Here is a simple Kotlin code snippet to implement ItemDecoration with RecyclerView:

 recyclerView.addItemDecoration(object : RecyclerView.ItemDecoration() {
                override fun getItemOffsets(outRect: Rect, view: View, parent: RecyclerView, state: RecyclerView.State) {
                    outRect.left = 20    // Left Margin.
                    outRect.right = 20   // Right Margin.
                    outRect.top = 16     // Top Margin.
                    outRect.bottom = 16  // Bottom Margin.
                }
            })

Explantation:- In the above example code, we are adding margins to each item of RecyclerView from all four directions.

Happy Coding...
