Special Thanks

  • Roman Nurik - The ListViewAnimations library uses a modified version of his SwipeDismissListViewTouchListener to support swipe-to-dismiss.
  • DevBytes - Drag-and-Drop reordering is done by a modified version of their DynamicListView.
  • Jake Warthon - To support devices pre-HC (<3.0), a jar file of NineOldAndroids is included.
  • Emil Sjölander - If you're already using the StickyListHeaders library, the ListViewAnimations library makes sure your header views are animated as well. Therefore, a copy of the StickyListHeaders jar file is included.
