I want set only bottom border in relativelayout. I want to dispaly listview style but not using listview. Lets say each listitem is relativlayout. I want set only bottom border so its look like a listview’s divider.

Answer 1

I hope I understood what you said.

in the res folder create a new folder (if you don’t already have it) named drawable

there create an xml named “borders.xml”

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <item android:state_pressed="true"><shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle">
        <gradient android:angle="90" android:centerColor="#6da23f" android:endColor="#8bc45d" android:startColor="#2f481c" />

            <stroke android:width="2dp" android:color="#999999" />

            <padding android:bottom="4dp" android:left="3dp" android:right="3dp" android:top="6dp" />

            <corners android:radius="10px"/>
        </shape>
    </item>
    <item>
        <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle">
            <gradient android:angle="90" android:centerColor="#6da23f" android:endColor="#8bc45d" android:startColor="#4c8a39" />

            <stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#FFFFFF" />

            <padding android:bottom="4dp" android:left="3dp" android:right="3dp" android:top="6dp" />

            <corners android:radius="10px"/>
        </shape>
    </item>
</selector>

You can further edit it as you like.
Then select the layout from the Outline and click Background properties, and select the borders xml that you created.

This will create borders for all 4. Alternatively, you can add a simple

<View android:layout_width="1dip"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="#FFFFFF" />

line and add it to the bottom of your layout and change the color/size to your liking.
