Android: Adding header to dynamic listView -

i'm still pretty new android coding, , trying figure things out. i'm creating listview dynamically shown below (and disabling items dynamically also) - you'll notice there's no xml file activity itself, listitem.

what i'd add static header page. explain me how can modify code below either add programatically within java file, before listview, or edit code below targets listview within xml file!

help appreciated!!!

public class start extends listactivity {      @override     public void oncreate(bundle savedinstancestate) {       super.oncreate(savedinstancestate);        databasehelper mydbhelper = new databasehelper(null);       mydbhelper = new databasehelper(this);        try {      mydbhelper.opendatabase();   }catch(sqlexception sqle){      throw sqle;   }        arraylist<string> categorylist = new arraylist<string>();        cursor cur = mydbhelper.getallcategories();         cur.movetofirst();         while (cur.isafterlast() == false) {                  if (!categorylist.contains(cur.getstring(1))) {                     categorylist.add(cur.getstring(1));                 }                  cur.movetonext();             }         cur.close();         collections.sort(categorylist);          setlistadapter(new arrayadapter<string>(this, r.layout.listitem, categorylist) {            @override           public view getview(int position, view convertview, viewgroup parent) {               view view = super.getview(position, convertview, parent);                if(arrays.aslist(checkarray3).contains(string.valueof(position))){                   view.setenabled(false);               } else {                   view.setenabled(true);                                     }                return view;           }                          });       }      @override     protected void onlistitemclick(listview l, view v, int position, long id) {         if(v.isenabled()) {             string clickedcat = l.getitematposition(position).tostring();             toast.maketext(this, clickedcat, toast.length_short).show();              finish();             intent myintent = new intent(getapplicationcontext(), questions.class);             myintent.putextra("passedcategory", clickedcat);             myintent.putextra("starttrigger", "go");             startactivity(myintent);         }     }   } 

you need create additional xml file activity display list. might this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <relativelayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent" >      <imageview         android:id="@+id/imageview1"         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_centerhorizontal="true"         android:scaletype="fitxy"         android:src="@drawable/view"/>      <linearlayout         android:id="@+id/linearlayout1"         android:layout_width="fill_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:orientation="vertical" >          <imageview             android:id="@+id/homelogo"             android:layout_width="wrap_content"             android:layout_height="wrap_content"              android:scaletype="fitstart"             android:src="@drawable/logo" />     </linearlayout>      <listview         android:id="@android:id/list"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_below="@+id/linearlayout1"         android:layout_centerhorizontal="true"          android:cachecolorhint="#00000000">     </listview>  </relativelayout>
