RecyclerView remove divider / decorator after the last item

Try this Code, it won’t show divider for the last item. This method will give you more control over drawing divider.

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

    public DividerItemDecorator(Drawable divider) {
        mDivider = divider;
    }

    @Override
    public void onDrawOver(Canvas canvas, RecyclerView parent, RecyclerView.State state) {
        int dividerLeft = parent.getPaddingLeft();
        int dividerRight = parent.getWidth() - parent.getPaddingRight();

        int childCount = parent.getChildCount();
        for (int i = 0; i <= childCount - 2; i++) {
            View child = parent.getChildAt(i);

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

            int dividerTop = child.getBottom() + params.bottomMargin;
            int dividerBottom = dividerTop + mDivider.getIntrinsicHeight();

            mDivider.setBounds(dividerLeft, dividerTop, dividerRight, dividerBottom);
            mDivider.draw(canvas);
        }
    }
}

divider.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle">
    <size
        android:width="1dp"
        android:height="1dp" />
    <solid android:color="@color/grey_300" />
</shape>

Set your Divider like this:

RecyclerView.ItemDecoration dividerItemDecoration = new DividerItemDecorator(ContextCompat.getDrawable(context, R.drawable.divider));
recyclerView.addItemDecoration(dividerItemDecoration);
