How to add divider after a certain ListView item similar to Gmail

Question

Similar to how Gmail does it, I would like to add a text divider to my navigation drawer after the (in my case) second item. How can I achieve that? I guess somewhere around

mDrawerAdapter = new DrawerAdapter(this, cursor);

        mDrawerList.post(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                mDrawerList.setAdapter(mDrawerAdapter);
                selectDrawerItem(mCurrentDrawerPos);
            }
        });

, right?

Thanks!

Could you post your menu.xml file ?

Otherwhise to display separator you need to create groups like this :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <group
        android:id="@+id/first_group"
        android:checkableBehavior="single">
        <item
            android:checked="true"
            android:id="@+id/item1"
            android:icon="@drawable/XX"
            android:title="@string/XXX"/>
        <item
            android:id="@+id/item2"
            android:icon="@drawable/XXX"
            android:title="@string/XXX"/>
    </group>

    <group
        android:id="@+id/second_group"
        android:checkableBehavior="none">
        <item
            android:id="@+id/item3"
            android:icon="@drawable/XXX"
            android:title="@string/XXX" >
        </item>
    </group>
</menu>

My menu is still created in code because it is dynamic (RSS reader) – Made by FA Apr 12 '19 at 11:52
How do you initialize your menu ? Do you use addSubMenu() method to set an item? – Kévin Giacomino Apr 12 '19 at 11:56

you can add divider in your layout row and after that in adapter write a condition if position equal to 0 then show View Divider other wise hide divider.. – Hitesh Kushwah Apr 12 '19 at 11:57
@HiteshKushwah This is what I actually figured out a few minutes ago myself and what I am currently working on. Thanks! – Made by FA Apr 12 '19 at 12:02

You have a couple of options form where I sit.

Use a separate layout file for this view which would mean having more than one model type of data backing your Adapter and inflating the correct layout depending on the type. See here
