Drawing a Separator
suggest changeThis will draw a line at the bottom of every view but the last to act as a separator between items.
public class SeparatorDecoration extends RecyclerView.ItemDecoration {
private final Paint mPaint;
private final int mAlpha;
public SeparatorDecoration(@ColorInt int color, float width) {
mPaint = new Paint();
mPaint.setColor(color);
mPaint.setStrokeWidth(width);
mAlpha = mPaint.getAlpha();
}
@Override
public void getItemOffsets(Rect outRect, View view, RecyclerView parent, RecyclerView.State state) {
final RecyclerView.LayoutParams params = (RecyclerView.LayoutParams) view.getLayoutParams();
// we retrieve the position in the list
final int position = params.getViewAdapterPosition();
// add space for the separator to the bottom of every view but the last one
if (position < state.getItemCount()) {
outRect.set(0, 0, 0, (int) mPaint.getStrokeWidth()); // left, top, right, bottom
} else {
outRect.setEmpty(); // 0, 0, 0, 0
}
}
@Override
public void onDraw(Canvas c, RecyclerView parent, RecyclerView.State state) {
// a line will draw half its size to top and bottom,
// hence the offset to place it correctly
final int offset = (int) (mPaint.getStrokeWidth() / 2);
// this will iterate over every visible view
for (int i = 0; i < parent.getChildCount(); i++) {
final View view = parent.getChildAt(i);
final RecyclerView.LayoutParams params = (RecyclerView.LayoutParams) view.getLayoutParams();
// get the position
final int position = params.getViewAdapterPosition();
// and finally draw the separator
if (position < state.getItemCount()) {
// apply alpha to support animations
mPaint.setAlpha((int) (view.getAlpha() * mAlpha));
float positionY = view.getBottom() + offset + view.getTranslationY();
// do the drawing
c.drawLine(view.getLeft() + view.getTranslationX(),
positionY,
view.getRight() + view.getTranslationX(),
positionY,
mPaint);
}
}
}
}
