Android: Draw vertical line in a layout

-1

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"

        android:text="text"

        android:textColor="@color/white"/>

</RelativeLayout>

Please help me to draw a line on the left of the layout with auto height

Do you really a drawable xml to draw a vertical line? Because you can also do that with just views...

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

@BinilSurendran If you use <View>, just set the height to match_parent.

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>

Thanks man, I was tried same thing with the parent layout as < Relative Layout>, but as you said after change it to <Linear Layout> it is success.

– Binil Surendran
Nov 22 '18 at 4:22

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.

<LinearLayout

        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

        android:layout_width="match_parent"

        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"
