only answer I can find seems to be \"don\'t put a ListView into a ScrollView\". I have yet to see any real expl

Answer 1

We could not use two scrolling simulteniuosly.We will have get total length of ListView and expand listview with the total height .Then we can add ListView in ScrollView directly or using LinearLayout because ScrollView have directly one child . copy setListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(lv) method in your code and expand listview then you can use listview inside scrollview. \layout xml file

onCreate method in Activity class:

 import java.util.ArrayList;
  import android.app.Activity;
 import android.os.Bundle;
 import android.view.Menu;
 import android.view.View;
 import android.view.ViewGroup;
 import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
 import android.widget.ListAdapter;
  import android.widget.ListView;

   public class MainActivity extends Activity {

   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.listview_inside_scrollview);
    ListView list_first=(ListView) findViewById(R.id.first_listview);
    ListView list_second=(ListView) findViewById(R.id.secondList);
    ArrayList list=new ArrayList();
    for(int x=0;x<30;x++)
    {
        list.add("Item "+x);
    }

       ArrayAdapter adapter=new ArrayAdapter(getApplicationContext(), 
          android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,list);               
      list_first.setAdapter(adapter);

     setListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(list_first);

      list_second.setAdapter(adapter);

    setListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(list_second);
   }



   public static void setListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(ListView listView) {
    ListAdapter listAdapter = listView.getAdapter();
    if (listAdapter == null) {
        // pre-condition
        return;
    }

    int totalHeight = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < listAdapter.getCount(); i++) {
        View listItem = listAdapter.getView(i, null, listView);
        listItem.measure(0, 0);
        totalHeight += listItem.getMeasuredHeight();
    }

    ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = listView.getLayoutParams();
    params.height = totalHeight
            + (listView.getDividerHeight() * (listAdapter.getCount() - 1));
    listView.setLayoutParams(params);
      }
