Smaller Space Between Card View in a List

I am trying to make the space between card view smaller in a list; currently, the spaces are too large. I've looked everywhere on SO but there doesn't seem to be a good solution so far. I cannot seem to figure out the correct layout to achieve this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:foreground="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"
        android:clickable="true"
        android:focusable="true"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="100dp"


        card_view:cardUseCompatPadding="true"
        card_view:cardElevation="5dp"
        card_view:cardCornerRadius="30dp"
        card_view:contentPadding="5dp">


    <RelativeLayout android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:padding="16dp"
                    android:orientation="vertical">

        <TextView
                android:id="@+id/sub_txt"
                android:textSize="18sp"
                android:text="Title"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:textStyle="italic"
                android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/img"
                android:layout_below="@+id/txt"
                android:layout_marginStart="20dp"
                />
        <ImageView android:layout_width="30dp"
                   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                   android:id="@+id/img"
                   android:contentDescription="@string/app_name"/>

        <TextView
                android:id="@+id/txt"
                android:textSize="22sp"
                android:text="Title"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:textStyle="bold"
                android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/img"
                android:layout_marginStart="20dp"/>

    </RelativeLayout>

</androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>

Try removing cardUseCompatPadding and add margin instead like below:

<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:foreground="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"
    android:clickable="true"
    android:focusable="true"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="100dp"

    android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
    android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="10dp"

    card_view:cardElevation="5dp"
    card_view:cardCornerRadius="30dp"
    card_view:contentPadding="5dp">

Change your CardView height to wrap_content and then you can set your RelativeLayout height to match_parent.

You have given 100dp to your CardView and the RelativeLayout height is smaller than that which leads to more space showing between the items.

CardView by default adds extra padding in platforms pre-Lollipop so as to draw shadows. In Lollipop devices, you will have to set cardUseCompatPadding=true, use the line below.

card_view:cardUseCompatPadding="true"
