如果有人只想在项目之间添加10dp的间距，你可以通过设置一个drawable到DividerItemDecoration来实现:

DividerItemDecoration dividerItemDecoration = new DividerItemDecoration(
    recyclerView.getContext(),
    layoutManager.getOrientation()
);

dividerItemDecoration.setDrawable(
    ContextCompat.getDrawable(getContext(), R.drawable.divider_10dp)
);

recyclerView.addItemDecoration(dividerItemDecoration);

其中，divider_10dpis一个可绘制资源，包含:

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle">
    <size android:height="10dp"/>
    <solid android:color="@android:color/transparent"/>
</shape>

如果有人想为spaceBetween, paddingLeft, paddingTop, paddingRight和paddingBottom设置不同的值。

class ItemPaddingDecoration(
    private val spaceBetween: Int,
    private val paddingLeft: Int = spaceBetween,
    private val paddingTop: Int = spaceBetween,
    private val paddingRight: Int = spaceBetween,
    private val paddingBottom: Int = spaceBetween
) : RecyclerView.ItemDecoration() {

    override fun getItemOffsets(outRect: Rect, view: View, parent: RecyclerView, state: RecyclerView.State) {
        val position = parent.getChildAdapterPosition(view)
        val orientation = when (val layoutManager = parent.layoutManager) {
            is LinearLayoutManager -> {
                layoutManager.orientation
            }
            is GridLayoutManager -> {
                layoutManager.orientation
            }
            else -> {
                RecyclerView.HORIZONTAL
            }
        }
        if (orientation == RecyclerView.HORIZONTAL) {
            when {
                position == 0 -> {
                    outRect.set(paddingLeft, paddingTop, spaceBetween, paddingBottom)
                }
                position < parent.adapter!!.itemCount - 1 -> {
                    outRect.set(0, paddingTop, spaceBetween, paddingBottom)
                }
                else -> {
                    outRect.set(0, paddingTop, paddingRight, paddingBottom)
                }
            }
        } else {
            when {
                position == 0 -> {
                    outRect.set(paddingLeft, paddingTop, paddingRight, paddingBottom)
                }
                position < parent.adapter!!.itemCount - 1 -> {
                    outRect.set(paddingLeft, 0, paddingRight, spaceBetween)
                }
                else -> {
                    outRect.set(paddingLeft, 0, paddingRight, paddingBottom)
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

从谷歌搜索，添加这个ItemDecoration到你的RecyclerView:

public class DividerItemDecoration extends RecyclerView.ItemDecoration {

    private Drawable mDivider;
    private boolean mShowFirstDivider = false;
    private boolean mShowLastDivider = false;


    public DividerItemDecoration(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        final TypedArray a = context
                .obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, new int[]{android.R.attr.listDivider});
        mDivider = a.getDrawable(0);
        a.recycle();
    }

    public DividerItemDecoration(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, boolean showFirstDivider,
                                 boolean showLastDivider) {
        this(context, attrs);
        mShowFirstDivider = showFirstDivider;
        mShowLastDivider = showLastDivider;
    }

    public DividerItemDecoration(Drawable divider) {
        mDivider = divider;
    }

    public DividerItemDecoration(Drawable divider, boolean showFirstDivider,
                                 boolean showLastDivider) {
        this(divider);
        mShowFirstDivider = showFirstDivider;
        mShowLastDivider = showLastDivider;
    }

    @Override
    public void getItemOffsets(Rect outRect, View view, RecyclerView parent,
                               RecyclerView.State state) {

        super.getItemOffsets(outRect, view, parent, state);
        if (mDivider == null) {
            return;
        }
        if (parent.getChildPosition(view) < 1) {
            return;
        }

        if (getOrientation(parent) == LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL) {
            outRect.top = mDivider.getIntrinsicHeight();
        } else {
            outRect.left = mDivider.getIntrinsicWidth();
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onDrawOver(Canvas c, RecyclerView parent, RecyclerView.State state) {
        if (mDivider == null) {
            super.onDrawOver(c, parent, state);
            return;
        }

