Set background ListView

We want to set bacground for ListView like this.

Create a xml file name back.xml in folder drawable.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    android:shape="rectangle">

    <gradient

        android:startColor="#EFEFEF"

        android:endColor="#989898"

        android:type="linear"

        android:angle="270"

    />

</shape>

In folder layout, create a xml file name li2.xml to set color string.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

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

    android:layout_width="match_parent"

    android:layout_height="42sp" 

    android:background="@drawable/back" 

    android:orientation="horizontal" > 

    <TextView

        android:id="@+id/text"

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:layout_centerVertical="true"

        android:layout_marginLeft="5sp"       

        android:textColor="#0000aa"

        android:textSize="18sp" />

    <ImageView

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"

        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"

        android:layout_centerVertical="true"

        android:layout_marginRight="10dp"

        android:contentDescription="@null"
