I am currently using RelativeLayout as the Root Element, and for each row, I am applying a horizontal LinearLayout followed by a vertical LinearLayout. Based on my current layout, can I receive assistance on how to place the divider lines on my interface, much like the provided picture?
Thank you!

First of all, I would recomend you to use RecyclerView with GridLayoutManager for this purpose. creating recyclerview with gridmanager

but if you want stick with current design, you add line by creating a View in xml

For Vertical line

<View
    android:layout_width="2dp" //thickness 
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@color/colorPrimary" />

For Horizontal line

<View
        android:layout_width="match_parent"  
        android:layout_height="2dp"//thickness
        android:background="@color/colorPrimary" />

for shading colors you should look for something like Gradient in android. How ro create Gradient in android

code looks like this.

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
