Non-scrollable ListView inside ScrollView

I'm trying to make a layout like this:

The problem is that I don't want the ListViews to be scrollable. I want them to be as high as they need to and make the whole screen be scrollable. If I set the height of the ListView to wrap_content, that doesn't work. The only way to make it work is to set a specific height - but I don't know how many items will be in the ListView.

I know that I should not put ListView inside ScrollView - but I don't want the ListView to be scrollable, just to show all items.

Maybe there is a better way to make it work?

You Create Custom ListView Which is non Scrollable

public class NonScrollListView extends ListView {

    public NonScrollListView(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }
    public NonScrollListView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }
    public NonScrollListView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    }
    @Override
    public void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
            int heightMeasureSpec_custom = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(
                    Integer.MAX_VALUE >> 2, MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);
            super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec_custom);
            ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = getLayoutParams();
            params.height = getMeasuredHeight();    
    }
}

In Your Layout Resources File

<?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"
    android:fadingEdgeLength="0dp"
    android:fillViewport="true"
    android:overScrollMode="never"
    android:scrollbars="none" >

    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

        <!-- com.Example Changed with your Package name -->

        <com.Example.NonScrollListView
            android:id="@+id/lv_nonscroll_list"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
        </com.Example.NonScrollListView>

        <RelativeLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_below="@+id/lv_nonscroll_list" >

            <!-- Your another layout in scroll view -->

        </RelativeLayout>
    </RelativeLayout>

</ScrollView>

In Java File

Create a object of your customListview instead of ListView like :
NonScrollListView non_scroll_list = (NonScrollListView) findViewById(R.id.lv_nonscroll_list);

There is no need to use a listview at all.

If you really think about it, a listview can be replaced with a LinearLayout in your case. The Adapter would be the same, however instead of attaching the adapter with your listview, simply call the getView function of the adapter in a for loop on your data and add the retrieved views to your vertical linearlayout.

However this approach is only recommended if you have a small number of items in your list and your display representation of those items is not memory intensive.

The best way to do this (in 2017) is to use a RecyclerView with a NestedScrollView.

No hacks required and it works out of the box like you want it to.
