Question

m trying to build android new inbox style listview with swipe left and right as shown in this image , i have tried 47deg swipelistview but its not that stable , is there any other library available?!

Tried so far with 47 deg

 public class MainActivity extends Activity {

        Listview pullToRefreshListView;
        SwipeListView swipelistview;
        ItemAdapter adapter;
        List<ItemRow> itemData;

        @Override

            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

            pullToRefreshListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.example_swipe_lv_list);
            swipelistview = pullToRefreshListView.getRefreshableView();
            itemData = new ArrayList<ItemRow>();
            adapter = new ItemAdapter(this, R.layout.custom_row, itemData);

            swipelistview.setSwipeListViewListener(new BaseSwipeListViewListener() {
                @Override
                public void onOpened(int position, boolean toRight) {
                    if (toRight) {
                        adapter.remove(position);
                        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Open to dismiss",

Adapter class

public class ItemAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<ItemRow> {

    List<ItemRow> data;
    Context context;
    int layoutResID;

    public ItemAdapter(Context context, int layoutResourceId, List<ItemRow> data) {
        super(context, layoutResourceId, data);

        this.data = data;
        this.context = context;
        this.layoutResID = layoutResourceId;

        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    }

    NewsHolder holder = null;
    View row = null;

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

        row = convertView;
        holder = null;

        if (row == null) {
            LayoutInflater inflater = ((Activity) context).getLayoutInflater();
            row = inflater.inflate(layoutResID, parent, false);

            holder = new NewsHolder();

            holder.itemName = (TextView) row
                    .findViewById(R.id.example_itemname);
            holder.icon = (ImageView) row.findViewById(R.id.example_image);
            holder.imageViewRight = (ImageView) row
                    .findViewById(R.id.imageViewRight);
            holder.imageViewLeft = (ImageView) row
                    .findViewById(R.id.imageViewLeft);

            row.setTag(holder);
        } else {
            holder = (NewsHolder) row.getTag();
        }

        ItemRow itemdata = data.get(position);
        holder.itemName.setText(itemdata.getItemName());
        holder.icon.setImageDrawable(itemdata.getIcon());

        return row;

    }
    public void remove(int pos){
        data.remove(pos);

    }

    public void onLeft() {

        holder.imageViewLeft.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        holder.imageViewRight.setVisibility(View.GONE);
    }

    public void onRight() {
        holder.imageViewRight.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        holder.imageViewLeft.setVisibility(View.GONE);
    }

    static class NewsHolder {

        TextView itemName;
        ImageView icon;
        ImageView imageViewLeft, imageViewRight;

        RelativeLayout mRelativeLayout;
    }

Instead of using a custom ListView you can simply support "swipe" gesture on list items onTouch, like the following:

private static final int DEFAULT_THRESHOLD = 128;

row.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

    int initialX = 0;
    final float slop = ViewConfiguration.get(context).getScaledTouchSlop();

    public boolean onTouch(final View view, MotionEvent event) {
        if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
            initialX = (int) event.getX();
            view.setPadding(0, 0, 0, 0);
        } else if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE) {
            int currentX = (int) event.getX();
            int offset = currentX - initialX;
            if (Math.abs(offset) > slop) {
                view.setPadding(offset, 0, 0, 0);

                if (offset > DEFAULT_THRESHOLD) {
                    // TODO :: Do Right to Left action! And do nothing on action_up.
                } else if (offset < -DEFAULT_THRESHOLD) {
                    // TODO :: Do Left to Right action! And do nothing on action_up.
                }
            }
        } else if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP || event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL) {
            // Animate back if no action was performed.
            ValueAnimator animator = ValueAnimator.ofInt(view.getPaddingLeft(), 0);
            animator.addUpdateListener(new ValueAnimator.AnimatorUpdateListener() {
                @Override
                public void onAnimationUpdate(ValueAnimator valueAnimator) {
                    view.setPadding((Integer) valueAnimator.getAnimatedValue(), 0, 0, 0);
                }
            });
            animator.setDuration(150);
            animator.start();
        }
};

I also use reverse animation if no action was performed.

This solution is lightweight so you should not experience any lags.

Answer 2

Check out: SwipeActionAdapter

It's a great library that does exactly what you're asking for. It allows Swipe in both directions with an underlying Layout or Color. It's easy to implement and looks nice!
