if you use actionBarSherlock, you can use the com.actionbarsherlock.internal.widget.IcsLinearLayout class in order to support dividers and show them between the views .
example of usage:
... children...
res/drawable/divider.xml :
do note that for some reason, the preview in the graphical designer says "android.graphics.bitmap_delegate.nativeRecycle(I)Z" . not sure what it means, but it can be ignored as it works fine on both new versions of android and old ones (tested on android 4.2 and 2.3) .
seems the error is only shown when using API17 for the graphical designer.
