How to display a list of items in android without putting them in a listview?

Question

I want a view that looks something like this

<view>
  <custom-button> //hard-coded
  <custom-button> //hard-coded
  <list>
    // dynamic list contents
  </list>
<view>

Where all of the contents are scrollable within the outer view. My first thought was to put it all in a scrollview but apparently you can't place a listview inside a scrollview. What is the best approach to something like this?

Do you want the list view to expand and not be scrollable, but the parent view to be scrollable ? — Bajji, Jul 24 '15 at 17:53
yes so the list itself should not scroll but the entire contents (list along with the buttons) should scroll inside the parent view — user1809913, Jul 24 '15 at 17:56

One of the possible solutions could be use your CustomButtons as a part of ListView or RecyclerView (first item of list) and use ViewHolder pattern for efficiency depending on what kind of other data is in your list.
