Basically the idea is to include the separator into the layout for the gallery items, e.g:

<View android:id="@+id/separator" android:background="#000" 
    android:layout_height="80dip"
    android:layout_marginLeft="5sp" android:layout_marginRight="15sp" 
    android:layout_width="3sp" 
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"></View>

<RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/RelativeLayout01" android:layout_width="100dip"
    android:layout_toRightOf="@id/separator" 
    android:layout_height="80dip" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <ImageView android:id="@+id/imageView" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:scaleType="centerInside"></ImageView>
</RelativeLayout>

Then, in your SimpleAdapter-derived class, hide the separator for the item with position 0:

    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

        View view = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
        View separator = view.findViewById(R.id.separator);
        if ( separator != null)
            separator.setVisibility(position == 0 ? View.GONE : View.VISIBLE);
        return view;
    }

Set the gallery spacing such that it corresponds nicely with the margins set to the separator in the layout.
