You can do this pretty easily with the modified list view layout. Here's How I implemented:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@android:color/transparent"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <ListView
        android:id="@android:id/list"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:divider="@android:color/transparent"
        android:dividerHeight="10dp" />

</RelativeLayout>

And here is the resulting view:

One thing to note:

This screenshot was taken on an xhdpi device -- you can see an issue with your dashed lines. Consider using a ShapeDrawable instead and specify android:dashGap and android:dashWidth.

Answer 2

use these two lines in your listview in the xml:

 android:divider="@android:color/transparent" 
 android:dividerHeight="10px"

and for your Imageview try these two additions:

 <ImageView
            ...
  android:scaleType="fitCenter"
  android:adjustViewBounds="true"
 />

You are looking for cards style UI as found in Google Now etc. You can use the custom library Cards-UI to get a similar effect. https://github.com/afollestad/Cards-UI
