Dynamically set height of listview

public static void setListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(ListView listView) {
    ListAdapter listAdapter = listView.getAdapter();
    if (listAdapter == null) {
        // pre-condition        return;
    }
    if (listAdapter.getCount() <= 2) {
        int totalHeight = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < listAdapter.getCount(); i++) {
            View listItem = listAdapter.getView(i, null, listView);
            listItem.measure(0, 0);
            totalHeight += listItem.getMeasuredHeight();
        }

        ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = listView.getLayoutParams();
        params.height = totalHeight
                + (listView.getDividerHeight() * (listAdapter.getCount() - 1));
        listView.setLayoutParams(params);
        listView.requestLayout();
    }
}

In the main Acticity use this Utility class to change the listview height.

 phraseListView=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.phrase_listview);
 phraseAdapter=new PhraseListAdapter(this);
phraseListView.setAdapter(phraseAdapter);

setListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(phraseListView);      

2) If Adapter item's height is dynamic then use this function before nofitydataSetChanged()

public static void setListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(ListView listView) {
    ListAdapter listAdapter = listView.getAdapter();
    if (listAdapter == null) {
        return;
    }
    int totalHeight = 0;
    int desiredWidth = View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(listView.getWidth(), View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
    for (int i = 0; i < listAdapter.getCount(); i++) {
        View listItem = listAdapter.getView(i, null, listView);
        listItem.measure(desiredWidth, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
        totalHeight += listItem.getMeasuredHeight();
    }

    ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = listView.getLayoutParams();
    params.height = totalHeight + (listView.getDividerHeight() * (listAdapter.getCount() - 1)) + 10;
    Log.e("HEIGHT","HEIGHT::::::"+params.height);
    listView.setLayoutParams(params);
    listView.requestLayout();

}
