RecyclerView decorator adding extra padding on refresh

Question

So, I\'m facing a weird problem while implementing RecyclerView in my project. I have a custom decorator to implement a consistent top and bottom padding and a rather different

Answer 1

This is happening because we are trying to add itemDecorator to the recycler view which already have itemDecorator added to it, check first if its already there then don't add again

if (0 == recyclerview.getItemDecorationCount()) {
recyclerview.addItemDecoration(new DividerItemDecoration(ContextCompat.getDrawable(getActivity(), R.drawable.divider)));
}

This 0 will be the number of itemDecorator we have in recycler view, most of the time it'll be 0.
