Android Listview Divider

Using View to add divider in listView

Why don't you try this approach for custom divider

you need to check the position of the cell in your getView() and accordingly you can from your code hide/show your custom divider

 if(childPosition==0)//is first child
    {
        YOURDIVIDER.setVisibility(View.GONE);
    }
    else
    {
        YOURDIVIDER.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    }

you need to find your divider view for this, before doing this.

How to set width of ListView divider?

Make a 9 patch png that has transparent pixels on the left and right. For example, a 53x4 .9.png that has 25 transparent pixels either side (+ pixels to 9patch it) would stretch the 1 pixel out so there is 25 pixels either side of it.

How to assign padding to Listview item divider line

Use 'inset'.....

(list_divider.xml)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<inset xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:insetLeft="50dp"
    android:insetRight="50dp" >

 <shape>
    <solid android:color="@color/orange" />
    <corners android:radius="2.0dip" />
</shape>

</inset>

and in your list view add like this...

<ListView
    android:dividerHeight="2dp"
    android:divider="@drawable/list_divider"
    ...
/>

you can set the inset value as desired...

UPDATE

As pointed out by @Giulio Piancastelli , If the background of list container is different from background of list item then you may use 'layer-list'...

(list_divider.xml)

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >  
   <item>
        <shape android:shape="rectangle" >
            <solid android:color="@color/list_background" />
        </shape>
    </item>


    <item
        android:left="10dp"
        android:right="10dp">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle" >
            <solid android:color="@color/divider_color"/>
        </shape>
    </item>

        </layer-list>

and in your list view add like this...

<ListView
    android:dividerHeight="2dp"
    android:divider="@drawable/list_divider"
    ...
/>

How do I remove the divider from a listview on android?

You can try android:divider="@null".

Listview divider margin

Inset is the way to go

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<inset xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:insetLeft="15dp"
    android:insetRight="15dp" >

    <shape
        android:shape="line" >
        <stroke
            android:dashGap="1dp"
            android:dashWidth="1.5dp"
            android:width="1dp"
            android:color="#FF404040" />

            <size android:height="3dp" />

    </shape>

</inset>

Separator (divider) after last item of ListView

The answer is very simple: you should change android:layout_height="wrap_content" to android:layout_height="match_parent" in your ListView.

You can probably guess why this happens.
