android spinner custom rows

I have a Spinner and a SimpleCursorAdapter. For odd/even rows on this spinner i set some color, background, font size. Also in my cursor there is a empty value. For this i want to display just a 5 pixels height line. I do not know how to do this.

Like a example i want something like this

   Row1
   Row2
   Row3
   ----
   Row4
   Row5

Here is my attempt code

public View getDropDownView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View view = super.getDropDownView(position, convertView, parent);
if (position % 2 == 0) {
    view.setBackgroundResource(R.layout.dropdown_selector_odd);
} else {
    view.setBackgroundResource(R.layout.dropdown_selector_even);
}
TextView text = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.spinner_item_name);
String driverSpinnerRow = text.getText().toString();
if (driverSpinnerRow.trim().length() == 0) {
    // Here must add this line
    text.setHeight(5);
}
return view;
}

Can someone help me?

Solution

  • This is what you need. Instead of images, suppose that are lines, and instead of setting the source of the image, set visible/invisible to the lines.

    Here is a similar tutorial about how to create a custom layout for the rows. Add the 5 pixels height line to the row layout and set it to be invisible. Then in the adapter set it to visible when needed. This ListView tutorial may help to create a custom adapter.
