How to change color of Android ListView separator line?

Solution 1:

You can set this value in a layout xml file using android:divider="#FF0000". If you are changing the colour/drawable, you have to set/reset the height of the divider too.

<LinearLayout
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content">

  <ListView 
    android:id="@+id/android:list"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:divider="#FFCC00"
    android:dividerHeight="4px"/>

</LinearLayout>

Solution 2:

Or you can code it:

int[] colors = {0, 0xFFFF0000, 0}; // red for the example
myList.setDivider(new GradientDrawable(Orientation.RIGHT_LEFT, colors));
myList.setDividerHeight(1);

Hope it helps

Solution 3:

For a single color line use:

list.setDivider(new ColorDrawable(0x99F10529));   //0xAARRGGBB
list.setDividerHeight(1);

It's important that DividerHeight is set after the divider, else you won't get anything.
