I am trying to figure out how to setup a layout like this:
Basically I want to achieve that as the user scrolls he scrolls over whole layout not only in listview, which should consist of comments. As far as I know including ListView inside ScrollView is not recommended. Also maybe in future I would like to include MapView or MapFragment between ListView and some text. So how can I achieve this kind of layout ?
According to Guy Romain (one of Android's key developers), the answer is to use a LinearLayout instead of a Listview. You can see his reasoning here.
You can add only a ListView, and put the "title" and "some text" in a Header. Here is how you can implement it: For the header, you should create a layout: for example called header:`
<TextView
android:id="@+id/title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="title"
/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/some_text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="some text"
/>
</LinearLayout>
`
and in your activity you should declare the header:
LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(this);
View header = inflater.inflate(R.layout.header, null);
and:
ListView yourListView;
yourListView.addHeaderView(carouselBlock);
and you should be carefull to add the header before setting the adapter of the list.
