Relativelayout Content Can Not Be Seen

Like the following layout shows, when the items in list are too much, more than one screen. I can not see the following LinearLayout content when I drag down. How to solve this p

Solution 1:

change to this

<RelativeLayoutxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="match_parent" ><ListViewandroid:id="@+id/list"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="100dp" ><!-- use a definate dimension here --></ListView><LinearLayoutandroid:id="@+id/linearLayout1"android:layout_width="wrap_content"android:layout_height="100dp"android:layout_below="@+id/list"android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"android:orientation="horizontal" ><TextViewandroid:id="@+id/UserIDStatic"android:layout_width="wrap_content"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:text="@string/UserID" />
        .
        .
        .
    </LinearLayout></RelativeLayout>

or else put both ListView and LinearLayout in ScrollView

or as bellow comment

<LinearLayoutxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="match_parent"android:weightSum="1"android:orientatio="verticle" ><ListViewandroid:id="@+id/list"android:layout_weight="0.5"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="0dp" ></ListView><LinearLayoutandroid:id="@+id/linearLayout1"android:layout_width="wrap_content"android:layout_height="0dp"android:layout_weight="0.5"android:orientation="horizontal" ><TextViewandroid:id="@+id/UserIDStatic"android:layout_width="wrap_content"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:text="@string/UserID" />
            .
            .
            .
        </LinearLayout></LinearLayout>

Solution 2:

There are two options comes in picture.

1. Instead of Relative layout Use Vertical Linear layout with appropriate wieght to listview and inner linear layout (eg. 0.7 and 0.3)
2. Use same Relative layout as above with inner LinearLayout to alignparentbottom = true and listview above="@innerLinearLayout" linearlayout.

This might solve your problem. Using specific height for listview might cause different look in UI for different sized screens.
