如果你想要物品周围的间距和物品大小相等，下面是一步一步的简单解决方案。

ItemOffsetDecoration

public class ItemOffsetDecoration extends RecyclerView.ItemDecoration {

    private int mItemOffset;

    public ItemOffsetDecoration(int itemOffset) {
        mItemOffset = itemOffset;
    }

    public ItemOffsetDecoration(@NonNull Context context, @DimenRes int itemOffsetId) {
        this(context.getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(itemOffsetId));
    }

    @Override
    public void getItemOffsets(Rect outRect, View view, RecyclerView parent,
            RecyclerView.State state) {
        super.getItemOffsets(outRect, view, parent, state);
        outRect.set(mItemOffset, mItemOffset, mItemOffset, mItemOffset);
    }
}

实现

在源代码中，将ItemOffsetDecoration添加到RecyclerView中。 项偏移值应该是实际值的一半大小，作为项之间的空间。

mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(new GridLayoutManager(context, NUM_COLUMNS);
ItemOffsetDecoration itemDecoration = new ItemOffsetDecoration(context, R.dimen.item_offset);
mRecyclerView.addItemDecoration(itemDecoration);

同样，设置项目偏移值为itsRecyclerView的填充，并指定android:clipToPadding=false。

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
    android:id="@+id/recyclerview_grid"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:clipToPadding="false"
    android:padding="@dimen/item_offset"/>

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()
        }
    }
}

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;
        }
    }
}

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));

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">
