Sticky Footer Below ListView in Android Layout

Question

I want to put an ad layout at the bottom of a ListView. I want it to stick to the bottom of the page and the listview almost scrolling going behind it.

This is what I have and it doesn't work:

<ListView
    android:id="@android:id/list"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:longClickable="true" >
</ListView>

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/adLayout"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="50dp"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" >
</LinearLayout>

It is that bottom LinearLayout I need to just stay at bottom. And I want ListView to go all the way to the bottom. Can anyone advise?

Answer 1

Change attributes of your ListView to :

<ListView
  android:id="@android:id/list"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="0dp"
  android:layout_weight="1"
  android:longClickable="true" >
</ListView>

EDIT: Also check that parent layout of your piece of code is LineareLayout with attribute android:orientation="vertical"
