Add a profile box on top of ListView












-1















I am following Udacity course on how to build a ListView + ArrayAdapter.
Now I want to implement my own little app, and that on top of the list there should be a user profile windows.
This is the original design and code:



The activity inflates the listview:



@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.word_list);


And this is the word_list layout:



<ListView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:drawSelectorOnTop="true"
android:orientation="vertical" />


This is how it looks:



enter image description here



But this is how I want it to look like:



enter image description here



I have no idea how to do that

          Try using this function



          You need create header.xml and add it to ListView. For example:



          listView.addHeaderView(getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.header, null));

          • And that header.xml will be a simple LinearLayout with an imageview and textview inside? Or it should also be a ListView itself

          • Also, it has to be done this way ? i.e programatically? Or I can somehow make it part of the xml before inflating?
