I am trying to draw vertical line in a row layout of the list (Recycler View). The line should be align left of the layout with margin left 20dp and the line height should be auto, when the content of the row layout increasse the vertical line align that align left of the layout also should increase.



I tried to add line by drawing the vertical line in drawable folder and add it to the background of the layout. But the problem is line comes only as the half



Draw able : vertical_line.xml



<rotate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:fromDegrees="90"
android:toDegrees="90"
android:pivotX="10">
<shape
android:shape="line">
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#ff00ff"
/>
</shape>




Layout



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@color/black_two">

<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="25dp"
android:background="@drawable/vertical_line"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="100dp"

  • Your parent RelativeLayout height is "wrap_content " change it to "match_parent" so that it will draw a line on the whole screen

You can use View for vertical line instead of a shape:



<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">

<View
android:layout_width="1dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:background="#ff00ff"/>

<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:text="text"
android:textColor="@color/white"/>
</LinearLayout>

  • You're welcome. If you change the TextView height to wrap_content, it will still work - the View height will be adjusted to match its parent, which is affected by the TextView.
