ItemTouchHelper

public class ItemTouchHelper
extends RecyclerView.ItemDecoration implements RecyclerView.OnChildAttachStateChangeListener

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView.ItemDecoration
     ↳ android.support.v7.widget.helper.ItemTouchHelper

This is a utility class to add swipe to dismiss and drag & drop support to RecyclerView.

It works with a RecyclerView and a Callback class, which configures what type of interactions are enabled and also receives events when user performs these actions.

Depending on which functionality you support, you should override onMove(RecyclerView, ViewHolder, ViewHolder) and / or onSwiped(ViewHolder, int).

This class is designed to work with any LayoutManager but for certain situations, it can be optimized for your custom LayoutManager by extending methods in the ItemTouchHelper.Callback class or implementing ItemTouchHelper.ViewDropHandler interface in your LayoutManager.

By default, ItemTouchHelper moves the items' translateX/Y properties to reposition them. You can customize these behaviors by overriding onChildDraw(Canvas, RecyclerView, ViewHolder, float, float, int, boolean) or onChildDrawOver(Canvas, RecyclerView, ViewHolder, float, float, int, boolean).

Most of the time you only need to override onChildDraw.
