How do I add a vertical separator line between 3 d

Question

I have 3 values displayed consecutively on the screen and I need to add 2-3 vertical separator lines between all of them.The issue is everytime I add a view/ divider between them they shift to the left or right way too much and some values cut off/ disappear. I was wondering if there is a way to go abotu it, below is my xml code for the same:

Do I need to add a layer or something in the background for it to support the same or do I need to change this structure? Thanks! Justin

even after adding android:gravity="center" I still see the same results

Answer 1

Place this in between each value you have mentioned in your question.

<View android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="2px" android:background="#000000"/>

should give you a black bar in between values.

Answer 2

As @Gru says, you can get the black line using a View between layout1 and layout2 and layout2 and layout3.

As you point out, this will be on the left edge of the contents of layout2 and layout3. To separate this out a bit, an easy solution is to add the line:

android:paddingLeft="20dp"

to layout1, layout2 and layout3, whilst removing it from the top LinearLayout. This won't achieve precise centring, but it will give an equal text to left edge for each block, which I think will look about right.
