Target platforms

• API level 9 or later (However, some animations are not supported on Gingerbread.)

Latest version

• Version 0.8.3 (Oct. 27, 2015) (RELEASE NOTES)

If you are using support library v23.0.x, please use v0.8.1 instead.

Getting started

This library is published on jCenter. Just add these lines to build.gradle.

dependencies {
    compile ('com.h6ah4i.android.widget.advrecyclerview:advrecyclerview:0.8.3@aar'){
        transitive=true
    }
}

---

This library is provided as the AAR format. The source jar file won't be downloaded automatically (due to the current Gradle and Anndroid Studio limitation), so javadoc comments are not displayed on IDE.

Here is a workaround thanks to the superb AARLinkSources Gradle plugin !

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://raw.github.com/xujiaao/mvn-repository/master/releases' }
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.github.xujiaao:aarLinkSources:1.0.0'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'aar-link-sources'

android {
    ...
}

dependencies {
    compile ('com.h6ah4i.android.widget.advrecyclerview:advrecyclerview:0.8.3@aar'){
        transitive=true
    }
    aarLinkSources 'com.h6ah4i.android.widget.advrecyclerview:advrecyclerview:0.8.3:sources@jar'
}

Migration Guide

The version 0.8.0 has fixed a lot of issues and introduced some new features. Some interface has changed and some methods/values/classes are marked as deprecated. Here is a quick guide for migrating from v0.7.x.

Swipe

The SwipeableItemAdapter interface has been changed drastically. Also, some methods and some constants are marked as deprecated because vertical swipe feature is added.

Recommended way

Implement the new SwipeableItemAdapter.onItemSwipe() method which returns SwipeResultAction objects. The SwipeResultAction class has these three overridable methods;

• void onPerformAction()
  • => This method is called immediately after returning from the onItemSwipe() method. Can modify data set an
• void onSlideAnimationEnd()
  • => This method is called when the item slide animation is completed.
• void onCleanUp()
  • => This method is called after the onSlideAnimationEnd() method. Clear fields to avoid memory leak.

Easy way

Just change the interfaces which your adapter implementes as follows;

• SwipeableItemAdapter -> LegacySwipeableItemAdapter
• ExpandableSwipeableItemAdapter -> LegacyExpandableSwipeableItemAdapter

Drag & Drop

👉 No special changes are required.

Expand

👉 No special changes are required.
