在回收站视图中删除最后一行空列中的额外项目装饰

Question

Im trying to delete the empty column Item decoration as per the below Image. I Initially thought to restrict the spancount for the last row as per the content using below code in comments but however Im not successful.

below is the code and Image as a result.

 val taskDatesView: RecyclerView = binding.taskDatesRecyclerView
    val manager = GridLayoutManager(context,10)
    taskDatesView.layoutManager = manager
    taskDatesView.adapter = taskDatesAdapter

    createTasksViewModel.taskDates.observe(viewLifecycleOwner) {
        it?.let(taskDatesAdapter::setTaskDates)
        val decoration = DividerItemDecoration(context, HORIZONTAL)
        taskDatesView.addItemDecoration(decoration)
        /*manager.spanSizeLookup = object :SpanSizeLookup(){
            override fun getSpanSize(position: Int): Int {
                val lastRowCount = (taskDatesAdapter.itemCount%10)
                if(position>taskDatesAdapter.itemCount -lastRowCount){
                    return lastRowCount
                }
                return 10
            }
        }*/
        

when I uncommented the code and run the app below is the result

Any code references or links will be helpful. Thanks in Advance.

Within Custom Divider, modifying the bottom padding based on the lastRowCount it is working as expected.

Below is the working code and result also added comments within code for better understanding

fun drawHorizontal(c: Canvas?, parent: RecyclerView) {
    val noOfColumns = 10
    val top = parent.paddingTop
    var bottom = parent.height - parent.paddingBottom
    val childCount = parent.childCount
    // values required not to draw the bottom for last empty columns
    val lastRowCount = childCount % noOfColumns
    val numOfRows = childCount / noOfColumns
    for (i in 0 until childCount) {
        val child = parent.getChildAt(i)
        val params = child.layoutParams as RecyclerView.LayoutParams
        // this can be optimized to calculate only once for every row
        val rowNumber = ((i + 1) / noOfColumns) + 1
        // Within every row after crossing the lastRowCount the bottom should not be extended
        if ((i * rowNumber) - (lastRowCount - 1) > 0) {
            bottom = (child.height * (numOfRows))
        }
        val left = child.right + params.rightMargin + mDivider.intrinsicHeight
        val right = left + mDivider.intrinsicWidth
        mDivider.setBounds(left, top, right, bottom)
        mDivider.draw(c!!)
    }
}

If we need both vertical and horizontal orientations, use above and the below code

fun drawVertical(c: Canvas?, parent: RecyclerView){
    val dividerLeft = parent.paddingLeft
    val dividerRight = parent.width - parent.paddingRight
    val childCount = parent.childCount
    for (i in 0..childCount - 2) {
        val child: View = parent.getChildAt(i)
        val params = child.layoutParams as RecyclerView.LayoutParams
        val dividerTop: Int = child.getBottom() + params.bottomMargin
        val dividerBottom = dividerTop + mDivider.intrinsicHeight
        mDivider.setBounds(dividerLeft, dividerTop, dividerRight, dividerBottom)
        mDivider.draw(c)
    }
}
