yeah, it's supposed to have extra empty margin at the end of the list 
(bottomMargin property), that can either be set or use the default component 
for the list,
RefreshableListView (that also optionally offers the pull down to refresh 
behavior many apps have, since that list is fetched from a server, it may be 
useful)
