I have the following layout influenced by accepted answer here

list.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/bg"
    android:orientation="vertical" >
    ....
    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" >
        <include
            android:id="@+id/footer"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
            layout="@layout/footer" />
        <ListView
            android:id="@+id/song_list_view"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_above="@id/footer"
            android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
            android:layoutAnimation="@anim/list_animation"
            android:listSelector="@drawable/bg_list_row_song" />
    </RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>

and footer.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/img_ad"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:src="@drawable/adv" />

</LinearLayout>

which produce this image

enter image description here

My problem is that I want the footer at the end of layout and fill_width and then maitain height to make the image fill real mobile screen width. I can do this by setting a certain list-height but don't want that to support longer screens.

Is there any way to calculate footer width first and maintain its height when its at bottom of layout, then assign remaining height to list? and how?

EDIT

Thanks for your answers, I've figured out best way to do this, I scaled my image to be wider than device screen, and I used 

<RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/footer"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:adjustViewBounds="true"
        android:src="@drawable/adv" />

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/song_list_view"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_above="@id/footer"
        android:layoutAnimation="@anim/list_animation"
        android:listSelector="@drawable/bg_list_row_song" />
</RelativeLayout>

1 - In footer xml, you souldn't match parent size, but wrap its contents.
2 - ListView height should match the remaining parent size.

So, it's just a matter of swapping these two height attributes and it will work perfectly.
