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));

复制@edwardaa提供的代码，我使它完美地支持RTL:

public class GridSpacingItemDecoration extends RecyclerView.ItemDecoration {
    private int spanCount;
    private int spacing;
    private boolean includeEdge;
    private int headerNum;
    private boolean isRtl = TextUtilsCompat.getLayoutDirectionFromLocale(Locale.getDefault()) == ViewCompat.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL;

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

    @Override
    public void getItemOffsets(Rect outRect, View view, RecyclerView parent, RecyclerView.State state) {
        int position = parent.getChildAdapterPosition(view) - headerNum; // item position
        if (position >= 0) {
            int column = position % spanCount; // item column
            if(isRtl) {
                column = spanCount - 1 - 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
                }
            }
        } else {
            outRect.left = 0;
            outRect.right = 0;
            outRect.top = 0;
            outRect.bottom = 0;
        }
    }
}

下面的代码将处理StaggeredGridLayoutManager、GridLayoutManager和LinearLayoutManager。

public class SpacesItemDecoration extends RecyclerView.ItemDecoration {

    private int halfSpace;

    public SpacesItemDecoration(int space) {
        this.halfSpace = space / 2;
    }

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

        if (parent.getPaddingLeft() != halfSpace) {
            parent.setPadding(halfSpace, halfSpace, halfSpace, halfSpace);
            parent.setClipToPadding(false);
        }

        outRect.top = halfSpace;
        outRect.bottom = halfSpace;
        outRect.left = halfSpace;
        outRect.right = halfSpace;
    }
}

然后使用它

mRecyclerView.addItemDecoration(new SpacesItemDecoration(mMargin));

当为儿童使用CardView时，项目之间的空格问题可以通过设置app:cardUseCompatPadding为true来解决。

为更大的边际扩大项目抬高。CardElevation是可选的(使用默认值)。

<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    app:cardUseCompatPadding="true"
    app:cardElevation="2dp">

确保你在gradle模块中实现了这个:

implementation 'com.github.grzegorzojdana:SpacingItemDecoration:1.1.0'

创建这个简单的函数:

public static int dpToPx(Context c, int dp) {
    Resources r = c.getResources();
    return Math.round(TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, dp, r.getDisplayMetrics()));
}

最后实现如下所示的空格:

photosRecycler.addItemDecoration(new SpacingItemDecoration(2,  dpToPx(this, 4), true));

对于任何像我一样，想要最好的答案，但在kotlin，这里是:

class GridItemDecoration(
    val spacing: Int,
    private val spanCount: Int,
    private val includeEdge: Boolean
) :
    RecyclerView.ItemDecoration() {

    /**
     * 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
    ) {
        val position = parent.getChildAdapterPosition(view) // item position
        val 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
            }
        }
    }
}

如果你想从dimensions .xml中获取数字，然后将其转换为原始像素，你可以使用getDimensionPixelOffset简单地做到这一点，就像这样:

recyclerView.addItemDecoration(
                GridItemDecoration(
                    resources.getDimensionPixelOffset(R.dimen.h1),
                    3,
                    true
                )
            )
