一个简单的ItemDecoration实现，所有项目之间的空间相等:

public class SpacesItemDecoration extends RecyclerView.ItemDecoration {
    private int space;

    public SpacesItemDecoration(int space) {
        this.space = space;
    }

    @Override
    public void getItemOffsets(Rect outRect, View view, RecyclerView parent, RecyclerView.State state) {
        outRect.left = space;
        outRect.right = space;
        outRect.bottom = space;

        // Add top margin only for the first item to avoid double space between items
        if(parent.getChildAdapterPosition(view) == 0) {
            outRect.top = space;
        }
    }
}

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>

public class VerticalItemDecoration extends RecyclerView.ItemDecoration {

    private boolean verticalOrientation = true;
    private int space = 10;

    public VerticalItemDecoration(int value, boolean verticalOrientation) {
        this.space = value;
        this.verticalOrientation = verticalOrientation;
    }

    @Override
    public void getItemOffsets(Rect outRect, View view, RecyclerView parent,
                               RecyclerView.State state) {
        // Skip first item in the list
        if (parent.getChildAdapterPosition(view) != 0) {
            if (verticalOrientation) {
                outRect.set(space, 0, 0, 0);
            } else if (!verticalOrientation) {
                outRect.set(0, space, 0, 0);
            }
        }
    }
}

mCompletedShippingRecyclerView.addItemDecoration(new VerticalItemDecoration(20,false));

我认为使用一个简单的分隔器会对你有帮助

为每个项目添加分隔符:

1. 将其添加到可绘制目录line_divider.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<size
    android:width="1dp"
    android:height="1dp" />
<solid android:color="#999999" />
</shape>

2. 创建SimpleDividerItemDecoration类

我用这个例子来定义这个类:

https://gist.github.com/polbins/e37206fbc444207c0e92

package com.example.myapp;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.res.Resources;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable;
import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView;
import android.view.View;
import com.example.myapp.R;

public class SimpleDividerItemDecoration extends RecyclerView.ItemDecoration{
    private Drawable mDivider;

    public SimpleDividerItemDecoration(Resources resources) {
        mDivider = resources.getDrawable(R.drawable.line_divider);
    }

    public void onDrawOver(Canvas c, RecyclerView parent, RecyclerView.State state) {
        int left = parent.getPaddingLeft();
        int right = parent.getWidth() - parent.getPaddingRight();

        int childCount = parent.getChildCount();
        for (int i = 0; i < childCount; i++) {
            View child = parent.getChildAt(i);

            RecyclerView.LayoutParams params = (RecyclerView.LayoutParams) child.getLayoutParams();

            int top = child.getBottom() + params.bottomMargin;
            int bottom = top + mDivider.getIntrinsicHeight();

            mDivider.setBounds(left, top, right, bottom);
            mDivider.draw(c);
        }
    }
}

3.在使用RecyclerView的活动或片段中，在onCreateView中添加以下内容:

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 RecyclerView myRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) layout.findViewById(R.id.my_recycler_view);
 myRecyclerView.addItemDecoration(new SimpleDividerItemDecoration(getResources()));
 ....
 }

4. 添加项目之间的间距

你只需要添加padding属性到你的项目视图

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:padding="4dp"
>
..... item structure
</RelativeLayout>

为了在RecylerView中实现项目之间的间隔，我们可以使用ItemDecorators:

addItemDecoration(object : RecyclerView.ItemDecoration() {

    override fun getItemOffsets(
        outRect: Rect,
        view: View,
        parent: RecyclerView,
        state: RecyclerView.State,
    ) {
        super.getItemOffsets(outRect, view, parent, state)
        if (parent.getChildAdapterPosition(view) > 0) {
            outRect.top = 8.dp // Change this value with anything you want. Remember that you need to convert integers to pixels if you are working with dps :)
        }
    }
})

对于我粘贴的代码，有几件事需要考虑:

You don't really need to call super.getItemOffsets but I chose to, because I want to extend the behavior defined by the base class. If the library got an update doing more logic behind the scenes, we would miss it. As an alternative to adding top spacing to the Rect, you could also add bottom spacing, but the logic related to getting the last item of the adapter is more complex, so this might be slightly better. I used an extension property to convert a simple integer to dps: 8.dp. Something like this might work:

val Int.dp: Int
    get() = (this * Resources.getSystem().displayMetrics.density + 0.5f).toInt()

// Extension function works too, but invoking it would become something like 8.dp()

在v25.0.0支持库中，终于有了基本水平和垂直分隔符的默认实现!
