Layout Weight In Linear Layout Android?

I am using two ListView in my Layout. and having fixed header and footer.But when i am running my code my header is getting breaked not coming full on my Device and my footer is no

Solution 1:

I can't tell if this is your only problem yet but when you use layout_weight inside of a vertical LinearLayout then your layout_height should be 0dp.

Likewise if it is inside of a horizontal LinearLayout then the layout_width should be 0dp. Also, all of the layouts should have a weight if you are using it on one of thenm.

android:layout_below= in your third LinearLayout, I believe, is not a property of LinearLayout. That is a property of RelativeLayout.

My suggestion for this type of setup is to use RelativeLayout as the root layout. Then, for your header LinearLayout you can use android:layout_alignParentTop="true" and for your footer use android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" then stick your ListView in the middle with android:layout_below="@id/idOfHeaderLL"

<RelativeLayout...><LinearLayoutandroid:id="@+id/headerLL"android:layout_alignParentTop="true"...><!-- add header veiws -->
    </LinearLayout
    <ListViewandroid:layout_below="@id/headerLL".../><LinearLayoutandroid:layout_alignParentBottom="true"...><!-- add footer views --></LinearLayout></RelativeLayout>

I'm not going to rewrite the whole layout but that should give you an idea. The "..." is where you will put in your other properties such as height, width, etc...
