Top-most and Bottom-most Horizontal Divider does not show up in ListView

Question

I am using a ListView. But the top-most and bottom-most horizontal bar does not show up. Why? I am using this:

android:divider="@android:drawable/divider_horizontal_bright"

Answer 1

Have you looked into setting android:headerDividersEnabled and android:footerDividersEnabled on the ListView?

Also, if you look for drawDivider in platform/frameworks/base/+/master/core/java/android/widger/ListView.java in the Android open source repository, you'll be able to find some more clues.
