Recyclerview List doesnt reach the bottom of the list

Question

I'm trying to display a recyclerview list under some content. The problem I have is that my recyclerview list doesn't reach the end of it. The last icon by example is just half to see. Also if its possible, I would like to know how I can fade out my list at the top so that it does't seem cut off.

Remove this line android:weightSum="1" here:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:weightSum="1"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:background="?attr/selectableItemBackground"
    tools:context="match_parent"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">

Remove this line android:layout_weight="0.02" here:

<com.github.siyamed.shapeimageview.CircularImageView
        android:layout_width="87dp"
        android:layout_height="63dp"
        android:src="@drawable/snappy"
        app:siBorderWidth="2dp"
        app:siBorderColor="@color/colorPrimary"
        android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
        android:layout_weight="0.02" />

And you need to use the weight property for all the Views to work as expected!
