I had the same problem. I am using ActionBarSherlock and was able to fix this with Styles and Themes .
First I added this to my .xml topics:
<style name="Theme.Base" parent="@style/Theme.Sherlock.Light.DarkActionBar"> ... <item name="android:listViewStyle">@style/ListViewStyle.MyApp</item> ... </style>
This tells SherlockListFragment use my own style for ListView . Then I added this style to my styles. Xml:
<style name="ListViewStyle.MyApp" parent="android:Widget.ListView"> ... <item name="android:paddingLeft">0dp</item> ... </style>
You can also try one of the following options:
<item name="android:layout_marginLeft">0dp</item> <item name="android:padding">0dp</item>
Pointing ListView to my custom style fixed the issue for me. Essentially, setting styles in ListView widgets should do the trick.
