listview scrollbar code example

Example 1: list view in scrollview

//This method needs to be run each time the list view data changes
//It sets the height to the height of all the individual views

public static void setListViewHeightBasedOnChildren

Example 2: list view in scrollview

//Must use method whenever updating listview data
//Sets listview height to total of all individual views

public static void getListViewSize(ListView myListView) {
        ListAdapter myListAdapter = myListView.getAdapter();
        if (myListAdapter==null) {
            //do nothing return null
            return;
        }
        //set listAdapter in loop for getting final size
        int totalHeight = 0;
        for (int size = 0; size < myListAdapter.getCount(); size++) {
            View listItem = myListAdapter.getView(size, null, myListView);
            listItem.measure(0, 0);
            totalHeight += listItem.getMeasuredHeight();
        }
        //setting listview item in adapter
        ViewGroup.LayoutParams params=myListView.getLayoutParams();
        params.height=totalHeight + (myListView.getDividerHeight() * (myListAdapter.getCount() - 1));
        myListView.setLayoutParams(params);
    }
