Divider line not showing in recycler view items

In my app i am using a recycler view that contains a number of items, i want to show a doted separator(divider) line between the items but its not working. I have tried creating a drawable shape but afer adding drawable to DividerItemDecoration no space or line showing between the recycler view items. I have tried creating custom DividerItemDecoration class too but nothing works for me. NOTE: Currently in my drawable shape is set to rectangle i have tried line too. How it can be achieved. Any help will be appreciated. Here is my code.

Drawable:(customdrawableshape.xml)

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle">
    <stroke
        android:width="3dp"
        android:height="2dp"
        android:color="#000000"
        android:dashGap="10dp"
        android:dashWidth="5dp" />

</shape>

Custom row for recycler view items

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_marginBottom="2dp">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/tv_text"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>

And the part of code where i am setting item decoration to recyclerview

DividerItemDecoration dividerItemDecoration;
recyclerview.setLayoutManager(linearlayoutmanager);
dividerItemDecoration = new DividerItemDecoration(recyclerview.getContext(),
        linearlayoutmanager.getOrientation());
dividerItemDecoration.setDrawable(ContextCompat.getDrawable(context, R.drawable.customdrawableshape));
recyclerview.addItemDecoration(dividerItemDecoration);

Kotlin Version:

recyclerview.addItemDecoration(DividerItemDecoration(this, DividerItemDecoration.VERTICAL))
