Android - divider between items in vertical layout

Question

Possible Duplicate:
Android Drawing Separator/Divider Line in Layout?

I am making something similar to a list view, without actually making a list view...

I have a bunch of text views in a vertical layout, and I am wondering if it is possible to get some sort of divider line in between them. The line dividers like they have in List Views..

Any help?

You can use a textview to create a divider line

Example:

<TextView          
      android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
      android:layout_height="1px" 
      android:background="#DADADA" />

Doesn't need to be a TextView, a regular View will do fine and will render faster. – Josh Aug 03 '11 at 16:46
Yep, I just wanted to give an example. – Sam Aug 03 '11 at 20:01

You should be using `dp` instead of `px` – rndstr Jan 03 '12 at 11:35

no do not use dp in this instance because android will scale down the 1dp to .75 px on lower dpi screens and that will be 0px. px is correct – Jarad Duersch Feb 06 '13 at 18:50

You can insert View with background of any color you want and

layout_height = "1dp" (or more if necesary) and

layout_width="fill_parent".
