PhotoTouchHelper.java

public class PhotoTouchHelper  extends ItemTouchHelper.SimpleCallback {
    private PhotoAdapter mAdapter;
    private RecyclerView mRecyclerView;

    public GuideTouchHelper(PhotoAdapter adapter, RecyclerView recyclerView){
        super(ItemTouchHelper.UP | ItemTouchHelper.DOWN, ItemTouchHelper.LEFT | ItemTouchHelper.RIGHT);
        this.mAdapter = adapter;
        mRecyclerView = recyclerView;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onMove(RecyclerView recyclerView, RecyclerView.ViewHolder viewHolder, RecyclerView.ViewHolder target) {
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public void onSwiped(RecyclerView.ViewHolder viewHolder, int direction) {
        mAdapter.onItemRemove(viewHolder, mRecyclerView);
    }
}

what's this "GuideTouchHelper"?

Thank you so much for the code. It's very helpful. I have one question, is PhotoRemoveService left for our own implementation?

int mAdapterPosition = viewHolder.getAdapterPosition(); return always -1. I've used the previous int istead. final int adapterPosition = viewHolder.getAdapterPosition();

So, my code is:
.... public void onClick(View view) { productsList.add(adapterPosition, mPhoto); notifyItemInserted(adapterPosition); recyclerView.scrollToPosition(adapterPosition); productsRem.remove(mPhoto); }

The UNDO function now is fine
