<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
       android:shape="line">
    <stroke
        android:width="1dp"
        android:color="#ff0000"
        android:dashWidth="4dp"
        android:dashGap="4dp"/>
</shape>

vertical_dashed_line.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rotate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:fromDegrees="90"
