If someone is using ItemTouchHelper.Callback. Then You can remove any related flags in getMovementFlags(..) function.

@Override
public int getMovementFlags(RecyclerView recyclerView, RecyclerView.ViewHolder viewHolder) {
    int dragFlags = ItemTouchHelper.UP | ItemTouchHelper.DOWN;
    int swipeFlags = ItemTouchHelper.START | ItemTouchHelper.END;
    return makeMovementFlags(dragFlags, swipeFlags);
}

Here instead of dragFlags and swipeFlags You can pass 0 to disable corresponding feature.

ItemTouchHelper.START means swiping left to right in case of left to right locale (LTR application Support), but the other way around in a right to left locale (RTL application Support). ItemTouchHelper.END means swiping in the opposite direction of START.

so you can remove any flag according to your requirements.
