Yeah... Saw that.. But was getting a little difficult with it... For instance ive the layout of attached screenshot, and wanted to separate all important labels and make it a more attractive layout basically... Adding lines with b4xcanvas is a bit cumbersome, especially bcoz will need to edit co ordinates for all if i add/delete or resize any controls

You cant add a shape from designer but you can add a shape as view's background.

ShapeDrawable - Clipped rounded rectangle and circle shape

ShapeDrawable Author: @Biswajit Version: 1 ShapeDrawable A drawable that draws shapes. You can draw Arc, Oval, Rectangle, Rounded Rectangle, even a Custom Shape (using Path). The content of the view will be clipped only for rectangle, circle, and rounded rectangle shapes Functions: GetAlpha...

And for a line you can change the width or height of a panel or label and change the background color.
Eg. For horizontal line set the height to 1dip and change the width to whatever you want. For vertical line set the width to 1dip and change the height to whatever you want.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion... Taking hint from your answer, found a workaround.... In designer itself, added labels and set height to 2-4 with black color.. And no text... Result seems decent to me(screenshot). What you guys think? Any major issues with this??

Looks good. But I think its better to use clv for showing this type of data. You can show like
total case xxxxxxxxx (white row)
active case xxxxxxxx (light grey row)
..
..
Clv will automatically add a devider after each row.
Or you can use simple list view as well.

UI plays a massive role in creating user satisfaction that helps increase the number of users.

You should use a panel instead of a label to make a black line.
