Top-most and Bottom-most Horizontal Divider does not show up in ListView

Question

I am using a ListView. But the top-most and bottom-most horizontal bar does not show up. Why? I am using this:

android:divider="@android:drawable/divider_horizontal_bright"

Answer 1

Add a dummy footer and header

listViewContato = (ListView) view.findViewById(R.id.listview_contatos);
listViewContato.addHeaderView(new View(getActivity()));
listViewContato.addFooterView(new View(getActivity()));
