 /**
  * An ItemDecoration for a GridLayoutManager that provides fixed spacing (but not fixed padding)
  * to create fixed sized items, with no spacing on the outer edges of the outer items.
  * <p>
  * So, for example, if there are 2 columns and the spacing is s, then the first column gets a right
  * padding of s/2 and the second column gets a left paddding of s/2.  If there are three columns
