Resource for Android Slight Left/Right Slide action on listview

Question

I am not sure if this question has been asked here or not. I look for a way to simulate the slide action in listview of Android. Similar to that of Samsung Galaxy/Nexus contact

Answer 1

This is how I realize this action. We have a ListView lvSimple and we add onTouchListener to our lvSimple. This is my working code.

float historicX = Float.NaN, historicY = Float.NaN;
static final int DELTA = 50;
enum Direction {LEFT, RIGHT;}
...
ListView lvSimple = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.linLayout);
...
lvSimple.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) 
    {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        switch (event.getAction()) 
        {
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
            historicX = event.getX();
            historicY = event.getY();
            break;

            case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
            if (event.getX() - historicX < -DELTA) 
            {
                FunctionDeleteRowWhenSlidingLeft();
                return true;
            }
            else if (event.getX() - historicX > DELTA)  
            {
                FunctionDeleteRowWhenSlidingRight();
                return true;
            } break;
            default: return false;
        }
        return false;
    }
});

where function FunctionDeleteRowWhenSlidingLeft() is calling when when we sliding to the left, FunctionDeleteRowWhenSlidingRight - to the right respectively. In this function you need paste code for animation.
