ListView below scrollview in Android

Question

I am trying to put a ListView below a ScrollView in android. I tried putting them inside a LineaLayout like this

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
  android:id="@+id/frameLayout"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="fill_parent"
  android:orientation="vertical" >
  <ScrollView 
      android:id="@+id/marketDetailScrollView"
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
   ...
  </ScrollView>
  <ListView  android:id="@android:id/list" 
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:background="#FFF"/>
</LinearLayout>

and the ListView doesn't get shown. I also tried putting it inside a RelaviteLayout and still nothing. Can I somehow have a ListView under a ScrollView?

Just to add something. I don't want to split my screen so that I have a half with a ScrollView and another half with a ListView. I want the user to scroll down the ScrollView which apparently is bigger than the screen size and then the ListView should start

I would recommend you to put the ScrollView Content as HeaderView in the ListView or do you explicitly want to have two separated scrollable areas on screen?

Example for putting the content of the scroll view in the list view as header (one single scrollable area):

public void onCreate(Bundle s){
    setContentView(R.id.yourLayout);

    ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView);

    // Set the adapter before the header, because older 
    // Android version may have problems if not

    listView.setAdapter(new YourAdapter());

    // Add the header
    View header = inflater.inflate(
            R.layout.you_layout_that_was_in_scrollview_before, null, false); 

    listView.addHeaderView(header);

}

The layout of the activity would look like that:

    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/frameLayout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <ListView  android:id="@+id/listView" 
    android:layout_height="match_parent" 
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:background="#FFF"/>
</LinearLayout>

If you want two scrollable areas, you should work with layout weight:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/frameLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ScrollView 
  android:id="@+id/marketDetailScrollView"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="0dp"
  android:layout_weight="1" >
  <!-- ScrollViewContent -->
</ScrollView>
<ListView  android:id="@android:id/list" 
android:layout_height="0dp" 
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:background="#FFF"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
</LinearLayout>
