</LinearLayout>

I had used LinearLayout as my parent with vertical orientation now I need to draw vertical lines between 5 cardview that I have used. Please any suggestion will be much helpful

The simple aproach to solve your problem (it's not a perfect solution, but in your case, I think it will be enough):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@color/account_opening_grey_bg">

    <View
        android:layout_widht="1dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="right"
        android:layout_marginRight="56dp"
        android:background="#FF785C"/> 
    <!-- You will need to vary layout_marginRight parameter -->
    <!-- to pick up correct position for asked grey stripe -->
    <!-- I assumed this value as sum of 10(padding of linearlayout), -->
    <!-- 15(margin of image in cardview), 24(half size of image) --> 
    <!-- and 7(margin of cardView), but you can change it, as I said-->

    <LinearLayout ...>
    <!-- paste here your layout but remove background for root LinearLayout-->
</FrameLayout>
