The easiest way to add space is to add padding in xml and set clipToPadding:"false".

For RecyclerView

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingTop="20dp"
android:paddingBottom="20dp"
android:clipToPadding="false"/>

For ListView

<ListView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingTop="20dp"
android:paddingBottom="20dp"
android:clipToPadding="false"/>

And same goes for the ScrollView

<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingTop="20dp"
android:paddingBottom="20dp"
android:clipToPadding="false"/>

This specifically adds the blank space to top and bottom but hide the space when you scroll the view.
