Disable swipe to dismiss for certain positions

[vkotovv]

Swipe to dismiss feature is working nice, thanks. But can I disable this feature for certain positions/items (e.g. first item) in the RecyclerView? I'd like to use the same section for all items, because they are literally the same.

I'm using 3.x branch.

Hi,

You can enable/disable swipe gesture for different ItemBinders. If you are using same ItemBinder, you have to override 'getSwipeDirections' and return different flags based on adapter position.

How do I get current position inside ViewHolder class (if I'm using the same binder)?

I've used a flag in my model to indicate if swipe is enabled. Thanks for the info!

Here is the code in my ViewHolder:

        override fun getSwipeDirections(): Int {
            return if (item.canSwipe) {
                ItemTouchHelper.LEFT or ItemTouchHelper.RIGHT
            } else {
                0
            }
        }
