The cleanest way is just to copy the original DividerItemDecoration class and put it inside androidx.recyclerview.widget package inside you app's java source. Then just change these lines inside the class (there are 2 of them - one for vertical and one for horizontal:
final int childCount = parent.getChildCount();
to
final int childCount = parent.getChildCount() -1;
No other code changes needed. Doing so will also retain all other properties and behaviors of DividerItemDecoration class.
Here's the modified class if you need it:
