Adding blank spaces to layout

Question

I am trying to make empty lines within android. This is what I have been doing:

android:layout_width=\"fill_parent\" 
android:layout_height=\"wrap_content\" 
an         


        

Answer 1

<View
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="30dp"
    android:background="#80000000">
</View>

Answer 2

The previous answers didn't work in my case. However, creating an empty item in the menu does.

<menu xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  ...
  <item />
  ...
</menu>

Answer 3

View if you need change background color , Space if not .

that dosent mean you have to change view background .

<View
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="20dp"
    android:background="@color/YOUR_BACKGROUND">
</View>

or Space

<Space
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="20dp"
         />

Answer 4

Below is the simple way to create blank line with line size. Here we can adjust size of the blank line. Try this one.

           <TextView
            android:id="@id/textView"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:textSize="5dp"/>

Answer 5

Agree with all the answers......also,

    <TextView android:text=""
              android:layout_width="match_parent"
              android:layout_height="30dp"
              android:layout_weight="2" />

should work :) I am just messing with others as TextView is my favourite (waste of memory though!)

Answer 6

An updated Answer: Since API 14, you can use "Space" View, as described in the documentation.

Space is a lightweight View subclass that may be used to create gaps between components in general purpose layouts.
