Answer 1

Add divider for the Listview item and padding :

 android:divider="@android:color/transparent"
    android:dividerHeight="1dip"

Add RelativeLayout into your LinearLayout for ListItem with some desired padding :

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="100dp"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:padding="3dp" >

    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"

        android:background="@drawable/rowshadow" >

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/title"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
...

Add Background to the listview item , like :

<?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="@android:color/darker_gray" />
              <corners android:radius="0dp"/>
        </shape>
     </item>
     <item android:right="1dp" android:left="1dp" android:bottom="2dp">
        <shape 
          android:shape="rectangle">
              <solid android:color="@android:color/white"/>
              <corners android:radius="0dp"/>
        </shape>
     </item>
   </layer-list>
