Adding Header in ListView in android

Question

I need add header in my listview and header should always displayed even scrolling list.

Is it possible in android list view?

Answer 1

The solution that works for me is to create a TableLayout that has a row with the heading and a row with the list like this:

<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

   <include layout="@layout/header" />

   <ListView
    android:id="@android:id/list"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

</TableLayout>

Please make sure that the ListView has @android:id/list as the ID.

Answer 2

you can add header in list view like this:

View headerView = ((LayoutInflater)Activity.this.getSystemService(Activity.this.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE)).inflate(R.layout.header, null, false);
list.addHeaderView(headerView)
