Android ListView Item - View in listview item

Question

When I use a view in listview item, it doesn't show the view for the item when I use android:layout_height="match_parent". If i set some value for the layout_height like 50dp, it works usually. The problem is that I cant set a specific value for height, I need it all the height.

Anybody knows how to solve that problem?

Edit:

Listview item xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@color/white" >

    <View
        android:id="@+id/lv_main_view_account"
        android:layout_width="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" />

    <View
        android:id="@+id/lv_main_view_category"
        android:layout_width="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true" />

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/lv_main_view_category"

        <RelativeLayout

            android:orientation="horizontal" >

            <TextView

                android:textColor="@color/dark_gray" />

            <TextView

                android:gravity="right"
                android:textStyle="bold" />

            <TextView

                android:textColor="@color/black"
                android:textStyle="bold" />
        </RelativeLayout>

        <TextView

            android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
            android:textColor="@color/black" />
    </LinearLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

`android:layout_height="fill_parent"` ? Anyways, if you want one item to populate the whole `ListView` then why do you need the `ListView` in the first place? You could just use that inner item — nem035, Sep 25 '14 at 18:39
if you want that a view fill the whole item just declare it as the parent in layout, don't use Linear or relative layout. just the item. and use wrap_content. — SaDeGH_F, Sep 25 '14 at 18:45
wrap_content, match_parent, fill parent doesn't not work. When I use some this value, it like to use visibility="invisible". When I use some value like 50dp, it works... — Douglas Fornaro, Sep 25 '14 at 19:12
you need get screen height and set that to view dynamically, you can't set via xml — Shayan Pourvatan, Sep 25 '14 at 19:32
xml posted is the layout of listview item. Is that what you want? — Douglas Fornaro, Sep 26 '14 at 12:25

It is not going to work at all. If you really want to do that you can set the height of the item inside your ListView's adapter.

Getting screen size

Setting the height
