ListView with Title

Question

Is there a way to insert another `View` above the `List` in a `ListView`? For example, I want a Title Bar (TextView) that sits on top of the `List`, and scrolls out of view as the List scrolls. I can think of two ways so far of doing this, but both are hacks. Idea #1 - Use a LinearLayout that pretends to be a ListView. But the problem is you are unable to take advantage of the "smart" loading/unloading of views that an adapter provides. ``` # add ListItems here ``` Idea #2 - Use a hacky `ArrayAdapter`, with a `getView` method similar to this: ``` @Override public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) { if(position == 0) View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.special_list_item, null); else View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.regular_list_item, null); ... return vi; } ```

Accepted Answer

Simple. Just add a header view to your `ListView`

```
TextView textView = new TextView(context);
textView.setText("Hello. I'm a header view");

listView.addHeaderView(textView);
```
