You have obviously read: How do you put a border around a ListView? since you are using the code from the better / more popular answer. But read the bottom answer as well, I had success by adding 2dp padding (the same width as the border.)

  <LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@drawable/border_listview"
    android:gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:padding="2dp" >

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/listView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:divider="@null"
        android:dividerHeight="0dp" />
</LinearLayout>
