Android navigation drawer - remove the horizontal bars separating each item

Question

I'm trying to remove or set transparent the horizontal bars separating each item in the navigation drawer menu.

Here is a screenshot from my app:

I want to remove or set same color as background color or set as transparent those horizontal grey bars.

Here's my XML code:

custom_drawer_item.xml

<.?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<.RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"

<!-- Accounts -->

    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginTop="0dp"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:divider="@android:color/transparent" >

    <Spinner
        android:id="@+id/drawerSpinner"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1" />
</LinearLayout>

<LinearLayout

        <!-- Menu Items -->
        <TextView

            android:textColor="#4bb5c1"
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" 
        />
    </LinearLayout>

        android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="0dp" 
        android:divider="@android:color/transparent">

drawer_layout.xml

    android:contentDescription="descri imagem"
    android:paddingBottom="10dp"
    android:paddingLeft="10dp"
    android:paddingRight="10dp"
    android:paddingTop="10dp" />

<./RelativeLayout>

PS; Don't mind the . (dot) in the xml code, it's there just to enforce SO to show those lines otherwise for some reason those lines wouldn't be shown in my question.

Thanks!

Answer 1

in your layout of activity that contains navigation drawer in the listview put these lines

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

Answer 2

try to customize your items' background by setting a custom drawable:

1/ create a little file in your res/drawable : white_empty_background.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle" >
    <solid android:color="@android:color/white" />

</shape>

2/ in your item's layout set this drawable as background.

Answer 3

remove

<View
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="1dp"
    android:layout_marginBottom="0dp"
    android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="0dp" 
    android:divider="@android:color/transparent">
</View>

from your xml and then try it, must work
