change this

   @override    public int getitemviewtype(int position) {      if (position == 0) {        return type_header;       }      else if (position ==2) {       return type_footer ;      }      else  {      return type_item;      }    }   

to

   @override     public int getitemviewtype(int position) {     if(position==0){         return type_header;     }      else if((mnavtitles.length+ 1) == position){         return type_footer;     }else{          return type_item;     } }
