 <LinearLayout 
 xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
 android:orientation="vertical" 
 android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
 android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
 android:minWidth="25px" 
 android:minHeight="25px"> 
 <ListView 
 android:minWidth="25px" 
 android:minHeight="25px"
