package com.Webnetware.adapter;

import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.MeasureSpec;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ListAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;

public class Utility {

    public static void setListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(ListView listView) {
        ListAdapter listAdapter = listView.getAdapter();
        if (listAdapter == null) {          
            return;
        }

        int totalHeight = 0;
        int desiredWidth = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(listView.getWidth(), MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);
        for (int i = 0; i < listAdapter.getCount(); i++) {
            View listItem = listAdapter.getView(i, null, listView);
            listItem.measure(desiredWidth, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
            totalHeight += listItem.getMeasuredHeight();
        }

        ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = listView.getLayoutParams();
        params.height = totalHeight + (listView.getDividerHeight() * (listAdapter.getCount() - 1));
        listView.setLayoutParams(params);
        listView.requestLayout();
    }
}



res/layout/activity_main.xml

the xml design view class , you have to drag & drop two listView.

<ScrollView
     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@+id/scrollView1"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
         android:fillViewport="true">
       
   
    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/layout_blue"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="300dp"
        android:background="#6bc4ce"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:padding="8dp"      
        android:layout_weight="1" >

        <ListView
            android:id="@+id/listView1"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
        </ListView>
        <ListView
            android:id="@+id/listView2"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
        </ListView>
    </LinearLayout>
