        }

        background.draw(c);
        icon.draw(c);
    }
}

Code leaves the bloody trash can in the middle of the row if the user doesn't complete the swipe!

Hi,
there is a bug on this for left to right swipe

line 55 and 56 should be

int iconLeft = itemView.getLeft() + iconMargin;
int iconRight = itemView.getLeft() + iconMargin + icon.getIntrinsicWidth();

Thank you! That saved my day :)

My problem was that the icon not disappeared after the user cancelled the swipe.
This solved my problem:

} else {  // view is unSwiped
      icon.setBounds(0, 0, 0, 0);     // ADD THIS LINE
      background.setBounds(0, 0, 0, 0);
   }

Can you provide a link to the TaskAdapter code and coordinator_layout.xml. Thanks

or you just don't draw it

for me, Icon does not show. icon.draw(c) is not working

@ZaccharieBOUVY you're welcome.

thanks man!
