Sticky List Footer for Android

This brief tutorial covers a simple approach to place a view in the bottom of its parent in order complement the information provided by any kind of scrolling view. Due to the massive usage of ListViews, this example will use it as a basis. The container suggested behaves similarly as a list footer does, with the difference that this one stays at the bottom, independently of the view, even when there’s no sufficient content within the list to cover it. At the bottom of this text, links to the source code, a demo video and the covered sample app to download from Google Play are included. Note that it has been intended to work the same way in pre-ICS versions of Android.
