How to put list items at the bottom of list view in Navigation Drawer like Foursquare

Question

I got a list view for navigation drawer, how can I put list item like "Add Friends", "Settings" align at the bottom of the list view.

Update 1
I add a setting view to the footer view.

View settingView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.drawer_list_item, null);
TextView textView = (TextView)settingView.findViewById(R.id.drawer_list_item_text_view);
textView.setText("Settings");
drawerListView.addFooterView(settingView); 

The settings item appear at the last one in the list view successfully. But how can I make it to stick and align at the bottom? Thanks.

You can put the ListView inside a RelativeLayout and assign android:layout_gravity="start" to the RelativeLayout. And set android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" property to the view you want to set to bottom of ListView.

This may help you.

Jay Donga was really helpful, but I had to change two methods to insert a footer in my DrawerLayout.

// WITHOUT FOOTER VIEW
mDrawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(mDrawerList)
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mDrawerList)

// WITH FOOTER VIEW
mDrawerContent = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.relative_layout);
mDrawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(mDrawerContent)
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mDrawerContent)
