Top-most and Bottom-most Horizontal Divider does not show up in ListView

Question

I am using a ListView. But the top-most and bottom-most horizontal bar does not show up. Why? I am using this:

android:divider=\"@android:drawable/divider_horiz         


        

Answer 1

Here's how I implemented it... Bottom divider shows up after setting android:paddingBottom for the ListView. BUT in my case after setting android:paddingTop top and bottom dividers are not showing. I don't know why. So I added in my list_item_layout.xml the following code:

and in my adapter I just changing the visibility of this view:

View topDivider = v.findViewById(R.id.divider);

if (position == 0) {
    topDivider.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
} else {
    topDivider.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}

Hope this will helpfull to someone.
