Answer 1

if you specify attribute dividerHeight in ListView

<ListView android:dividerHeight="0.0px" android:id="@+id/listview" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

in layout xml it is not working for Android 2.2 for some reason Google groups say that it will be fixed in next cupcake

function ListView.setDividerHeight(0) works fine

Answer 2

It is probably coming from the divider of ListView. Check out and play with setting

setDividerHeight(0) 

as well as check header/footer dividers are off or use

setFooterDividersEnabled(false)

You can also set these in xml of course. e.g.

android:dividerHeight="0"

Answer 3

The problem is not the divider.

I was also looking for a solution to this and I found one :

You can do your own theme with this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>

    <style name="Theme" parent="android:Theme">
        <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
        <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
    </style>

</resources>

And setting the theme to your manifest xml file and it works.

The windowContentOverlay to null fix the problem.
