increase the spacing between items in a List view in android

Question

I am generating a listview as follows:

setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.row, fileListS));

in which "row" is the following xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:padding="10dp"
android:textSize="14sp">
</TextView>

Is there an easy way to increase the spacing between the items lists in the generated listview? If I was using a ListView instead of TextView I guess I could use:

 android:dividerHeight="10.0sp"

But what can I do now that I use TextView?

Thanks,

TJ

padding just increases the size of each box in a listview, I want to increase the height of the divider that divides boxes in the list view. — TJ1, Jul 09 '11 at 21:40

You mean you want to change the thickness of the divider?

If so you could use a drawable similar the issues/solutions here

Maybe a better answer
