java - Recyclerview - Overlap items bottom to top

Question

I have set the negative margin for items like this:-

ItemDecoration.java

public class ItemDecorator extends RecyclerView.ItemDecoration {
    private final int mSpace;

    public ItemDecorator(int space) {
        this.mSpace = space;
    }

    @Override
    public void getItemOffsets(Rect outRect, View view, RecyclerView parent, RecyclerView.State state) {
        int position = parent.getChildAdapterPosition(view);
        if (position != 0)
            outRect.top = mSpace;
    }
}

MainActivity.java

recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this));
recyclerView.addItemDecoration(new ItemDecorator(-80));

This causes top item to stack lowest and next item after the top item overlaps it. I want top item to overlap its next item and so on.

Current View

Required View

Try this way and render your recycler view in reverse direction.

LinearLayoutManager layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this);
        layoutManager.setReverseLayout(true);
        layoutManager.setStackFromEnd(true);
        recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
