As @YoniSamlan pointed out, it can be achieved in a simple way. You have to specify
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
in the ViewGroup that contains the "Load More" button. Doesn't have to be FrameLayout, see below for a simple -working- example that uses a LinearLayout.
Both images show a screen that is scrolled all the way to the bottom. First one has a visible footer that wraps around the "load more" button. Second images shows that the footer collapses if you set button's visibility to GONE.
You can show again the footer (inside some callback) by changing the visibility:
loadMore.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); // set to View.GONE to hide it again
![listView with visible footer]()
![listView with footer gone]()
Perform listView initialization as usual
// Find View, set empty View if needed
mListView = (ListView) root.findViewById(R.id.reservations_search_results);
mListView.setEmptyView(root.findViewById(R.id.search_reservations_list_empty));
// Instantiate footerView using a LayoutInflater and add to listView
footerView = ((LayoutInflater) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE))
.inflate(R.layout.load_more_footer_view, null, false);
// additionally, find the "load more button" inside the footer view
loadMore = footerView.findViewById(R.id.load_more);
loadMore.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
fetchData();
}
});
// add footer view to the list
mListView.addFooterView(footerView);
// after we're done setting the footerView, we can setAdapter
adapter = new ReservationsArrayAdapter(getActivity(), R.layout.list_item_reservations_search, reservationsList);
mListView.setAdapter(adapter);
load_more_footer_view.xml
