line

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out how to define a verical line (1px thick) to be used as a drawable.

to make a horizontal one, it's pretty straightforward:

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="line">
    <stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#0000FF"/>
    <size android:height="50dp" />     
</shape>

The question is, how to make this line vertical?

Yes, there are workarounds, such as drawing a rectangle shape 1px thick, but that complicates the drawable xml, if it consists of multiple <item> elements.

Anyone had any chance with this?
