I have a working RecyclerView inside a Fragment, but for some reason there is a lot of space in between list items, as seen below:

How can I reduce this space between the list items?

List view item XML:

Fragment java code (where the RecyclerView is used):

I have looked at all of the other questions that have similar topics, and I have tried those solutions, but they don't change the spacing.

Thanks for helping!

You should use match_parent for your item view width, and wrap_content for your item view height. This will need to be applied to all three container views nested in your item view. So change this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="match_parent"
 ...>

 <androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
 android:layout_width="wrap_content"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 ...>

 <LinearLayout
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="match_parent"
 ...>

 <TextView .../>

 <TextView .../>

 </LinearLayout>

 </androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>

</LinearLayout>

to this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 ...>

 <androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 ...>

 <LinearLayout
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content">

 <TextView .../>

 <TextView .../>

 </LinearLayout>

 </androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>

</LinearLayout>

you need to just change in the layout height of the listview that will be android:layout_height="wrap_content "and in Linear layout also as you shown in your code.
