Adjust items height to fit its RecyclerView according to screen size

Question

I have a RecyclerView with height:match_parent which displays 16 items vertically with fixed height in adapter. Everything works fine except when it comes to the different screen sizes. In larger screens there is a space remained at the bottom after 16 items are displayed, where on small screen phones it perfectly fits to the bottom. I am looking for a way where list items heights are adjusted to the RecyclerView height till the end without scrollable.

Check the Screenshots below for more clarification

Problem:

Expectation:

My approach was to make the Item weight set to 1, hence when rendering into the RecyclerView 16 times, they will share the same height within the RecyclerView. Unfortunately that didn't work for me.

My RecyclerView:

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
     android:id="@+id/rv_morning"
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="match_parent"
     android:overScrollMode="never" />

My Adapter:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:background="@color/white"
    android:clickable="false"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <TextView />

</LinearLayout>
