I am trying to emulate the UI used by the gmail tablet app. When an item in the list view to the left is in an "activated" state I wish to draw an arrow indicator linking the list row to the main content fragment on the right-hand side. The "arrow" I am referring to is circled in this image:
I have achieved this by using background drawables for the list rows which is satisfactory; however, I want to make use of a divider to separate the list and the main content area. So my question is how could I achieve this without using a background drawable? I tried having the arrow indicator as a child of the list row and attempting to draw it 1 pixel outside the row to cover the divider but this did not work.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
