startSwipe

Starts swiping the provided ViewHolder. By default, ItemTouchHelper starts swiping a View when user swipes their finger (or mouse pointer) over the View. You can disable this behavior by overriding ItemTouchHelper.Callback

For this method to work:

• The provided ViewHolder must be a child of the RecyclerView to which this ItemTouchHelper is attached.
• ItemTouchHelper.Callback must have swiping enabled.
• There must be a previous touch event that was reported to the ItemTouchHelper through RecyclerView's ItemTouchListener mechanism. As long as no other ItemTouchListener grabs previous events, this should work as expected.

    viewHolder.dragButton.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            if (MotionEvent.getActionMasked(event) == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
                mItemTouchHelper.startSwipe(viewHolder);
            }
            return false;
        }
    });
