DEPRECATED!

Swipe to dismiss feature is added to Android support library. So, it would be better to use that implementation. You can find example here

How to

Add to your project build.gradle file

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:22.2.0'
}

In your project init RecyclerView, LayoutManager, Adapter and ItemTouchHelper

    // init recycler view
    RecyclerView recyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.recyclerView);
    
    // init layout manager
    LayoutManager layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this);
    // or 
    // LayoutManager layoutManager = new GridLayoutManager(this, 2);
    // or
    // LayoutManager layoutManager = new StaggeredGridLayoutManager(3, StaggeredGridLayoutManager.VERTICAL);
    recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
    
    // init data
    final List<String> items = getItems(); // implement #getItems method by yourself

    // init adapter
    RecyclerView.Adapter<CustomViewHolder> adapter = new RecyclerView.Adapter<CustomViewHolder>() {
        @Override
        public CustomViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup viewGroup, final int i) {
        // inflate your view here
            View view = LayoutInflater.from(viewGroup.getContext()).inflate(android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1
                        , viewGroup, false);
            // optionally, to support selectors (different 'colors' on touch/press)
            view.setBackgroundResource(android.R.drawable.list_selector_background);
            view.setClickable(true);
        
            return new CustomViewHolder(view);
        }

        @Override
        public void onBindViewHolder(CustomViewHolder viewHolder, int i) {
            // populate view holder
            viewHolder.mTextView.setText(items.get(i));
        }

        @Override
        public int getItemCount() {
            return mItems.size();
        }
    };
    
    recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);

    // init swipe to dismiss logic
    ItemTouchHelper swipeToDismissTouchHelper = new ItemTouchHelper(new ItemTouchHelper.SimpleCallback(
                ItemTouchHelper.LEFT | ItemTouchHelper.RIGHT, ItemTouchHelper.LEFT | ItemTouchHelper.RIGHT) {
        @Override
        public boolean onMove(RecyclerView recyclerView, RecyclerView.ViewHolder viewHolder, RecyclerView.ViewHolder target) {
            // callback for drag-n-drop, false to skip this feature
            return false;
        }

        @Override
        public void onSwiped(RecyclerView.ViewHolder viewHolder, int direction) {
            // callback for swipe to dismiss, removing item from data and adapter
            items.remove(viewHolder.getAdapterPosition());
            adapter.notifyItemRemoved(viewHolder.getAdapterPosition());
        }
    });
    swipeToDismissTouchHelper.attachToRecyclerView(mRecyclerView);

That's it.
