Question

It’s pritty hard to explain what I like to have. In my Layout I got a horizontal LinearLayout.
Now I’d like to know if its possible to create a thin border around it. For example take a look at the ListView, there it also haves those thin borders, I exactly like to have that in my LinearLayout.

I hope you understood me, if you need more information write a comment below.
Thx in advance

Additional Information:
If you take a look at the screenshot you see there those redlines, exactly there i’d like to have those thin borders, like in my Listview up there! Under the screenshot you also find the code of the layout.

Code

What I understood from your question is that it actually might require setting the background of your layout.

This can be done by creating your own border.xml. Here is somewhat similar question answering what you need.
