Use attribute android:layout_marginLeft, android:layout_marginRight, android:layout_marginTop and android:layout_marginBottom to define CardView margins.

Here is the CardView Documentation. Also see the Design Guidelines.

I also came up with the same problem. It didn't work even though I added android:layout_marginBottom .

But I found the solution. Your CardView should be inside the RelativeLayout. Then android:layout_marginBottom and android:layout_marginTop will work as expected.
