Android - Add Linearlayout above ListView - android-layout

Question

I would like to add a LinearLayout above a ListView, so that when you scroll the screen, it scrolls the entire layout. In my LinearLayout, I have an AChartEngine GraphicalView, which I want above the ListView. I added a ScrollView, and inside that a Spinner, LinearLayout ListView, but when I run the app, only the ListView and the Spinner show up. The LinearLayout doesn't show up on the screen.
Here is my xml file. Thanks.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/spending_report_cycle_spinner"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/spending_report_graph"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layou`enter code here`t_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" />
<ListView
android:id="#+id/spending_report_listview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
</ListView>
When I call the method that returns my graph, I am given a View, which I need to add to the Layout. The only way I know of to do this is to add it to a LinearLayout.
graphLayout = (LinearLayout)view.getViewById(R.id.spending_report_graph);
graph = PieGraph.getNewInstance(getActivity(), items, items.size());
graphLayout.addView(graph);

IF yes, then description is like, Item1 is the spinner, Item 2 on the bottom is the ListView and the black line in between is the View and the extire layout is in the linear layout and it has one child (Scroll View) and only one direct child of scroll view that's Linear layout.
Here's the xml for it. I am not sure if this is what you are looking for.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/spending_report_cycle_spinner"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<View
android:id="#+id/spending_report_graph"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="3dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:background="#000000"
android:orientation="vertical" />
<ListView
android:id="#+id/spending_report_listview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
</ListView>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>

Here's I am using fragment just to confirm everything was working fine and yes, everything's working perfect.
as you see, there's the fragment I am using, the spinner is at the top, list view on the bottom and after executing the code, here's how the view looks like :

Here, the view inside two green lines is the fragment. Here's the code for everything:
First : the yourmainlayout.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/spending_report_cycle_spinner"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<View
android:id="#+id/SomeView2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="5dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:background="#008080"
android:orientation="vertical" />
<fragment
android:id="#+id/fragment_content_1"
android:name="com.mike.passintents.Fragment1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<View
android:id="#+id/SomeView2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="5dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:background="#008080"
android:orientation="vertical" />
<ListView
android:id="#+id/spending_report_listview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="300dp"
android:background="#333333" >
</ListView>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
Second : The Fragment1
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import com.mike.stackoverflowquestions.R;
public class Fragment1 extends Fragment {
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_fragment_1, container, false);
}
}
Third: Main Activity
import java.util.ArrayList;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Fragment;
import android.app.FragmentManager;
import android.app.FragmentTransaction;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.Spinner;
import android.widget.TextView;
import com.mike.stackoverflowquestions.R;
public class ActivityA extends Activity {
String somevalue1 = "Hello";
String somevalue2 = "World";
ListView mListView;
String[] numbers_text = new String[] { "one", "two", "three", "four",
"five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine", "ten", "eleven", "twelve",
"thirteen", "fourteen", "fifteen" };
ArrayList<String> mArrayList;
ArrayAdapter<String> mAdapter;
ArrayAdapter<String> spinnerAdapter;
Spinner spinner1;
TextView tV;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.custom_view_stack);
mArrayList = new ArrayList<String>();
for (String s : numbers_text) {
mArrayList.add(s);
}
spinner1 = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spending_report_cycle_spinner);
tV = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv);
mListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.spending_report_listview);
mAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getApplicationContext(),
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, mArrayList);
mListView.setAdapter(mAdapter);
spinnerAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.spinner_item,
mArrayList);
spinner1.setAdapter(spinnerAdapter);
}
public void selectFragment(View view) {
Fragment fr;
if (view == findViewById(R.id.btnSayHi)) {
fr = new Fragment1();
} else {
fr = new Fragment1();
}
FragmentManager fm = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction mFragmentTransaction = fm.beginTransaction();
mFragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.fragment_content_1, fr);
mFragmentTransaction.commit();
}
}
I made the edit. Please let me know if this works. Good luck..:)
