RecyclerView remove divider / decorator after the last item

Question

I have a quite simple RecyclerView.
This is how I set the divider:

DividerItemDecoration itemDecorator = new DividerItemDecoration(getContext(), DividerI         


        

Answer 1

Here's the DividerDecorator class i use in my apps which removes the bottom line of last item.

public class DividerDecorator extends RecyclerView.ItemDecoration {
    private Drawable mDivider;

    public DividerDecorator(Context context) {
        mDivider = context.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.recyclerview_divider);
    }

    @Override
    public void onDrawOver(Canvas c, RecyclerView parent, RecyclerView.State state) {
        int left = parent.getPaddingLeft();
        int right = parent.getWidth() - parent.getPaddingRight();

        int childCount = parent.getChildCount();
        for (int i = 0; i < childCount; i++) {
            View child = parent.getChildAt(i);

            RecyclerView.LayoutParams params = (RecyclerView.LayoutParams) child.getLayoutParams();

            int top = child.getBottom() + params.bottomMargin;
            int bottom = top + mDivider.getIntrinsicHeight();

            mDivider.setBounds(left, top, right, bottom);
            mDivider.draw(c);
        }
    }
}

You can set it to your RecyclerView with the following code:

mRecyclerViewEvent.addItemDecoration(new DividerDecorator(context));

Here's the recyclerview_divider.xml

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

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

Answer 2

If u already set using:

    DividerItemDecoration dividerItemDecoration;
    dividerItemDecoration  = new DividerItemDecoration(context, 
    DividerItemDecoration.VERTICAL);
    mRecyclerView.addItemDecoration(dividerItemDecoration);

and if you want to remove:

    mRecyclerView.removeItemDecoration(dividerItemDecoration);

This is a customized version of Android support DividerItemDecoration which ignore the last item:

main difference is:

private fun drawVertical(canvas: Canvas, parent: RecyclerView) {
    canvas.save()
    val left: Int
    val right: Int

    if (parent.clipToPadding) {
        left = parent.paddingLeft
        right = parent.width - parent.paddingRight
        canvas.clipRect(left, parent.paddingTop, right,
                parent.height - parent.paddingBottom)
    } else {
        left = 0
        right = parent.width
    }

    val childCount = parent.childCount
    for (i in 0 until childCount - 1) {
        val child = parent.getChildAt(i)
        parent.getDecoratedBoundsWithMargins(child, mBounds)
        val bottom = mBounds.bottom + Math.round(child.translationY)
        val top = bottom - mDivider!!.intrinsicHeight
        mDivider!!.setBounds(left, top, right, bottom)
        mDivider!!.draw(canvas)
    }
    canvas.restore()
}

private fun drawHorizontal(canvas: Canvas, parent: RecyclerView) {
    canvas.save()
    val top: Int
    val bottom: Int

    if (parent.clipToPadding) {
        top = parent.paddingTop
        bottom = parent.height - parent.paddingBottom
        canvas.clipRect(parent.paddingLeft, top,
                parent.width - parent.paddingRight, bottom)
    } else {
        top = 0
        bottom = parent.height
    }

    val childCount = parent.childCount
    for (i in 0 until childCount - 1) {
        val child = parent.getChildAt(i)
        parent.layoutManager.getDecoratedBoundsWithMargins(child, mBounds)
        val right = mBounds.right + Math.round(child.translationX)
        val left = right - mDivider!!.intrinsicWidth
        mDivider!!.setBounds(left, top, right, bottom)
        mDivider!!.draw(canvas)
    }
    canvas.restore()
}
