Android fixed header on ListActivity

Question

I am quite new to ListViews, that's to begin with.

Anyways, what I want to do, is obviousy to hold a button or whatever on top of my list, which is created programmatically and with only one xml file. The xml file:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/LinearLayout1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    tools:context=".Main" >


    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/picID"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:paddingBottom="10dp"
        android:paddingRight="10dp"
        android:paddingTop="10dp" />

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/LinearLayout2"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical" >

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/eventName"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:textSize="18sp" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/eventTime"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="right"
            android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
            android:textSize="16sp" />
    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

Then in Main.java I simply define my ListAdapter

SimpleAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(Main.this, fillMaps,
                    R.layout.main, from, to);
            setListAdapter(adapter);

So basically I do not have a <ListView/> in my XML file.

Answer 1

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="#F2B1DBF3"
    android:orientation="vertical" >
<Button
 android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:id="@+id/button"
..
>
<LinearLayout

..
android:layout_below="@+id/button"
>...

</RelativeLayout>
