I am using recyclerview 22.2.0 and the helper class ItemTouchHelper.SimpleCallback to enable swipe-to-dismiss option to my list. But as I have a type of header on it, I

Answer 1

First in recyclerView at onCreateViewHolder method, set tag for each viewHolder type, like below code:

@Override
public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup viewGroup, int viewType) {
    if(ITEM_TYPE_NORMAL == viewType) {
        View v = LayoutInflater.from(viewGroup.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.deposite_card_view, viewGroup, false);
        ItemViewHolder holder = new ItemViewHolder(context, v);
        holder.itemView.setTag("normal");
        return holder;
    } else {
        View v = LayoutInflater.from(viewGroup.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.card_header, viewGroup, false);
        HeaderViewHolder holder = new HeaderViewHolder(context, v);
        holder.itemView.setTag("header");
        return holder;
    }
} 

then in ItemTouchHelper.Callback implementation, update getMovementFlags method, like below:

public class SwipeController extends ItemTouchHelper.Callback {

@Override
public int getMovementFlags(RecyclerView recyclerView, RecyclerView.ViewHolder viewHolder) {
    if("normal".equalsIgnoreCase((String) viewHolder.itemView.getTag())) {
        return makeMovementFlags(0, LEFT | RIGHT);
    } else {
        return 0;
    }
}

at end attach to recyclerView:

final SwipeController swipeController = new SwipeController();

    ItemTouchHelper itemTouchHelper = new ItemTouchHelper(swipeController);
    itemTouchHelper.attachToRecyclerView(recyclerView);
