Answer 1

As WarrenFaith said, we can't help you without the XML code. The basic answer with the informations you gave is layout_height but you can have set fill_parent and layout_weight to other fields and it would not be the same. Please provide some code

Answer 2

@MGSenthil: everybody was once new here. Simply work with and not against us :)

Back to topic: What do you mean with because the height of header can't being changed in any sense? Please clarify if you cant change the height because it didnt work or if you cant change it because it has to be this size?!

If you want to have this header with a specific size, you should consider to remove something of the content so it fits.

I never used a custom title, but you should check if its not better to request NO_TITLE and simply add your header to the main.xml layout? You should be able to increase the height of your header that way.
