Question

I am creating a listiview programmatically. I keep a divider between listview elements.
I wish to keep a transparent divider because I have a background image to be shown. I have tried the following code which does not work. Kindly help

setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,R.layout.news,news));

ListView lv=getListView();

ColorDrawable sage= new ColorDrawable(this.getResources().getColor(Color.TRANSPARENT));

lv.setDivider(sage);

lv.setDividerHeight(20);

Answer 1

Try this:

color.xml: (res > values > color.xml)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <drawable name="transperent_color">#00000000</drawable>    
</resources>

Now,use it like:

setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,R.layout.news,news));
ListView lv=getListView();
lv.setDivider(this.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.transperent_color));
lv.setDividerHeight(20);
