为了使https://stackoverflow.com/a/29905000/1649371(上面)解决方案工作，我必须修改以下方法(以及所有后续调用)

@SuppressWarnings("all")
protected int getItemSpanSize(RecyclerView parent, View view, int childIndex) {

    RecyclerView.LayoutManager mgr = parent.getLayoutManager();
    if (mgr instanceof GridLayoutManager) {
        return ((GridLayoutManager) mgr).getSpanSizeLookup().getSpanSize(childIndex);
    } else if (mgr instanceof StaggeredGridLayoutManager) {
        return ((StaggeredGridLayoutManager.LayoutParams) view.getLayoutParams()).isFullSpan() ? spanCount : 1;
    } else if (mgr instanceof LinearLayoutManager) {
        return 1;
    }

    return -1;
}

@SuppressWarnings("all")
protected int getItemSpanIndex(RecyclerView parent, View view, int childIndex) {

    RecyclerView.LayoutManager mgr = parent.getLayoutManager();
    if (mgr instanceof GridLayoutManager) {
        return ((GridLayoutManager) mgr).getSpanSizeLookup().getSpanIndex(childIndex, spanCount);
    } else if (mgr instanceof StaggeredGridLayoutManager) {
        return ((StaggeredGridLayoutManager.LayoutParams) view.getLayoutParams()).getSpanIndex();
    } else if (mgr instanceof LinearLayoutManager) {
        return 0;
    }

    return -1;
}

另一点需要注意的是:

如果total spacing和total itemWidth不等于屏幕宽度，您还需要调整itemWidth，例如，在适配器onBindViewHolder方法

Utils.init(_mActivity);
int width = 0;
if (includeEdge) {
    width = ScreenUtils.getScreenWidth() - spacing * (spanCount + 1);
} else {
    width = ScreenUtils.getScreenWidth() - spacing * (spanCount - 1);
}
int itemWidth = width / spanCount;

ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = (ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams) holder.imageViewAvatar.getLayoutParams();
// suppose the width and height are the same
layoutParams.width = itemWidth;
layoutParams.height = itemWidth;
holder.imageViewAvatar.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);

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。

这是我在Kotlin中编写的更灵活的版本，您可以在dp中设置参数。

class ItemDividerGrid(private val numberOfColumns: Int, private val rowSpacingDP: Float = 0f, private val columnSpacingDP: Float = 0f, private val edgeSpacingVerticalDP: Float = 0f, private val edgeSpacingHorizontalDP: Float = 0f) : ItemDecoration() {

    override fun getItemOffsets(outRect: Rect, view: View, parent: RecyclerView, state: RecyclerView.State) {
        val position = parent.getChildAdapterPosition(view)
        val numberOfRows = (parent.adapter?.itemCount?:-1)/numberOfColumns
        val column = position % numberOfColumns
        val row = position / numberOfColumns
        val context = view.context
        ///horizontal
        when(column){
            0 -> {
                outRect.left = convertDpToPixel(edgeSpacingVerticalDP,context)
                outRect.right = convertDpToPixel(columnSpacingDP/2, context)
            }
            numberOfColumns-1 -> {
                outRect.left = convertDpToPixel(columnSpacingDP/2, context)
                outRect.right = convertDpToPixel(edgeSpacingVerticalDP, context)
            }
            else -> {
                outRect.left = convertDpToPixel(columnSpacingDP/2, context)
                outRect.right = convertDpToPixel(columnSpacingDP/2, context)
            }
        }
        //vertical
        when(row){
            0  -> {
                outRect.top = convertDpToPixel(edgeSpacingHorizontalDP,context)
                outRect.bottom = convertDpToPixel(rowSpacingDP/2, context)
            }
            numberOfRows -> {
                outRect.top = convertDpToPixel(rowSpacingDP/2, context)
                outRect.bottom = convertDpToPixel(edgeSpacingHorizontalDP, context)
            }
            else -> {
                outRect.top = convertDpToPixel(rowSpacingDP/2, context)
                outRect.bottom = convertDpToPixel(rowSpacingDP/2, context)
            }
        }
    }
    fun convertDpToPixel(dp: Float, context: Context?): Int {
        return if (context != null) {
            val resources = context.resources
            val metrics = resources.displayMetrics
            (dp * (metrics.densityDpi.toFloat() / DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_DEFAULT)).roundToInt()
        } else {
            val metrics = Resources.getSystem().displayMetrics
            (dp * (metrics.densityDpi.toFloat() / DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_DEFAULT)).roundToInt()
        }
    }
}

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));

对于那些有问题的staggeredLayoutManager(如https://imgur.com/XVutH5u)

recyclerView的方法:

getChildAdapterPosition(view)
getChildLayoutPosition(view)

有时返回-1作为索引，所以我们可能会遇到设置itemDecor的麻烦。我的解决方案是覆盖已弃用的ItemDecoration的方法:

public void getItemOffsets(Rect outRect, int itemPosition, RecyclerView parent)

而不是新手:

public void getItemOffsets(Rect outRect, View view, RecyclerView parent, State state)

是这样的:

recyclerView.addItemDecoration(new RecyclerView.ItemDecoration() {
            @Override
            public void getItemOffsets(Rect outRect, int itemPosition, RecyclerView parent) {
                TheAdapter.VH vh = (TheAdapter.VH) recyclerView.findViewHolderForAdapterPosition(itemPosition);
                View itemView = vh.itemView;    //itemView is the base view of viewHolder
                //or instead of the 2 lines above maybe it's possible to use  View itemView = layoutManager.findViewByPosition(itemPosition)  ... NOT TESTED

                StaggeredGridLayoutManager.LayoutParams itemLayoutParams = (StaggeredGridLayoutManager.LayoutParams) itemView.getLayoutParams();

                int spanIndex = itemLayoutParams.getSpanIndex();

                if (spanIndex == 0)
                    ...
                else
                    ...
            }
        });

到目前为止似乎对我有用:)
