Gray line under each item in the ListView

In my ListView I had to add the attribute android:divider="@null" in order to remove the divider that supposedly appears by default.

<ListView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:id="@android:id/list"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/inbox_vertical_margin"
    android:clipToPadding="false"
    android:divider="@null"
    />

Hey Luis! Could you provide a screenshot and I'll take a look? :)

Hi Harry! After moving to the next lesson I noticed that Ben fixed the problem. I just leave this note here for the next person if they wonder why they see a gray line under each item on the list. Thank you for your time!

Ah! Sorry!

I thought you were meaning that once you added that line you got the grey lines (That's why I asked for a screenshot - I've never seen that happen before in an XML file).

And yes, please add tips like this onto the forums! Me and many other users check the Questions tab first when there's a problem so it's a great way to share your fixes! :)
