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));

只有一个简单的解决方案，您可以记住并在任何需要的地方实施。没有bug，没有疯狂的计算。在卡片/物品布局中放置空白，并在RecyclerView中放置相同大小的填充:

item_layout.xml

<CardView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:margin="10dp">

activity_layout.xml

<RecyclerView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:padding="10dp"/>

更新:

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));

如果你有一个在列表和网格之间切换的拨动开关，不要忘记在设置任何新的项目装饰之前调用recyclerView.removeItemDecoration(..)。如果不是这样，那么新的间隔计算将是不正确的。

就像这样:

recyclerView.removeItemDecoration(gridItemDecorator)
recyclerView.removeItemDecoration(listItemDecorator)

if (showAsList) {
    recyclerView.layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(this, LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL, false)
    recyclerView.addItemDecoration(listItemDecorator)
} else {
    recyclerView.layoutManager = GridLayoutManager(this, spanCount)
    recyclerView.addItemDecoration(gridItemDecorator)
}

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?

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) {
        StaggeredGridLayoutManager.LayoutParams params = (StaggeredGridLayoutManager.LayoutParams) view.getLayoutParams();
        int column = params.getSpanIndex();

        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
            }
        }
    }
}

与edwardaa的回答略有不同，不同之处在于列是如何确定的，因为在一些情况下，例如具有不同高度的项目，列不能简单地通过% spanCount确定
