animateRemove

Called when an item is removed from the RecyclerView. Implementors can choose whether and how to animate that change, but must always call dispatchRemoveFinished when done, either immediately (if no animation will occur) or after the animation actually finishes. The return value indicates whether an animation has been set up and whether the ItemAnimator's runPendingAnimations method should be called at the next opportunity. This mechanism allows ItemAnimator to set up individual animations as separate calls to animateAdd(), animateMove(), animateRemove(), and animateChange come in one by one, then start the animations together in the later call to runPendingAnimations.

This method may also be called for disappearing items which continue to exist in the RecyclerView, but for which the system does not have enough information to animate them out of view. In that case, the default animation for removing items is run on those items as well.
