Android RecyclerView ItemTouchHelper revert swipe and restore view holder

Question

Is there a way to revert a swipe action and restore the view holder to its initial position after the swipe is completed and onSwiped is called

Answer 1

In the case of using LiveData to provide a list to a ListAdapter, calling notifyItemChanged does not work. However, I found a fugly workaround which involves re-attaching the ItemTouchHelper to the recycler view in onSwiped callback as such

val recyclerView = someRecyclerViewInYourCode

var itemTouchHelper: ItemTouchHelper? = null

val itemTouchCallback = object : ItemTouchHelper.Callback {
    override fun onSwiped(viewHolder: RecyclerView.ViewHolder, direction:Int) {
        itemTouchHelper?.attachToRecyclerView(null)
        itemTouchHelper?.attachToRecyclerView(recyclerView)
    }
}

itemTouchHelper = ItemTouchHelper(itemTouchCallback)

itemTouchHelper.attachToRecyclerView(recyclerView)
