A simple RecyclerView ItemDecoration drawing a horizon line and you can set the height and the color.It looks like the listview divider.

SimpleDividerItemDecoration

package com.quinn.xmpp.ui.widget;

import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable;
import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView;
import android.view.View;

import com.quinn.xmpp.R;

public class SimpleDividerItemDecoration extends RecyclerView.ItemDecoration {
	private int mColor;
	private int mHeight; // in px format
	private Paint paint;

	public SimpleDividerItemDecoration(Context context, int color, int height) {
		this.mColor = color;
		this.mHeight = height;
		this.paint = new Paint();
		paint.setAntiAlias(true);
	}

	@Override
	public void onDrawOver(Canvas c, RecyclerView parent) {

		int left = parent.getPaddingLeft();
		int right = parent.getWidth() - parent.getPaddingRight();

		int childCount = parent.getChildCount();
		for (int i = 0; i < childCount; i++) {
			View child = parent.getChildAt(i);

			RecyclerView.LayoutParams params = (RecyclerView.LayoutParams) child
					.getLayoutParams();

			int top = child.getBottom() + params.bottomMargin;
			int bottom = top + mHeight;
			
			paint.setColor(mColor);
			c.drawRect(left, top, right, bottom, paint);

		}
	}
}

You'll also want to extend the itemOffset to fit the drawn rectangle, or else you'll be drawing on top of your views: https://gist.github.com/nivekmai/7b9d20629a22f7ada87c849ed9dcbc32
