How to set divider between columns in tablelayout?

I want to create a table with column dividers. I want to divide my columns with a vertical bar image. To achieve this I have used "android:divider="@drawable/abc" but its not working. Below is my xml file for same:

 <TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  android:orientation="horizontal" 
   android:stretchColumns="*"
    android:padding="5dip"
android:divider="@drawable/tracking_green"
>
<TableRow  >

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/retaileritem1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:text="xxxxxxx" />

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/retaileritem2"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:text="xxxxxxx" />

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/retailerimage1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:src="@drawable/tracking_green" />

It's quite late to answer this question but here is the correct way to it.

For dividers between rows :

<TableLayout
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:divider="@color/colorPrimary"
    android:showDividers="middle">

and for dividers between columns:

<TableRow
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:divider="@color/colorPrimary"
    android:showDividers="middle">

Explaination:

The divider tag in <TableLayout> is used to place divider between it's direct childrens i.e Rows.

While the divider tag in <TableRow> is used to place divider between it's direct childrens i.e Columns
