How do I remove lines between ListViews on Android?

Question

I'm using two ListViews like this:

<ListView
   android:id="@+id/ListView"
   android:text="@string/Website"
   android:layout_height="30px"
   android:layout_width="150px"
   android:scrollbars="none"
   android:transcriptMode="normal"/>
<ListView
   android:id="@+id/ListView1"
   android:text="@string/Website"
   android:layout_height="30px"
   android:layout_width="150px"
   android:scrollbars="none"
   android:transcriptMode="normal"/>

There is one blank line between the two ListViews. How do I remove it?

Answer 1

To remove the separator between items in the same ListView, here is the solution:

getListView().setDivider(null);
getListView().setDividerHeight(0);

developer.android.com # ListView

Or, if you want to do it in XML:

android:divider="@null"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"

Answer 2

1. If you want to remove a divider line, use this code:

   android:divider="@null"
   

2. If you want to add a space instead of a divider line:

   android:divider="@android:color/transparent"
   android:dividerHeight="5dp"
   

So, you can use any drawable or color in the divider attribute.

Answer 3

There are different ways to achieve this, but I'm not sure which one is the best (I don't even know is there is a best way). I know at least two different ways to do this in a ListView:

1. Set divider to null:

1.1. Programmatically

yourListView.setDivider(null);

1.2. XML

This goes inside your ListView element.

android:divider="@null"

2. Set divider to transparent and set its height to 0 to avoid adding space between listview elements:

2.1. Programmatically:

yourListView.setDivider(new ColorDrawable(android.R.color.transparent));
yourListView.setDividerHeight(0);

2.2. XML

android:divider="@android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"
