How can i give padding to list item as i show in image. I want to make the divider in the layout as shown in the image.

this is my list fragment code

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_marginLeft="25dp"
android:layout_marginRight="25dp">


<ListView
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight"

In your listitem give the paddingtop to the main layout as

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
android:padding="10dp"
....// Remaining fields
>
... //Remaining items
</LinearLayout>

set your list item divider height and color:

<ListView
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:id="@+id/listV_main"
android:layout_marginLeft="25dp"
android:layout_marginRight="25dp"
android:divider="@android:color/darker_gray"
android:dividerHeight="1dp"/>

You need padding for dividers? Create your custom drawable-shape as:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >


<item
android:left="10dp"
android:right="10dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="@android:color/black" />
</shape>
</item>


</layer-list>

And set as divider for your ListView in xml:

<ListView
android:dividerHeight="2dp"
android:divider="@drawable/custom_divider"
...
/>

UPD

I just have ListView in xml:

<ListView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@android:id/list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:dividerHeight="2dp"
android:divider="@drawable/line"
/>

Divider as line.xml in drawable:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item
android:left="10dp"
android:right="10dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="@android:color/black" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>

Do not make any modifications on the ListView in code. You can try to use Clean if resources are wrong builded.

Use 'inset'.....

(list_divider.xml)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<inset xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:insetLeft="50dp"
android:insetRight="50dp" >


<shape>
<solid android:color="@color/orange" />
<corners android:radius="2.0dip" />
</shape>


</inset>

and in your list view add like this...

<ListView
android:dividerHeight="2dp"
android:divider="@drawable/list_divider"
...
/>

you can set the inset value as desired...

UPDATE

As pointed out by @Giulio Piancastelli , If the background of list container is different from background of list item then you may use 'layer-list'...

(list_divider.xml)

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="@color/list_background" />
</shape>
</item>




<item
android:left="10dp"
android:right="10dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="@color/divider_color"/>
</shape>
</item>


</layer-list>

and in your list view add like this...

<ListView
android:dividerHeight="2dp"
android:divider="@drawable/list_divider"
...
/>

As @Giulio Piancastelli mentioned under @ASP answer, the <inset> fails when the background colour of the list container is not the same as the rows inside the list. One solution is to use <layer-list> like below:

//This item is to overlay the container colour with the row background colour
<item
android:left="0dp"
android:right="0dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="@color/row_background" />
</shape>
</item>


//This item is the divider, put it at bottom so it will overlay the background colour
<item
android:left="92dp"
android:right="0dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="@color/divider
</shape>
</item>

Then you can set it as divider as most answers suggest:

<ListView
android:dividerHeight="2dp"
android:divider="@drawable/layer_list"
...
/>

this should be alternative solution for this question:

<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:background="color/secondary_text"
android:layout_marginTop="16dp" />
