I have a RecyclerView where I want to enable Swipe to Delete/Star on items. My item is a FrameLayout where a MaterialCardView is on the top and the revealed star and archive layouts are under it.
I already made the swipe behavior work using onTouch method applied on the CardView only, but it's just way too hard to scroll across the list or use onClick or onLongClick as onTouch overrides them. The only way to scroll the RecyclerView or invoke onClick or onLongClick is to move only in Y axis without moving even a half pixel in X, as moving in X will invoke an ACTION_MOVE event that will redirect all next touch events only to the CardView. (requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent()) as the first statement of the switch case of ACTION_MOVE).
So I want to apply ItemTouchHelper or something similar on the CardView while having the ability to modify the way how the card X changes (To make it slower than user swiping speed like in irremovable notifications in Android) and get the MotionEvent that the user applies, and that's because ItemTouchHelper isn't very literal about what can be treated as a swipe, so it would allow onClick and onLongClick on small movements, and allow scrolling the list when the movement of Y axis is way greater than X's.
Please don't close this question saying "Too board" like a lot of other questions I had a chance to answer :(
