Android Java - ListView and other elements in layout

Question

I have the following layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@color/white"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/feed_item_margin"
        android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/feed_item_margin"
        android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/feed_item_margin"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:paddingBottom="@dimen/feed_item_padding_top_bottom"
        android:paddingTop="@dimen/feed_item_padding_top_bottom" >

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="horizontal">

            <ImageView
                android:contentDescription="@string/feed_icon_typeofgame_description"
                android:id="@+id/typeOfGame"
                android:layout_width="@dimen/feed_item_profile_pic"
                android:layout_height="@dimen/feed_item_profile_pic"
                android:scaleType="fitCenter" />

            <LinearLayout
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:orientation="vertical"
                android:paddingLeft="@dimen/feed_item_profile_info_padd" >

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

                <TextView
                    android:id="@+id/name"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:textSize="@dimen/feed_itemview_profile_name"
                    android:textStyle="bold" />

                 <TextView
                    android:id="@+id/type"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:textSize="@dimen/feed_itemview_type_text"
                    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
                    android:textColor="@color/feed_item_text_color" />

             </RelativeLayout>

                <TextView
                    android:id="@+id/timestamp"
                    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:textColor="@color/timestamp"
                    android:textSize="@dimen/feed_itemview_timestamp" />
            </LinearLayout>
        </LinearLayout>

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/txtStatusMsg"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:paddingBottom="5dp"
            android:paddingLeft="@dimen/feed_item_status_pad_left_right"
            android:paddingRight="@dimen/feed_item_status_pad_left_right"
            android:paddingTop="@dimen/feed_item_status_pad_top"
            android:textSize="@dimen/feed_itemview_desc" />

        <RelativeLayout
            android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
            android:orientation="horizontal" >

            <Button
            android:id="@+id/buttonRating"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:paddingLeft="@dimen/feed_item_rating_pad_left"
            android:paddingTop="@dimen/feed_item_rating_pad_top" />


        </RelativeLayout>

         <View
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="1dp"
            android:background="@color/feed_divider"
            android:layout_marginLeft="1dp"
            android:layout_marginRight="1dp" />

         <ListView
            android:id="@+id/list_comment"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:divider="@color/feed_divider"
            android:dividerHeight="1px" />

    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

The ListView doesn't scroll down, see the below picture

How fix this problem? Maybe add ScrollView ? Or make the upper part of this element in view and add header of listvew?

Adding listview in scrollview or vice versa is bad and should not be done. Go with adding the top part as header for the listview.

As vishnus suggested :: Adding a List in a scrollview is not recomended

Because:: Android gets confused which scroll event to fire (listview or Scroll view)
Overview:: You can achieve your goal with Just Listview

Solution::

              - Try to add a header to a listview

              - Second way to use multiple layouts in listview

Example1 :: See this project

Example2:: See this Project
