Using RecyclerView with Card

Question

I have some RecyclerView with Card items. And on preLollipop devices it looks fine. But on Lollipop it looks without any spacing between child cards. I tried to use margin and p

Answer 1

I had the same problem. I had to create a layout-v21 folder, which will be used by lollipop devices, and duplicate the layout adding the margin/padding I needed to space it out correctly.

That way when your app is launched on lollipop the layout will be read in from the layout-v21 folder with the correct space added, and any other device will go to your standard layout file where the space isn't needed to be explicitly set.

Hope this helps.
