Why LinearLayout's margin is being ignored if used as ListView row view

Question

I was wondering, if I merely provide a single layer of LinearLayout as ListView\'s row view, its margin will be ignored.

Margin will be ignored if used

Answer 1

when you use a sigle layout this means this is your window if you apply margin on it then you'll asking for the margin of that amount from your parent view but we don't have parent view so margin won't work. on second place there is parent view and margin will help for internal view but not for external.
