RecyclerViews支持ItemDecoration的概念:围绕每个元素的特殊偏移和绘图。从这个答案中可以看出，你可以使用

public class SpacesItemDecoration extends RecyclerView.ItemDecoration {
  private int space;

  public SpacesItemDecoration(int space) {
    this.space = space;
  }

  @Override
  public void getItemOffsets(Rect outRect, View view, 
      RecyclerView parent, RecyclerView.State state) {
    outRect.left = space;
    outRect.right = space;
    outRect.bottom = space;

    // Add top margin only for the first item to avoid double space between items
    if (parent.getChildLayoutPosition(view) == 0) {
        outRect.top = space;
    } else {
        outRect.top = 0;
    }
  }
}

然后通过

mRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.my_recycler_view);
int spacingInPixels = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.spacing);
mRecyclerView.addItemDecoration(new SpacesItemDecoration(spacingInPixels));

另一点需要注意的是:

如果total spacing和total itemWidth不等于屏幕宽度，您还需要调整itemWidth，例如，在适配器onBindViewHolder方法

Utils.init(_mActivity);
int width = 0;
if (includeEdge) {
    width = ScreenUtils.getScreenWidth() - spacing * (spanCount + 1);
} else {
    width = ScreenUtils.getScreenWidth() - spacing * (spanCount - 1);
}
int itemWidth = width / spanCount;

ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = (ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams) holder.imageViewAvatar.getLayoutParams();
// suppose the width and height are the same
layoutParams.width = itemWidth;
layoutParams.height = itemWidth;
holder.imageViewAvatar.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);

这是我在Kotlin中编写的更灵活的版本，您可以在dp中设置参数。

class ItemDividerGrid(private val numberOfColumns: Int, private val rowSpacingDP: Float = 0f, private val columnSpacingDP: Float = 0f, private val edgeSpacingVerticalDP: Float = 0f, private val edgeSpacingHorizontalDP: Float = 0f) : ItemDecoration() {

    override fun getItemOffsets(outRect: Rect, view: View, parent: RecyclerView, state: RecyclerView.State) {
        val position = parent.getChildAdapterPosition(view)
        val numberOfRows = (parent.adapter?.itemCount?:-1)/numberOfColumns
        val column = position % numberOfColumns
        val row = position / numberOfColumns
        val context = view.context
        ///horizontal
        when(column){
            0 -> {
                outRect.left = convertDpToPixel(edgeSpacingVerticalDP,context)
                outRect.right = convertDpToPixel(columnSpacingDP/2, context)
            }
            numberOfColumns-1 -> {
                outRect.left = convertDpToPixel(columnSpacingDP/2, context)
                outRect.right = convertDpToPixel(edgeSpacingVerticalDP, context)
            }
            else -> {
                outRect.left = convertDpToPixel(columnSpacingDP/2, context)
                outRect.right = convertDpToPixel(columnSpacingDP/2, context)
            }
        }
        //vertical
        when(row){
            0  -> {
                outRect.top = convertDpToPixel(edgeSpacingHorizontalDP,context)
                outRect.bottom = convertDpToPixel(rowSpacingDP/2, context)
            }
            numberOfRows -> {
                outRect.top = convertDpToPixel(rowSpacingDP/2, context)
                outRect.bottom = convertDpToPixel(edgeSpacingHorizontalDP, context)
            }
            else -> {
                outRect.top = convertDpToPixel(rowSpacingDP/2, context)
                outRect.bottom = convertDpToPixel(rowSpacingDP/2, context)
            }
        }
    }
    fun convertDpToPixel(dp: Float, context: Context?): Int {
        return if (context != null) {
            val resources = context.resources
            val metrics = resources.displayMetrics
            (dp * (metrics.densityDpi.toFloat() / DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_DEFAULT)).roundToInt()
        } else {
            val metrics = Resources.getSystem().displayMetrics
            (dp * (metrics.densityDpi.toFloat() / DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_DEFAULT)).roundToInt()
        }
    }
}

这也适用于RecyclerView with header。

public class GridSpacingItemDecoration extends RecyclerView.ItemDecoration {

    private int spanCount;
    private int spacing;
    private boolean includeEdge;
    private int headerNum;

    public GridSpacingItemDecoration(int spanCount, int spacing, boolean includeEdge, int headerNum) {
        this.spanCount = spanCount;
        this.spacing = spacing;
        this.includeEdge = includeEdge;
        this.headerNum = headerNum;
    }

    @Override
    public void getItemOffsets(Rect outRect, View view, RecyclerView parent, RecyclerView.State state) {
        int position = parent.getChildAdapterPosition(view) - headerNum; // item position

        if (position >= 0) {
            int column = position % spanCount; // item column

            if (includeEdge) {
                outRect.left = spacing - column * spacing / spanCount; // spacing - column * ((1f / spanCount) * spacing)
                outRect.right = (column + 1) * spacing / spanCount; // (column + 1) * ((1f / spanCount) * spacing)

                if (position < spanCount) { // top edge
                    outRect.top = spacing;
                }
                outRect.bottom = spacing; // item bottom
            } else {
                outRect.left = column * spacing / spanCount; // column * ((1f / spanCount) * spacing)
                outRect.right = spacing - (column + 1) * spacing / spanCount; // spacing - (column + 1) * ((1f /    spanCount) * spacing)
                if (position >= spanCount) {
                    outRect.top = spacing; // item top
                }
            }
        } else {
            outRect.left = 0;
            outRect.right = 0;
            outRect.top = 0;
            outRect.bottom = 0;
        }
    }
    }
}

如果你想在所有设备中固定你的RecyclerView项的大小。你可以这样做

public class GridSpacingItemDecoration extends RecyclerView.ItemDecoration {

    private int mSpanCount;
    private float mItemSize;

    public GridSpacingItemDecoration(int spanCount, int itemSize) {
        this.mSpanCount = spanCount;
        mItemSize = itemSize;
    }

    @Override
    public void getItemOffsets(final Rect outRect, final View view, RecyclerView parent,
            RecyclerView.State state) {
        final int position = parent.getChildLayoutPosition(view);
        final int column = position % mSpanCount;
        final int parentWidth = parent.getWidth();
        int spacing = (int) (parentWidth - (mItemSize * mSpanCount)) / (mSpanCount + 1);
        outRect.left = spacing - column * spacing / mSpanCount;
        outRect.right = (column + 1) * spacing / mSpanCount;

        if (position < mSpanCount) {
            outRect.top = spacing;
        }
        outRect.bottom = spacing;
    }
}

recyclerview_item.xml

<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="@dimen/recycler_view_item_width" 
    ...
    >
    ...
</LinearLayout>

dimens.xml

 <dimen name="recycler_view_item_width">60dp</dimen>

活动

int numberOfColumns = 3;
mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(new GridLayoutManager(this, numberOfColumns));
mRecyclerView.setAdapter(...);
mRecyclerView.addItemDecoration(new GridSpacingItemDecoration(3,
        getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.recycler_view_item_width)));

如果你有一个在列表和网格之间切换的拨动开关，不要忘记在设置任何新的项目装饰之前调用recyclerView.removeItemDecoration(..)。如果不是这样，那么新的间隔计算将是不正确的。

就像这样:

recyclerView.removeItemDecoration(gridItemDecorator)
recyclerView.removeItemDecoration(listItemDecorator)

if (showAsList) {
    recyclerView.layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(this, LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL, false)
    recyclerView.addItemDecoration(listItemDecorator)
} else {
    recyclerView.layoutManager = GridLayoutManager(this, spanCount)
    recyclerView.addItemDecoration(gridItemDecorator)
}
