You whaterver height for your upper view , in your lower view set like this and don'st set layout weight to upper view — Sanjeev, Jul 27 '15 at 08:33
Done. Also set the maximum height of scrollview by writing custom scrollview . So no need to set weight — Rakesh Gondaliya, Jul 28 '15 at 12:01

Try to remove the current weight from the top view and in the listview set android:layout_weight="1" and android:layout_height="0dp". This makes the ListView to take whatever height left in the screen.

thanks for your reply, But i wanted to make sure that top scoll view maximum height should not go beyond half the height of view. I did it by custom Scrollview. But your answer is correct. Thanks. – Rakesh Gondaliya Jul 28 '15 at 12:00
