RecyclerViews支持ItemDecoration的概念:围绕每个元素的特殊偏移和绘图。从这个答案中可以看出，你可以使用

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.getChildLayoutPosition(view) == 0) {
        outRect.top = space;
    } else {
        outRect.top = 0;
    }
  }
}

然后通过

mRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.my_recycler_view);
int spacingInPixels = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.spacing);
mRecyclerView.addItemDecoration(new SpacesItemDecoration(spacingInPixels));

对于这个问题，有一个非常简单而灵活的解决方案，它只使用适用于每个LayoutManager的XML。

假设你想要一个相等的X间距(例如8dp)。

在另一个布局中包装CardView项 给外层布局填充X/2 (4dp) 使外层布局背景透明

...

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="200dp"
    android:layout_height="200dp"
    android:background="@android:color/transparent"
    android:padding="4dip">

    <android.support.v7.widget.CardView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">
    </android.support.v7.widget.CardView>

</LinearLayout>

给你的RecyclerView填充X/2 (4dp)

...

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:padding="4dp" />

就是这样。你有完美的X (8dp)间距。

下面的代码工作得很好，每个列都有相同的宽度:

public class GridSpacingItemDecoration extends RecyclerView.ItemDecoration {

    private int spanCount;
    private int spacing;
    private boolean includeEdge;

    public GridSpacingItemDecoration(int spanCount, int spacing, boolean includeEdge) {
        this.spanCount = spanCount;
        this.spacing = spacing;
        this.includeEdge = includeEdge;
    }

    @Override
    public void getItemOffsets(Rect outRect, View view, RecyclerView parent, RecyclerView.State state) {
        int position = parent.getChildAdapterPosition(view); // item position
        int column = position % spanCount; // item column

        if (includeEdge) {
            outRect.left = spacing - column * spacing / spanCount; // spacing - column * ((1f / spanCount) * spacing)
            outRect.right = (column + 1) * spacing / spanCount; // (column + 1) * ((1f / spanCount) * spacing)

            if (position < spanCount) { // top edge
                outRect.top = spacing;
            }
            outRect.bottom = spacing; // item bottom
        } else {
            outRect.left = column * spacing / spanCount; // column * ((1f / spanCount) * spacing)
            outRect.right = spacing - (column + 1) * spacing / spanCount; // spacing - (column + 1) * ((1f /    spanCount) * spacing)
            if (position >= spanCount) {
                outRect.top = spacing; // item top
            }
        }
    }
}

使用

1. 没有优势

int spanCount = 3; // 3 columns
int spacing = 50; // 50px
boolean includeEdge = false;
recyclerView.addItemDecoration(new GridSpacingItemDecoration(spanCount, spacing, includeEdge));

2. 与边缘

int spanCount = 3; // 3 columns
int spacing = 50; // 50px
boolean includeEdge = true;
recyclerView.addItemDecoration(new GridSpacingItemDecoration(spanCount, spacing, includeEdge));

如果你想在所有设备中固定你的RecyclerView项的大小。你可以这样做

public class GridSpacingItemDecoration extends RecyclerView.ItemDecoration {

    private int mSpanCount;
    private float mItemSize;

    public GridSpacingItemDecoration(int spanCount, int itemSize) {
        this.mSpanCount = spanCount;
        mItemSize = itemSize;
    }

    @Override
    public void getItemOffsets(final Rect outRect, final View view, RecyclerView parent,
            RecyclerView.State state) {
        final int position = parent.getChildLayoutPosition(view);
        final int column = position % mSpanCount;
        final int parentWidth = parent.getWidth();
        int spacing = (int) (parentWidth - (mItemSize * mSpanCount)) / (mSpanCount + 1);
        outRect.left = spacing - column * spacing / mSpanCount;
        outRect.right = (column + 1) * spacing / mSpanCount;

        if (position < mSpanCount) {
            outRect.top = spacing;
        }
        outRect.bottom = spacing;
    }
}

recyclerview_item.xml

<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="@dimen/recycler_view_item_width" 
    ...
    >
    ...
</LinearLayout>

dimens.xml

 <dimen name="recycler_view_item_width">60dp</dimen>

活动

int numberOfColumns = 3;
mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(new GridLayoutManager(this, numberOfColumns));
mRecyclerView.setAdapter(...);
mRecyclerView.addItemDecoration(new GridSpacingItemDecoration(3,
        getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.recycler_view_item_width)));

对于StaggeredGridLayoutManager用户，要小心，这里有很多答案，包括投票最多的一个计算项目列，使用以下代码:

int column = position % spanCount

假设第1 /3 /5 /..物品总是放在左边和第二/第四/第六/..物品总是放在右边。这个假设总是正确的吗?不。

假设你的第一件物品是100dp高，第二件只有50dp高，猜猜你的第三件物品位于哪里，左边还是右边?

Yqritc的回答非常适合我。我用的是Kotlin，这里有一个等价物。

class ItemOffsetDecoration : RecyclerView.ItemDecoration  {

    // amount to add to padding
    private val _itemOffset: Int

    constructor(itemOffset: Int) {
        _itemOffset = itemOffset
    }

    constructor(@NonNull context: Context, @DimenRes itemOffsetId: Int){
       _itemOffset = context.resources.getDimensionPixelSize(itemOffsetId)
    }

    /**
     * Applies padding to all sides of the [Rect], which is the container for the view
     */
    override fun getItemOffsets(outRect: Rect, view: View, parent: RecyclerView,state: RecyclerView.State) {
        super.getItemOffsets(outRect, view, parent, state)
        outRect.set(_itemOffset, _itemOffset, _itemOffset, _itemOffset)
    }
}

其他一切都是一样的。
