I looked up several of the ideas, and ended up trying to add buttons to the listview. However, I'm running into this problem...
"ArrayAdapter requires the resource ID to be a TextView" The XML layout (task_item.xml) in question is: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <TextView android:id="@+id/text1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"/> <Button android:id="@+id/listAddTask" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Add Task" /> </RelativeLayout> and the code causing the problem is (after the button listener to save space): ...}); ArrayAdapter<String> tList = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.task_item, tasks); setListAdapter(tList); } I've been playing around with this for some time, and have combed google for an existing working example of buttons in a listview per row, but can't seem to find anything =( Thanks for any help, Moiraine On May 8, 5:37 pm, Mark Murphy <mmur...@commonsware.com> wrote: > moiraine wrote: > > I'm trying to use a ListView with Buttons beneath the listview, and am > > running into problems where the listview and buttons just don't > > realize each other are there (they overlap) > > > Currently the xml file is: > > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> > > <RelativeLayout > > xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; > > android:layout_width="fill_parent" > > android:layout_height="wrap_content"> > > > <Button > > android:id="@+id/addTask" > > android:layout_width="fill_parent" > > android:layout_height="wrap_content" > > android:text="Add Task" /> > > > <ListView > > android:id="@id/android:list" > > android:layout_width="fill_parent" > > android:layout_height="fill_parent" > > android:drawSelectorOnTop="false"/> > > > </RelativeLayout> > > You have not specified any positioning rules, so these will overlap by > definition, given the way RelativeLayout works.
