Accepted Answer

This is probably caused by calling `setAdapter()` on the ListView before calling `setFooterView()`. This was necessary in all versions of Android prior to 4.4

Actually, I didn't know this restriction had been relaxed for KitKat until I saw this question... :)

In the sources of `addFooterView()` for API level 15:

```
/*
 * NOTE: Call this before calling setAdapter. This is so ListView can wrap
 * the supplied cursor with one that will also account for header and footer
 * views.
```

Meanwhile, it KitKat, this restriction was relaxed:

```
/*
 * Note: When first introduced, this method could only be called before
 * setting the adapter with {@link #setAdapter(ListAdapter)}. Starting with
 * {@link android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#KITKAT}, this method may be
 * called at any time.
```

If you want to be compatible with pre-4.4, you need to respect the calling order, i.e.

- `addFooterView(footer);`

- `setAdapter(adapter);`

- `removeFooterView(footer);`
