There are many ways to do this;

1. Assuming that you have only a ListView and a button to display in your activity. Say you use LinearLayout; you can set the layout_weight of the ListView to "1" and then have the button below the ListView.
2. If you are using RelativeLayout you can use align_parentBottom property to place the button at the bottom of its parent

Sorry but I don’t understand how to have the button the ListView ?
Can you please show example

My main.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    >
<ListView
    android:id="@+id/results"
	android:layout_width="wrap_content"
	android:layout_height="wrap_content"
	/>
<Button
	android:id="@+id/gen"
	android:layout_width="wrap_content"
	android:layout_height="wrap_content"
	android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
	android:text="Regenerate"
	android:textStyle="bold|italic"
	android:textColor="#ffff9933"
	android:typeface="serif"
	/>
</LinearLayout>
