DragDropSwipeRecyclerview VS recyclerview-animators

I've got a RecyclerView that shows a list of rows that need to be swiped (left/right) and dragged and dropped (rearranging order). This is surprisingly hard to get right on all vendors and versions of Android, and the advancedrecyclerview library has been awesome at dealing with all the details. It's abandoned, though, so I'm looking for a replacement. I found DragDropSwipeRecyclerview, which also seems abandoned. (In fact, RecyclerView itself hasn't had changes in a while.)

For Recyclerview you could use this library for some similar animations https://github.com/wasabeef/recyclerview-animators

Next, we looked at overriding SimpleItemAnimator but noticed that this class is missing a lot of logic required for orchestrating the animations. We realized that the Android SDK does not really allow us to easily customize RecyclerView item animations - what a shame! Doing some research on this we found two open-source libraries (here and here - note: this is no endorsement) that provide a variety of custom ItemAnimators by using a base ItemAnimator implementation that is very similar to the DefaultItemAnimator class but allows for proper customization. We ended up creating our own BaseItemAnimator by looking at DefaultItemAnimator and adapting it to our needs and then creating the actual implementation for the reaction feature. This allowed us to customize the “Add” animation like so:

Probably uses a library of some sort for animations, the rest would be Recyclerviews and components normal to Android. The whole thing is set in a Fragment/ Tabbed Activity.
