Answer 1

Set the dividerHeight to zero and divider to null like this in xml:

android:dividerHeight="0dp"
android:divider="@null"

Or in java:

getListView().setDividerHeight(0);
getListView().setDivider(null);

setting null is enough, height setting is redundant – Offutt

Yeap, with divider to null is enough. – Ipsus

I don't really understand where should I call getListView()? – Tracietracing

@Neon - It's when you extend your Activity from ListActivity See here - developer.android.com/reference/android/app/ListActivity.html – Carnify

If you use StickyListHeadersListView, you'll need both, setting to null won't be enough – Obmutescence

Answer 2

Simply put:

android:divider="@null"

Answer 4

You can set divider color as transparent color and divider height in 'ListView' properties to remove the divider like below:

android:divider="#00000000"  
android:dividerHeight="0dp"

This was my first approach, but then I applied the above answer, put to divider to null. – Ipsus

Answer 5

There are different ways to achieve this, but I'm not sure which one is the best (I don't even know is there is a best way). I know at least 2 different ways to do this in a ListView:

1. Set divider to null:

1.1. Programmatically

yourListView.setDivider(null);

1.2. XML

android:divider="@null" (this goes inside your ListView element)

2. Set divider to transparent and set its height to 0 to avoid adding space between listview elements:

2.1. Programmatically:

yourListView.setDivider(new ColorDrawable(android.R.color.transparent));
yourListView.setDividerHeight(0);

2.2. XML

android:divider="@android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"

Ipsus

Setting divider to null is obviously the best one, because it prevents any calculations being made by the system. The other is just a workaround. – Miterwort

Answer 6

Only -1dp helps me to remove divider (not 0, 0.0, @null or the same in code)
