Why is onDraw and getItemOffsets deprecated now?

@akmalxxx
Copy link

That params has been deprecated and replaced with better params. Check my gist

What about onDrawOver(), is that a useful method compared to onDraw()?

@btdrucke
Copy link

onDrawOver() will draw over the items in the list, onDraw() will draw under the items.

Hi! Consider using

RecyclerView.LayoutManager manager = parent.getLayoutManager();
final int left = manager.getDecoratedLeft(child);

to better support multiple ItemDecorations. For example if you add DividerItemDecoration and another ItemDecoration for spacing between items, dividers will be drawn at the end of each item instead of right between them because you are not consider offsets from other decorations.
drawVertical should look like this for example:

public void drawVertical(Canvas c, RecyclerView parent)
{
    RecyclerView.LayoutManager manager = parent.getLayoutManager();
    final int left = parent.getPaddingLeft();
    final int right = parent.getWidth() - parent.getPaddingRight();

    final int childCount = parent.getChildCount();
    for (int i = 0; i < childCount; i++)
    {
        final View child = parent.getChildAt(i);
        final int top = manager.getDecoratedBottom(child);
        final int bottom = top + mDivider.getIntrinsicHeight();
        mDivider.setBounds(left, top, right, bottom);
        mDivider.draw(c);
    }
}

Thank you for this gist!

Grate work, simple and do what its should ,Thanks .

Based on your work i added a grid support , but i don't know what is the proper way to submit the change to the original git. Please check it out and marge it with the original for other to enjoy.

P.s I did try this tutorial without any luck, Its written for a repository and not a Git!.

At line 58 possible to be used childCount-1 to avoid drawing divider after last item in list

I wonder if it is a good idea to use Paint instead of bothering creating a drawable resource?
Any performance difference?

public DividerItemDecoration(Context context, int colorResId, int dividerWidthDimenResId) {
    mPaint = new Paint();
    mPaint.setColor(context.getResources().getColor(colorResId));
    mPaint.setStrokeWidth((int) context.getResources().getDimension(dividerWidthDimenResId));
}

@Override
public void onDrawOver(Canvas c, RecyclerView parent, RecyclerView.State state) {
    int startX = parent.getPaddingLeft();
    int stopX = 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 y = child.getBottom() + params.bottomMargin;

        c.drawLine(startX, y, stopX, y, mPaint);
    }
}

possible bug at line 79, it should be
final int right = left + mDivider.getIntrinsicWidth();

@adolfdsilva
Copy link

    mDivider = a.getDrawable(0);

Returns null for 5.1.1

@Binghammer
Copy link

Also adding:

 mDivider = a.getDrawable(0);

returns a null drawable.

Thanks for this code. I am using it to set the divider in a PreferenceFragmentCompat. For a PreferenceFragmentCompat I had to make a change so not to display a divider line under the last element. To do this, I changed drawVertical() and drawHorizontal():

from:

for (int i = 0; i < childCount; i++) {

to:

for (int i = 0; i < childCount-1; i++) {

Thanks.

You should not be looping over 0 to childCount (with or without the -1). You should loop from findFirstVisibleItemPosition() to findLastVisibleItemPosition(), checking them first for NO_POSITION. The last item check would then be whether the position is the last item from the adapter.

Didn't work for android 5.0 +
