ListView isn't really meant to handle that type of UI with editable entries, as it manages the selection state of the items directly. It's designed to handle long lists of items that don't take focus themselves.
The contact editing screen is using a vertical LinearLayout wrapped in a ScrollView, containing horizontal LinearLayours of the EditTexts and Buttons. When using a ScrollView you can set android:fillViewport="true" in your layout file to get it to fill up the entire screen, which is how contacts pushes the buttons to the bottom. -Jeff On Wed, Sep 3, 2008 at 1:19 PM, istv <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello everyone, > I had problems today concerning ListView/ListAdapter...
