Android : How to add a partial border?

I am working on an Android application in which I have a ListView for which I would like to add a border for each row in ListView. Generally adding a border shouldn't be a problem, but the border in design specifications is just half. How can I do that? Check out the screenshot :

As you can see the grey line, that is the border which is not touching end of the screen.

Code :

<?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="match_parent"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/conversationList"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_above="@+id/relativeLayout3"
        />

    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
        android:background="@color/common_signin_btn_dark_text_default"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:id="@+id/relativeLayout3">

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/trashImage"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            android:layout_marginLeft="46dp"
            android:layout_marginStart="46dp"
            android:src="@drawable/swappossible" />

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/swapImage"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignTop="@+id/trashImage"
            android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
            android:src="@drawable/footerheart" />

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/button3"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
            android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
            android:layout_alignTop="@+id/swapImage"
            android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"
            android:layout_marginEnd="41dp"
            android:layout_marginRight="41dp"
            android:src="@drawable/footermessages" />
    </RelativeLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

Updated code

Below is the code for individual rows in ListView.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:padding="5dip"
    android:background="@color/common_action_bar_splitter"

    >

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
        android:layout_marginStart="5dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
        android:layout_marginEnd="5dp"
        >

        <RelativeLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="150dp"
            >

To use a custom separator, you can add a View to the bottom of your list item xml:

<View background="#555555" height="1dp" width="match_parent" margin="5dp"/>

Adjust a color, size and margins for your requirements.

To remove a default system divider, use

<ListView
    android:divider="@null"
    ...
/>

Add the following given below at the bottom of your list item layout.

<View
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="5dp"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:background="#d7d7d7"/>

or you can use recylerview like this

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
        android:id="@+id/recycler_view"
        android:scrollbars="vertical"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

and please add the following in your build.gradle

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.1.1'
}
