Simple Horizontal Divider Item Decoration for RecyclerView

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

NOTE: Add item decoration prior to setting the adapter

</shape>
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);
}
}
}

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.
