How to put a horizontal divisor line between edit text's in a activity

I'm making an activity to configure my app, and I have to divide the sections of my configuration window with a line. I used this: divider_horizontal_bright, from this example:

http://android.cryx.li/doku.php?id=know:settings:start

However it doesn't work! When I test on my android phone, it doesn't show a horizontal line. Why?

I am using Android 2.1

Try this link.... horizontal rule

That should do the trick.

The code below is xml.

<View
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="2dip"
    android:background="#FF00FF00" />

If this didn't work:

  <ImageView
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:paddingTop="10px"
    android:paddingBottom="5px"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:src="@android:drawable/divider_horizontal_bright" />

Try this raw View:

<View
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="1dip"
    android:background="#000000" />

For only one line, you need

...
<View android:id="@+id/primerdivisor"
android:layout_height="2dp"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:background="#ffffff" /> 
...

How about defining your own view? I have used the class below, using a LinearLayout around a view whose background color is set. This allows me to pre-define layout parameters for it. If you don't need that just extend View and set the background color instead.

public class HorizontalRulerView extends LinearLayout {

	static final int COLOR = Color.DKGRAY;
	static final int HEIGHT = 2;
	static final int VERTICAL_MARGIN = 10;
	static final int HORIZONTAL_MARGIN = 5;
	static final int TOP_MARGIN = VERTICAL_MARGIN;
	static final int BOTTOM_MARGIN = VERTICAL_MARGIN;
	static final int LEFT_MARGIN = HORIZONTAL_MARGIN;
	static final int RIGHT_MARGIN = HORIZONTAL_MARGIN;

	public HorizontalRulerView(Context context) {
		this(context, null);
	}

	public HorizontalRulerView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
		this(context, attrs, android.R.attr.textViewStyle);
	}

	public HorizontalRulerView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
		super(context, attrs, defStyle);
		setOrientation(VERTICAL);
		View v = new View(context);
		v.setBackgroundColor(COLOR);
		LayoutParams lp = new LayoutParams(
			LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
			HEIGHT
		);
		lp.topMargin = TOP_MARGIN;
		lp.bottomMargin = BOTTOM_MARGIN;
		lp.leftMargin = LEFT_MARGIN;
		lp.rightMargin = RIGHT_MARGIN;
		addView(v, lp);
	}
	
}

Use it programmatically or in Eclipse (Custom & Library Views -- just pull it into your layout).

Use This..... You will love it

 <TextView
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="1px"
    android:text=" "
    android:background="#anycolor"
    android:id="@+id/textView"/>
