Set drawable for DividerItemDecoration
I'm trying to set my custom drawable (line) for DividerItemDecoration, but with no success. Where is the mistake?
DividerItemDecoration dividerItemDecoration = new DividerItemDecoration(getContext(),
LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL);
dividerItemDecoration.setDrawable(getContext().getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.sk_line_divider));
XML shape:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="line">
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#000000">
</stroke>
</shape>
Solution 1:
Change the shape to rectangle.
Ex:
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<size
android:width="1dp"
android:height="1dp" />
<solid android:color="@color/primary" />
</shape>
Solution 2:
Solution (Programmatically):
If you just want to change the color for the dividers instead of creating a custom drawable you can use a ColorDrawable:
DividerItemDecoration itemDecoration = new DividerItemDecoration(recyclerView.getContext(), DividerItemDecoration.VERTICAL);
itemDecoration.setDrawable(new ColorDrawable(R.color.greycc));
recyclerView.addItemDecoration(itemDecoration);
If the size matters in addition to colors you can use a GradientDrawwable:
DividerItemDecoration itemDecoration = new DividerItemDecoration(recyclerView.getContext(), DividerItemDecoration.VERTICAL);
GradientDrawable drawable = new GradientDrawable(GradientDrawable.Orientation.BOTTOM_TOP, new int[]{0xfff7f7f7, 0xfff7f7f7});
drawable.setSize(1,1);
itemDecoration.setDrawable(drawable);
recyclerView.addItemDecoration(itemDecoration);
Please note that setting the color values in the array requires a full octet of hex values, otherwise incorrect colors will be shown i.e., 0xFF3E3E3E as opposed to 0X3E3E3E.
Solution 3:
If you want to change divider color, you can change it from you AppTheme by adding this line<item name="android:listDivider">@color/your_color</item>
