Try addHeaderView().

You haven't indicated how you are adding stuff to the ArrayAdapter, and
your problem may lie in there.

However, I would use addHeaderView() for this circumstance, or have your
"sentinel" live outside the ListView. Remember: even though you are
using a ListActivity, you can still specify your own layout. You need
the magic android:id for the ListView (@android:id/list) in that case.
