I have an Activity
that fits the screen size in portrait mode like shown in image below
Problem is when i rotate screen, the ListView
collapses and displays only one item like shown in image below
What is causing this issue and how can i fix it ?

So i solved the issue mentioned in my question by having
1- Separate layout file for landscape mode. Made a a new folder named layout-land
inside res
folder and then copied the layout file included in my question in to layout-land
folder and then made appropriate changes according to landscape portrait.
2- Having fixed height for ListView
. In my case i set the height of ListView
to 190dp
.
Now my layout in landscape looks like shown in image below
