I've seen those CardViews (I'm not sure they're even CardViews) with dividers used in a lot of apps, so I'm guessing there is an easy way to create them. I wanted to ask how is it exactly done? are those even CardViews?
I couldn't find out more about them because I didn't know the name of the View exactly, so If someone could direct me to an example with code I'd be grateful.
Image example: 
If you want to use CardView padding on pre-L devices, and have it look the same on Lollipop+ devices, then you will need to use setUseCompatPadding(true) , or the XML variant cardUseCompatPadding="true" .
Customized CardView First, add a CardView dependency to the application-level build. gradle file. Then create a drawable background for the cards. For that, create a new drawable resource file inside the drawable folder.
CardView is a new widget in Android that can be used to display any sort of data by providing a rounded corner layout along with a specific elevation. CardView is the view that can display views on top of each other. The main usage of CardView is that it helps to give a rich feel and look to the UI design.

 <android.support.v7.widget.CardView         android:id="@+id/cardview"         android:layout_width="fill_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/margin_large"         android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/margin_large"         android:elevation="100dp"         card_view:cardBackgroundColor="@android:color/white"         card_view:cardCornerRadius="8dp">          <LinearLayout             android:layout_width="match_parent"             android:layout_height="match_parent"             android:orientation="vertical">              <LinearLayout                 android:layout_width="match_parent"                 android:layout_height="50dp"                 android:gravity="center_vertical"                 android:paddingLeft="25dp">                  <TextView                     android:layout_width="wrap_content"                     android:layout_height="wrap_content"                     android:text="Conversations" />             </LinearLayout>              <View                 android:layout_width="match_parent"                 android:layout_height="2dp"                 android:background="@android:color/darker_gray" />              <LinearLayout                 android:layout_width="match_parent"                 android:layout_height="wrap_content"                 android:orientation="vertical"                 android:paddingLeft="30dp"                 android:paddingTop="20dp"                 android:paddingBottom="10dp">                  <TextView                     android:layout_width="wrap_content"                     android:layout_height="wrap_content"                     android:text="game" />                     ...             </LinearLayout>         </LinearLayout>     </android.support.v7.widget.CardView> The shown screenshot shows a normal CardView with views as divider in-between.  There is no DividerView or something similar if you searching for something like this. Just use a simple View with a height and a background.
I've something similar in a library of mine. I use this to create the divider:
<View         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="1dp"         android:background="@color/stroke"/> card_library.xml
