Adding EditBox in LisView Header in Android

Create a separate layout header.xml and add below code:

<TableLayout   
    android:layout_weight="0"   
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"   
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">  

    <TableRow>  
        <EditText android:id="@+id/newmessagecontent"  
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"   
            android:singleLine="false"  
            android:gravity="top"  
            android:layout_width="250dp"  
            android:layout_alignParentTop="true"  
              />  

        <Button android:layout_height="wrap_content"   
            android:id="@+id/sendmessage"   
            android:text="Send"   
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"  
            />  
    </Table> 
      </TableLayout>

Update the main activity java code with below code

ListView lv = getListView(); 
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater(); 
ViewGroup header = (ViewGroup)inflater.inflate(R.layout.header, lv, false); //header is above XML code
lv.addHeaderView(header, null, false);