        // Initialization needed to avoid compiler warning
        int left = 0, right = 0, top = 0, bottom = 0, size;
        int orientation = getOrientation(parent);
        int childCount = parent.getChildCount();

        if (orientation == LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL) {
            size = mDivider.getIntrinsicHeight();
            left = parent.getPaddingLeft();
            right = parent.getWidth() - parent.getPaddingRight();
        } else { // Horizontal
            size = mDivider.getIntrinsicWidth();
            top = parent.getPaddingTop();
            bottom = parent.getHeight() - parent.getPaddingBottom();
        }

        for (int i = mShowFirstDivider ? 0 : 1; i < childCount; i++) {
            View child = parent.getChildAt(i);
            RecyclerView.LayoutParams params = (RecyclerView.LayoutParams) child.getLayoutParams();

            if (orientation == LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL) {
                top = child.getTop() - params.topMargin;
                bottom = top + size;
            } else { // Horizontal
                left = child.getLeft() - params.leftMargin;
                right = left + size;
            }
            mDivider.setBounds(left, top, right, bottom);
            mDivider.draw(c);
        }

        // Show the last divider
        if (mShowLastDivider && childCount > 0) {
            View child = parent.getChildAt(childCount - 1);
            RecyclerView.LayoutParams params = (RecyclerView.LayoutParams) child.getLayoutParams();
            if (orientation == LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL) {
                top = child.getBottom() + params.bottomMargin;
                bottom = top + size;
            } else { // hHorizontal
                left = child.getRight() + params.rightMargin;
                right = left + size;
            }
            mDivider.setBounds(left, top, right, bottom);
            mDivider.draw(c);
        }
    }

    private int getOrientation(RecyclerView parent) {
        if (parent.getLayoutManager() instanceof LinearLayoutManager) {
            LinearLayoutManager layoutManager = (LinearLayoutManager) parent.getLayoutManager();
            return layoutManager.getOrientation();
        } else {
            throw new IllegalStateException(
                "DividerItemDecoration can only be used with a LinearLayoutManager.");
        }
    }
}

以下是我的偷懒方法，但它很有效: 将CardView包装在一个布局中，并在父布局上设置一个填充/边距来模拟分隔符，并强制将普通分隔符设置为null。

文件list_item.xml

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/entry_item_layout_container"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:paddingBottom="<divider_size>" > // This is the divider
    <CardView
        android:layout_width="<width_size>"
        android:layout_height="<height_size>">
        ...
    </CardView>
</LinearLayout

文件list.xml

<RecyclerView
    android:divider="@null"
    android:layout_width="<width_size>"
    android:layout_height="<height_size>"
    ...
/>

这是我在Kotlin中为列显示(网格)所做的

  class ItemDecorationColumns(private val space: Int) : ItemDecoration() {

    override fun getItemOffsets(
        outRect: Rect,
        view: View,
        parent: RecyclerView,
        state: RecyclerView.State
    ) {
        val position = parent.getChildLayoutPosition(view)
        val manager = parent.layoutManager as GridLayoutManager?
        val spanCount = manager?.spanCount ?: 0

        if (position < spanCount) {
            outRect.top = space
        }

        if (position % 2 != 0) {
            outRect.right = space
        }
        outRect.left = space
        outRect.bottom = space
    }
}

使用

rvAlbums.addItemDecoration(ItemDecorationColumns(resources.getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.space)))

RecyclerView和ListView有点不同。实际上，RecyclerView需要一个类似ListView的结构。例如，线性布局。LinearLayout有用于划分每个元素的参数。

在下面的代码中，我有一个RecyclerView由一个线性布局中的CardView对象组成，其中有一个“填充”，将在项目之间放置一些空间。把空间缩小，就能得到一条线。

下面是recyclerview_layout.xml文件中的Recycler视图:

<RelativeLayout 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" tools:context=".ToDoList">

    <!-- A RecyclerView with some commonly used attributes -->
    <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
        android:id="@+id/todo_recycler_view"
        android:scrollbars="vertical"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

</RelativeLayout>

这里是每个项目看起来像(它显示为分割由于android:填充在线性布局包围一切)在另一个文件:cards_layout.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"

    **android:padding="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"**>

    <!-- A CardView that contains a TextView -->
    <android.support.v7.widget.CardView
        xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        android:id="@+id/card_view"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="100dp"
        android:elevation="30dp"
        card_view:cardElevation="3dp">
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/info_text"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
        />
    </android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
</LinearLayout>
