android listview item height
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" seemed no effect.
android:minHeight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight" changed the height for me
The trick for me was not setting the height -- but instead setting the minHeight. This must be applied to the root view of whatever layout your custom adapter is using to render each row.
You need to use padding on the list item layout so space is added on the edges of the item (just increasing the font size won't do that).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><TextView android:id="@+id/text1" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:padding="8dp" />
