Simply Swipe any Normal Android View without third party library

Question

I want to move any normal view in my app along with swipe.

I am able to detect swipe using OnTouchListener in onTouch method. But am not able to move the view along with the swipe.

I want to move the view along with the swipe.

I think so that something i need to implement inside onTouch method to move the view or item along with swipe, but what i don't know.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

@azizbekian and @pskink it don't want to swipe it only for `RecyclerView` but also for `ListView` and any normal View. — kanudo, Aug 06 '17 at 07:04
so change your title to: "How to Simply Swipe items of ListView **and** RecyclerView **and** any normal View without third party library" — pskink, Aug 06 '17 at 07:12

You just need to use view.setTranslationX(diffX) for X coordinate and view.setTranslationY(diffY) for Y coordinate while its MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE under onTouch() method.

view.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

    float downX, downY, nowX, nowY, diffX, diffY;

    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {

        switch (event.getAction()) {

            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:

                downX = event.getRawX();
                downY = event.getRawY();
                break;

            case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:

                nowX = event.getRawX();
                nowY = event.getRawY();

                diffX = nowX - downX;
                diffY = nowY - downY;

                v.setTranslationX(diffX);
                v.setTranslationY(diffY);

                break;

            case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:

                break;
        }
        return true;
    }
});
