Android ListView only shows first item

Question

I have a ListView that is only showing one item. If I make the ListView a set height, I can see that all the items are getting loaded into it, but the wrap_content is only showing the first row.

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">

<com.fmsirvent.ParallaxEverywhere.PEWImageView
    android:id="@+id/logo"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="370dp"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:contentDescription="@string/show_logo"
    android:scaleType="centerCrop" />

<GridView
    android:id="@+id/hostGrid"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="240dp"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:columnWidth="100dp"
    android:numColumns="auto_fit" />

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/showDescription"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_margin="16dp"
    android:textSize="20sp" />

<ListView
    android:id="@+id/showListView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>

Generally you want a ListView, RecyclerView, etc to take up all of the remaining space and perhaps have a minimum height. Since you've got yours in a LinearLayout, this will work nicely:

<ListView
    android:id="@+id/showListView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_weight="1" />

If you find it's too small on some devices, you will need to put the LinearLayout into some sort of ScrollView and set a minimum height on the ListView.

To do that, you will need to use a NestedScrollView . The best way to achieve this will be something like this:

<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

        <com.fmsirvent.ParallaxEverywhere.PEWImageView
            android:id="@+id/logo"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="370dp"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:contentDescription="@string/show_logo"
            android:scaleType="centerCrop" />

        <GridView
            android:id="@+id/hostGrid"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="240dp"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:columnWidth="100dp"
            android:numColumns="auto_fit" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/showDescription"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_margin="16dp"
            android:textSize="20sp" />

        <ListView
            android:id="@+id/showListView"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent" />

    </LinearLayout>

</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>

Hope this helps.
