I would consider attaching an ItemTouchHelper to your RecyclerView.
Implementation is something like this: new ItemTouchHelper(new ItemTouchHelper.SimpleCallback(0, ItemTouchHelper.RIGHT | ItemTouchHelper.LEFT) { @Override public boolean onMove(@NonNull RecyclerView recyclerView, @NonNull RecyclerView.ViewHolder viewHolder, @NonNull RecyclerView.ViewHolder viewHolder1) { return false; }
@Override public void onSwiped(@NonNull RecyclerView.ViewHolder viewHolder, int direction) { if (direction == ItemTouchHelper.RIGHT) { onPreviousMonth(); } else if (direction == ItemTouchHelper.LEFT) { onNextMonth(); } } }).attachToRecyclerView(recyclerView); please do vote the answer if it helped you in solving your problem
