Interaction with locked ViewHolder in RecyclerView using ItemTouchHelper

Question

I'm using a custom ItemTouchListener to make my items in a RecyclerView swipeable. The ViewHolders have a RelativeLayout so when I'm swiping them left a pair of Buttons appear. But now my problem is that my Buttons are not clickable at the first touch after the swipe. I need to click the ViewHolder 3 times so i can interact with it again (clicking buttons, edit textviews).

In my custom ItemTouchHelper onChildDraw method I'm doing something like this to keep the ViewHolder at a specific position and make the buttons under the swipeable view visible:

if(dX > itemView.getWidth() / 4){
    dX = itemView.getWidth() / 4;
}
((CustomViewHolder) viewHolder).getSwipeAbleLayout().setTranslationX(dX);

It seems like the ViewHolder is still in swipe mode during the first two clicks.

Or does someone have a better solution to lock a ViewHolder at a specific position while swiping so that buttons appear which can be clicked to either remove the ViewHolder or swipe the ViewHolder back to normal position?

Answer 1

Consider using this github project - itemtouchhelper-extension . I got my all problem solved using that in my recent project. Its is having pretty good implmenation example as well. Try out.

Answer 2

I solved my problem by using following library: AndroidSwipeLayout

It is pretty simple to use. Can recommend it to everyone who needs to work with "locked RecyclerView items".
