A) If you tell the "layout" LinearLayout to fill it's parent vertically, it will do exactly that, pushing the rest out of the way.

B) Putting a ListView inside a LinearLayout for no other reason than to contain it is redundant and wasteful.

Remove the "layout" LinearLayout and set the ListView's height to wrap_content, leaving it's weight to 1 so it takes all available space after the other items are laid out.

Also have a looky-loo at ListView setFooterView() and setHeaderView() - might make sense in your scenario.
