Last Item in recyclerview is cut off

Question

I am using recyclerview to display a list of items and constraint layout is the parent view. The layout is displayed below:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

        <!-- Load the toolbar here -->
        <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
            xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
            android:id="@+id/toolbar"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
            android:minHeight="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
            app:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
            android:background="@color/colorPrimary"/>

        <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
            android:id="@+id/recyclerView"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
            android:visibility="visible"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/toolbar" />

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/imageViewContent"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="parent"
            android:visibility="gone"
            android:src="@drawable/empty_category"/>

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textViewContent"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:text="Empty Category"
            android:textStyle="bold"
            android:textColor="@color/colorPrimary"
            android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Large"
            android:visibility="gone"
            app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/imageViewContent" />

    </android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

The adapter layout for each row is presented below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/framelayoutImage"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_above="@id/buttonCart"
        android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="10dp">

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/imageViewCoverArt"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="200dp"
            android:scaleType="center" />

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="bottom"
            android:background="#59000000"
            android:orientation="vertical">

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/textViewPrice"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_gravity="bottom|left"
                android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
                android:clickable="false"
                android:text="$220"
                android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Medium"
                android:textColor="@android:color/white"
                android:textStyle="bold" />

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/textViewDetails"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_gravity="bottom|left"
                android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
                android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
                android:ellipsize="end"
                android:maxLength="17"
                android:maxLines="1"
                android:text="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consecte"
                android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Medium"
                android:textColor="@android:color/white" />

        </LinearLayout>

    </FrameLayout>

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/buttonCart"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
        android:background="@drawable/buttonshape"
        android:text="Add to Cart"
        android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Small"
        android:textColor="@android:color/white"
        android:textStyle="bold"
     />
</LinearLayout>

After running my application the layouts are presented in the image below:

I tried adding a bottom margin to the recycle view, but this has not resolved the issue. I used the following links as references: RecyclerView is cutting off the last item, RecyclerView cutting off last item and tried making those changes with no luck

Your RecyclerView is not properly constrained. You can either use 0dp (MATCH_CONSTRAINT) for the height and use all available space:

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
    android:id="@+id/recyclerView"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
    android:visibility="visible"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/toolbar" />

or if you want to keep it as wrap_content you will need to set app:layout_constrainedHeight="true" attribute to enforce the constraints:

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
    android:id="@+id/recyclerView"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
    android:visibility="visible"
    app:layout_constrainedHeight="true"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/toolbar" />
