Android Tutorial => ItemOffsetDecoration for GridLayoutManager in...

Example

Following example will help to give equal space to an item in GridLayout.

ItemOffsetDecoration.java

public class ItemOffsetDecoration extends RecyclerView.ItemDecoration {

    private int mItemOffset;

    private int spanCount = 2;

    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);

        int position = parent.getChildLayoutPosition(view);

        GridLayoutManager manager = (GridLayoutManager) parent.getLayoutManager();

        if (position < manager.getSpanCount())
            outRect.top = mItemOffset;

        if (position % 2 != 0) {
            outRect.right = mItemOffset;
        }

        outRect.left = mItemOffset;
        outRect.bottom = mItemOffset;
    }
}

You can call ItemDecoration like below code.

recyclerView = (RecyclerView) view.findViewById(R.id.recycler_view);

GridLayoutManager lLayout = new GridLayoutManager(getActivity(), 2);

ItemOffsetDecoration itemDecoration = new ItemOffsetDecoration(mActivity, R.dimen.item_offset);
recyclerView.addItemDecoration(itemDecoration);

recyclerView.setLayoutManager(lLayout);

and example item offset
<dimen name="item_offset">5dp</dimen>
