Simple RecyclerView Divider

Simple RecyclerView Divider

Simple Horizontal Divider Item Decoration for RecyclerView

    mRecyclerView.addItemDecoration(new SimpleDividerItemDecoration(
            getApplicationContext()
    	));

NOTE: Add item decoration prior to setting the adapter

public class SimpleDividerItemDecoration extends RecyclerView.ItemDecoration {
private Drawable mDivider;
public SimpleDividerItemDecoration(Context context) {
mDivider = context.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.line_divider);
}
@Override
public void onDrawOver(Canvas c, RecyclerView parent, RecyclerView.State state) {
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 + mDivider.getIntrinsicHeight();
mDivider.setBounds(left, top, right, bottom);
mDivider.draw(c);
}
}
}

ContextCompat is in the support library. ContextCompat.getDrawable(context, resourceID)

Nice Work!
I've also included the default Android listDivider drawable inside the constructor if you don't want to implement a custom one:

public SimpleDividerItemDecoration(Context context) {
    final TypedArray a = context.obtainStyledAttributes(new int[]{android.R.attr.listDivider});
    mDivider = a.getDrawable(0);
    a.recycle();
}

Hello,

ContextCompat

public SimpleDividerItemDecoration(Context context) { mDivider = ContextCompat.getDrawable(context, R.drawable.line_divider); }

val linearLayoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(this)
val dividerItemDecoration = DividerItemDecoration(recyclerView.context, linearLayoutManager.orientation)

// Init recyclerView
recyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true)
recyclerView.layoutManager = linearLayoutManager
recyclerView.addItemDecoration(dividerItemDecoration)

Use "card view" for item layout and set "margin top" according to your requirement.

If you don't want the last item to have a divider line after it, simply change for (int i = 0; i < childCount; i++) { to for (int i = 0; i < childCount - 1; i++) { and it will skip the last item divider.
