SwipeDelMenuLayout is an Android library that adds swipe-to-reveal menus to list items. When a user swipes left or right on an item in a list, a set of buttons appears on the side, commonly used for actions like delete, mark as unread, or pin to top. This pattern is familiar from apps like WeChat and is also similar to how iOS list menus behave. The key design point of this library is that it works with any Android layout container, not just specific list types. Most similar libraries only support RecyclerView or ListView, but this one wraps around whatever you put inside it. You define the main content of your list item and the menu buttons in the same XML layout file, and the library handles the swipe gesture and animation. The library supports two interaction modes. One mimics the iOS blocking style, where opening a swipe menu on one item blocks interaction with everything else until that menu is closed. The other is a more permissive Android style where menus on different items can be opened without blocking each other. You can also configure which direction the swipe goes, left or right, and whether swiping is enabled at all for a given item, which is useful when some items in a list should not have swipe actions. Adding it to an Android project involves two lines in the build configuration file and then wrapping your list item layout in the library's custom view. The README includes XML and Java code examples showing how to set it up. The library is available through JitPack, which is a service that lets you add GitHub projects as Android dependencies directly. The full README is longer than what was shown.
