    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/foodbg"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

        <ListView
            android:id="@android:id/list"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"

Hi, you can use RelativeLayout instead of LinearLayout.

In such case you should place your button at the bottom of the layout. After that place your list at the top of the layout and above the button. RelativeLayout has special xml-attributes to help you do this. After that you do not need a ScrollView.

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="bottom"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

        <ListView
            android:id="@android:id/list"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_margin="10dp"
            android:layout_weight="1" />

        <Button
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="45dp"
            android:layout_gravity="bottom"
            android:id="@+id/backToMenu"
