I just had this issue now, and I solved it this way:

public void addBlankSpace(ListView listView)
{
    Space space = new Space(listView.getContext());

    listView.addFooterView(space);
}

And I guess there is always a better way. like checking if you even need it. and only then to display it. but for now, this simple code works just fine.

And here is the conversion function:

public static int dpToPx(int dp)
{
    return (int)(dp * Resources.getSystem().getDisplayMetrics().density);
}

Or we can just add some padding:

listView.setPadding(0, 0, 0, Core.dpToPx(50));
