How to show a button at the end of an Android ListView

I want to show a button at the end of an Android list view. How can I achieve this?

I don't want to stick it to the activity bottom using alignparentbottom="true". Using layout_below does not work for me either.

My current XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/main_bg">

    <LinearLayout
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <ListView
            android:id="@+id/android:list"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:drawSelectorOnTop="false"
            android:cacheColorHint="#ff6a00"
            android:divider="#ff8f40"
            android:dividerHeight="1px" />

    </LinearLayout>

    <RelativeLayout
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="50sp"
        android:background="#676767"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <Button
            android:layout_width="100px"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/btnGetMoreResults"
            android:layout_marginLeft="10px"
            android:text="Get more" />

    </RelativeLayout>

You could, of course, use a custom adapter and specify a footer item. But you could probably also get away with putting it at the bottom of a ScrollView and have the ListView stretch vertically to the content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/main_bg">

  <ScrollView
      android:layout_height="fill_parent"
      android:layout_width="fill_parent">

    <LinearLayout 
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            >

      <ListView android:id="@+id/android:list"
          android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:drawSelectorOnTop="false" 
          android:cacheColorHint="#ff6a00"
          android:divider="#ff8f40"
          android:dividerHeight="1px"
          />

      <RelativeLayout 
          android:layout_width="fill_parent"
          android:layout_height="50sp"
          android:background="#676767"
          android:orientation="vertical">

        <Button android:layout_width="100px"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/btnGetMoreResults"
            android:layout_marginLeft="10px"
            android:text="Get more" />

      </RelativeLayout>

    </LinearLayout>

  </ScrollView>

</RelativeLayout>
