How to change color of Android ListView separator line?

Question

I want to change color of ListView separator line. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

You can set this value in a layout xml file using android:divider="#FF0000". If you are changing the colour/drawable, you have to set/reset the height of the divider too.

<LinearLayout
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content">

  <ListView 
    android:id="@+id/android:list"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:divider="#FFCC00"
    android:dividerHeight="4px"/>

</LinearLayout>

Answer 2

Use below code in your xml file

<ListView 
    android:id="@+id/listView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:divider="#000000" 
    android:dividerHeight="1dp">
</ListView> 

Answer 3

Or you can code it:

int[] colors = {0, 0xFFFF0000, 0}; // red for the example
myList.setDivider(new GradientDrawable(Orientation.RIGHT_LEFT, colors));
myList.setDividerHeight(1);

Hope it helps
