Solution

  • Check this out: https://bignerdranch.github.io/simple-item-decoration/

    Add this to your app level gradle and sync:

    compile 'com.bignerdranch.android:simple-item-decoration:1.0.0'

    Then, apply code as below:

        Drawable horizontalDivider = ContextCompat.getDrawable(this, R.drawable.line_divider);
    Drawable verticalDivider = ContextCompat.getDrawable(this, R.drawable.line_divider);
    recyclerView.addItemDecoration(new GridDividerItemDecoration(horizontalDivider, verticalDivider, 4));

    My line_divider.xml was as follows:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle">

    <size
        android:width="1dp"
        android:height="1dp" />

    <solid android:color="@android:color/black" />

</shape>

    This is just a quick answer from me. But this should work, I guess..
