I was looking for the same issue. I found an easy way to tell the app that a texview is a section separator:

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/address_label"
    style="?android:attr/listSeparatorTextViewStyle"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Address"/>

The line:

style="?android:attr/listSeparatorTextViewStyle"

add the underline to the text and style it accordingli to the defaulf "Separator" theme.

The solution ended up having an includable layout called util_horizontal_line_section.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<View
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="1dip"
    android:background="@color/sectionSeparatorColour"/>

With the sectionSeparatorColour entry in values/colors.xml:

<color name="sectionSeparatorColour">#a0a0a0</color>

Includable via:

<include layout="@layout/util_horizontal_line_section"/>

Try to put this View after the TextView of "phone". In this view I have put in a background color that you can change to your desire. Best of luck.

<View
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="2dip"
    android:background="#FF909090" />

TextView 2dp in height and width = match parent and set the background color as the color you want the line to be.

You can do vertical as well by reversing the two settings.
