Adding button after listview in custom dialog

Question

I'm trying to add a button after ListView in a custom Dialog using addFooterView() method. birthday_friend_contact_dialog.xml code..

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:background="#FFFFFF"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

<ListView
    android:id="@+id/friend_contact_list"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:dividerHeight="1dp" />

birthday_footerview_button.xml..

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/birthday_friend_footer_button"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

<Button
    android:id="@+id/cancel_contact_dialog"
    android:layout_width="90dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
    android:text="Cancel" />

adding Button in custom Dialog below ListView using the following code..

                final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(AddNewFriend.this);
            dialog.setContentView(R.layout.birthday_friend_contact_dialog);
            dialog.setTitle("Select Contact...");

            ListView contactList = (ListView) dialog
                    .findViewById(R.id.friend_contact_list);

            //////Some code for listview adapter

            View footerLayout = (View)dialog.getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.birthday_footerview_button,null);
            Button dialogButton = (Button) footerLayout
                    .findViewById(R.id.cancel_contact_dialog);
            contactList.addFooterView(footerLayout);

            dialog.show();

But Button doesn't appear below ListView. Thanks in advance.

This seems to be an issue with list view height, mostly, listviews have issues with wrap content. Try to set fix height or set it's height to match parent. — Keyfe Ang, Sep 12 '14 at 06:27
how can i set `ListView` height as a percentage of total screen height? — user3384985, Sep 12 '14 at 06:30
Set android:layout_height="match_parent" if you want to set it's height same as its parent. But if you want to it's height as percentage of the screen height, Then you can programatically sets its height(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2963152/android-how-to-resize-a-custom-view-programmatically) — Keyfe Ang, Sep 12 '14 at 06:35

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:background="#FFFFFF"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >

<EditText android:id="@+id/friend_search"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
    android:hint="Search contact.."

<Button

    android:text="Cancel" />

<ListView
    android:id="@+id/friend_contact_list"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_below="@id/friend_search"
