i think what you need to implement here is some sort of modification of the SeparatedListAdapter from Jeff Sharkey from this Article. In this article he not only manages to add two Adapters to a ListView but also explains how to have Headers to separate them if you want (you can remove that part of the code).

So what i mean, is your first Adapter will be the data with It's rows, and the second Adapter will be a dummy one with no data that just points to a View with your controls or whatever.

this way the ListView and what you want to add at the bottom are gonna be all scrollable.

Hope this helps.
