Is it possible to draw two strokes (one after another) for ListView divider?
I've tried the following drawable, but it only shows the first stroke:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="line">
<stroke
android:color="#eeeeee"
/>
<size
android:height="1px"
/>
<stroke
android:color="#c1c1c1"
/>
<size
android:height="1px"
/>
</shape>
Yes, it is possible. If you want to create it with shape drawables, you have to do it differently. A shape drawable can contain just one shape, one line in your case. You can combine two shapes in layer list drawable. Drawable in the layer list are drawn one above another, the last one at the top. To create two lines you just have to set the proper padding for each of the lines, so that both the lines are visible. The resulting drawable will be something like this (I made the lines thicker in the example):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:bottom="2dp">
<shape android:shape="line">
<stroke
android:color="#eeeeee"
android:width="2dp"
/>
<size
android:height="4dp"
/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:top="2dp">
<shape android:shape="line">
<stroke
android:color="#c1c1c1"
android:width="2dp"
/>
<size
android:height="4dp"
/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
If you want the 2 strokes to be really thin, let's say 1px height each, I tried the solution above and I could't make it.
I found it much easier painting a litte image (1x2) with the 2 pixels with the desired colors, and then define the image in the divider doing:
android:divider="@drawable/myTinyDivider"
Hope this helps someone.
