swipe-to-dismiss-for-recyclerview

gistfile1.txt

As of v27.0, the Android support team has included an ItemTouchHelper class that makes swipe-to-dismiss and drag-and-drop pretty simple. This may not be as full-featured as some of the libraries out there, but it comes directly from the Android team.

Update your build.gradle to import v27.+ of the RecyclerView library

compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:27.+'
Instantiate an ItemTouchHelper with an appropriate SimpleCallback

ItemTouchHelper.SimpleCallback simpleItemTouchCallback = new ItemTouchHelper.SimpleCallback(0, ItemTouchHelper.LEFT | ItemTouchHelper.RIGHT) {
    [...]
    @Override
    public void onSwiped(RecyclerView.ViewHolder viewHolder, int swipeDir) {
        //Remove swiped item from list and notify the RecyclerView
    }
};

ItemTouchHelper itemTouchHelper = new ItemTouchHelper(simpleItemTouchCallback);

** Note that the SimpleCallback takes in the directions that you want to enable drag-and-drop and the directions that you want to enable swiping.

Attach to your RecyclerView

itemTouchHelper.attachToRecyclerView(recyclerView);
