This is my layou

Answer 1

If the answer of Kapil Vats is not working try something like this:

drawable/divider_horizontal_green_22.xml

layout/your_layout.xml

LinearLayout 
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/llTopBar"
            android:orientation="horizontal"
            android:divider="@drawable/divider_horizontal_green_22"
            android:showDividers="middle"
           >

I encountered an issue where the padding attribute wasn't working, thus I had to set the height of the divider directly in the divider.

Note:

If you want to use it in vertical LinearLayout, make a new one, like this: drawable/divider_vertical_green_22.xml
