How can I make my listview rows different heights

Question

Right now if there is a list item that is 2 lines in height then all the rows are two lines in height

How can I make the rows' height independent on other rows.

ListView

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/user_list"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:divider="@null" />

</LinearLayout>

Row

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:paddingBottom="1dp"
    android:paddingTop="1dp"
    android:paddingLeft="8dp"
    android:paddingRight="8dp" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/user_name"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="0"
        android:maxLines="2"
        android:ellipsize="middle"
        android:textColor="@android:color/holo_blue_dark"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/points"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="right"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:gravity="right"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

</LinearLayout>

I am using a custom adapter extending BaseAdapter. the getView there is nothing special, just a viewholder patern I don't change height or anything

Answer 1

why don't you try making the height = 0dp and weight 1

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:paddingBottom="1dp"
    android:paddingTop="1dp"
    android:paddingLeft="8dp"
    android:paddingRight="8dp" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/user_name"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:maxLines="2"
        android:ellipsize="middle"
        android:textColor="@android:color/holo_blue_dark"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/points"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_gravity="right"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:gravity="right"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

</LinearLayout>
