## What it is
A demo application showing how to use Android's ItemTouchHelper to add drag & drop reordering and swipe-to-dismiss to RecyclerView lists. The helper classes are reusable in other projects and it accompanies a Medium article series.

## Use cases
- add drag and drop reordering to a RecyclerView list
- implement swipe-to-dismiss on list items in Android
- learn how ItemTouchHelper works with RecyclerView
- find example code for touch-driven list interactions
- reuse ItemTouchHelper callback classes in my own app

## When to choose
- you want a minimal, well-explained example of ItemTouchHelper usage
- you need reusable helper classes for drag & drop or swipe gestures in RecyclerView
- you are following the accompanying article series

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured drag-and-drop library with advanced animations and features
- you are not using RecyclerView or Java-based Android development
- you need actively maintained code with recent updates
