SwipeToAction

An easy way to add a simple 'swipe-and-do-something' behavior to your RecyclerView items. Just like in Gmail or Inbox apps.

Integration

The lib is available on Maven Central, you can find it with Gradle, please

dependencies {
    compile 'co.dift.ui.swipetoaction:library:1.0'
}

Usage

Check a demo project in the sample/ folder.

1. The view you'll use for the items should have at least 3 children:

• the one at the front (the last one or anyone with the tag=front)
• the one to reveal when you swipe to left (before the front view or anyone with tag=reveal-left)
• the one to reveal when you swipe to right (before the reveal-left view or anyone with tag=reveal-right)

 <!-- this view reveals when swipe right -->
 <RelativeLayout
    android:tag="reveal-right"
    android:background="@color/accent"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
        android:tint="@color/icons"
        android:src="@mipmap/ic_favorite_black_24dp"/>
 </RelativeLayout>

 <!-- this view reveals when swipe left -->
 <RelativeLayout
    android:tag="reveal-left"
    android:background="@color/primary"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
        android:tint="@color/icons"
        android:src="@mipmap/ic_delete_black_24dp"/>
 </RelativeLayout>

 <!-- this is the item front view -->
 <RelativeLayout
    android:tag="front"
    android:background="@color/item_background"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:padding="@dimen/item_padding">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/title"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/image"
        android:singleLine="true"
        android:textSize="16dp"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

 </RelativeLayout>

2. In the adapter for your RecyclerView create a ViewHolder that extends SwipeToAction.ViewHolder. For instance, in the sample project I have a list of books and my items are instances of a Book class therefore the ViewHolder inside the adapter looks like this:

   public class BookViewHolder extends SwipeToAction.ViewHolder<Book> {
     ...
     public BookViewHolder(View v) {
       super(v);
       ...
     }
   }

Also, in the onBindViewHolder method remember to set the item data to the view holder instance

  @Override
  public void onBindViewHolder(RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder, int position) {
    Book item = items.get(position);
    BookViewHolder vh = (BookViewHolder) holder;
    vh.data = item;

    ...

  }

3. Set the RecyclerView as usual to create a vertical list, set the previous adapter and instantiate SwipeToAction providing the recyclerView instance and a swipe listener SwipeToAction.SwipeListener<T>

  recyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.recycler);
  LinearLayoutManager layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this);
  recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
  recyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);

  adapter = new BooksAdapter(this.books);
  recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);

  swipeToAction = new SwipeToAction(recyclerView, new SwipeToAction.SwipeListener<Book>() {
    @Override
    public boolean swipeLeft(final Book itemData) {
        //do something
        return true; //true will move the front view to its starting position
    }

    @Override
    public boolean swipeRight(Book itemData) {
        //do something
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(Book itemData) {
        //do something
    }

    @Override
    public void onLongClick(Book itemData) {
        //do something
    }
  });
