I want to implement a list of items and on swiping left->right the item should be remove, like a Gmail. Has Android some native Elements to develop such list?

Answer 1

No native api direct from android, but here is third level api "drag-sort-listview" that extendes the default listview

https://github.com/bauerca/drag-sort-listview

and the api has a remove option on swipe gesture.

Answer 2

Roman Nurik posted some beta code implementing this feature a couple of months ago. Caveat is that it's only compatible for ICS+ devices. Fortunately, Jake Wharton backported the code soon after publication, using the NineOldAndroids library.

• BETA Android 4.0-style "Swipe to Dismiss" sample code
• Backport of Roman Nurik's "Swipe-to-dismiss" sample code using NineOldAndroids to work on all API levels

The latter provides a sample APK too, in case you feel like having a play with the result first.

Answer 3

There is no native code to do that. However, you can check Roman Nurik's sample code here. Google Plus post here
