How to give empty space between rows of listview?

Question

In my application I have a requirement of listview with empty spaces between rows of list.So that I can give background to each row and it will look something like blocks of row

Answer 1

I had the same problem except I needed to set the divider programatically because the view was dynamically generated. I'm posting this answer because it was my first google hit for future reference.

You need a custom Drawable.
Create a new file with the following code:
drawable/list_divider.xml

Inside your java code you need to get a reference to your ListView and set the divider like this:

listView.setDivider(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.list_divider));

The result is exactly the same.
