There are many ways we can add a Horizontal line/rule in an Android Layout.xml file. One of the ways is to create a table row with background color and a height of say 1-2dp.

layout.xml
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:text="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit,
sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua."
android:padding="10dp"
android:id="@+id/textView" />
<TableRow
android:id="@+id/hr"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:background="#444"></TableRow>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="10dp"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:text="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit,
sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua."
android:id="@+id/textView2" />
<TableRow
android:id="@+id/hr1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:background="#444"></TableRow>
</LinearLayout>
