any ideas how above?

myfragment.xml

 <?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="wrap_content"     android:orientation="vertical" >      <textview         style="?android:listseparatortextviewstyle"         android:textsize="18sp"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:text="@string/weight_history_label" />      <relativelayout   android:layout_width="match_parent"   android:layout_height="wrap_content"  >           <textview android:id="@+id/item"             android:layout_width="match_parent"             android:layout_height="wrap_content"              android:textstyle="bold"             android:paddingleft="4dp"             android:paddingright="4dp"             android:text="weigh in date" />          <textview             android:id="@+id/amount"             android:layout_width="match_parent"             android:layout_height="wrap_content"             android:layout_below="@id/item"              android:inputtype="numberdecimal"             android:paddingleft="4dp"             android:paddingright="4dp"             android:paddingtop="4dp"             android:text="weight amount " />    </relativelayout> </linearlayout> 

i have class of items:

items.java public class newentry {     private string mname;     private int mnumber;      public newentry(){         ....      } 

getters/setters }

then in fragment.java

myfragment.java   public class myfragment extends listfragment {      private arraylist<items> mentries;     menuitem test;      @override     public void oncreate(bundle savedinstancestate) {         super.oncreate(savedinstancestate);         //get entries , store them on mentries         mentries = entrieslab.get(getactivity()).getweighinentries();         sethasoptionsmenu(true);          itemadapter adapter = new itemadapter(mentries);         setlistadapter(adapter);     }      /interface talk activity     public interface onbuttonclicked {         public void onweighinbuttonclicked(view v);     }      private class itemadapter extends arrayadapter<items> {          public itemadapter(arraylist<items> items) {             super(getactivity(), 0, items);         }         @override         public view getview(int position, view convertview, viewgroup parent) {             // if weren't given view, inflate 1             if (convertview == null) {                 convertview = getactivity().getlayoutinflater()                     .inflate(r.layout.myfragment, null);             }             items c = getitem(position);             textview titledateview =                     (textview)convertview.findviewbyid(r.id.name);             titledateview.settext(c.getdate().tostring());           //  log.i("weighinfragment: ", "###current weight " + c.getdate().tostring());             textview titleweightview =                     (textview)convertview.findviewbyid(r.id.witem);              titleweightview.settext(""+c.getweight());              return convertview;          }     } } 

so implement label once , display list of items! no matter try list of : label item value label item value label item value ...

the problem inflating xml label each of list items. that's why header each time. xml inflated inside of getview supposed individual items, not label above list.

try overriding oncreateview instead of oncreate in fragment. in function can inflate xml file has label , listview. have separate xml items, has relativelayout , 2 textview children.

edit:

sorry, let me more complete. in oncreateview, inflate full fragment's xml, should include listview. since using listactivity, sure listview's id android:id/list. should like

<?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="wrap_content"     android:orientation="vertical" >      <textview         style="?android:listseparatortextviewstyle"         android:textsize="18sp"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:text="@string/weight_history_label" />      <listview android:id="@id/android:list"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="match_parent"         android:background="#00ff00"         android:layout_weight="1"         android:drawselectorontop="false"/> </linearlayout> 

now create separate list_item.xml contains relativelayout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <relativelayout     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content">      <textview android:id="@+id/item"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"          android:textstyle="bold"         android:paddingleft="4dp"         android:paddingright="4dp"         android:text="weigh in date" />      <textview         android:id="@+id/amount"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_below="@id/item"          android:inputtype="numberdecimal"         android:paddingleft="4dp"         android:paddingright="4dp"         android:paddingtop="4dp"         android:text="weight amount " />  </relativelayout> 

finally, oncreateview place attach adapter listview:

public view oncreateview(layoutinflater inflater, viewgroup container, bundle savedinstancestate) {     //get entries , store them on mentries     mentries = entrieslab.get(getactivity()).getweighinentries();     sethasoptionsmenu(true);      view rootview = inflater.inflate(r.layout.my_fragment, container, true);     setlistadapter(new itemadapter(mentries));     return rootview; }
