title: android: adding horizontal line to layout makes it empty
body: <p>adding this to my layout returns an empty layout after I inflate it and add it to another view</p>
  
  <pre><code>  &lt;View 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="1px" 
    android:background="#e0e0e0"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>here's how I inflate it</p>
  
  <pre><code>LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater)getBaseContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
                  View v = vi.inflate(R.layout.stoplistitem, null);
  if(dt != null &amp;&amp; stop.getDescription() != null)
      dt.setText(stop.getDescription());
  if(st != null &amp;&amp; stop.getStreet() != null)
      st.setText(stop.getStreet());
  if(mt != null &amp;&amp; stop.getMunicipal() != null)
      mt.setText(stop.getMunicipal());
  if(idt != null &amp;&amp; stop.getId() != null){
      idt.setText(stop.getId().toString());
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>//edit I can see the view, but there is no content</p>
