I want to create a table with column dividers. I want to divide my columns with a vertical bar image. To achieve this I have used \"android:divider=\"@drawable/abc\"
It's quite late to answer this question but here is the correct way to it.
For dividers between rows :
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:divider="@color/colorPrimary"
android:showDividers="middle">
and for dividers between columns:
<TableRow
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:divider="@color/colorPrimary"
android:showDividers="middle">
Explaination:
The divider tag in <TableLayout>
is used to place divider between it's direct childrens i.e Rows.
While the divider tag in <TableRow>
is used to place divider between it's direct childrens i.e Columns
Add android:showDividers="middle"
<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:stretchColumns="*"
android:padding="5dip"
android:divider="@drawable/tracking_green"
android:showDividers="middle"
>
try set the second textview marginleft=1dp. if you don't want divider set marginleft = 0dp
In a list with a vertical divider use the ImageView as follows:
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/divider"
android:contentDescription="@string/divider"
android:layout_width="1dp"
android:layout_height="65dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8sp"
android:background="#3B3B3B"
/>
To avoid showing a divider when there aren't elements in the list you can delete the android:background="#3B3B3B"
line and set it programmatically:
((ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.divider)).setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#3B3B3B"));
This is how I did it !

Snapshot
since tablelayout does not provide this directly, one posibble way might be a framelayout. place the desired table above another background_table wich only have one row and "match_parent" for height/width. add 3 columns with desired layout_weights. add vertical divider-imageview to second column. the main table should also use the same layout_weihts +margin in it`s rows to look good.
horizontal divider possibly could be realized by adding an imageview between the "to-be-separated" tablerows.
not tested yet, just an approach
