SwipeListView by 47degree: swipe first item programmatically

Question

I would like to swipe the first item on the SwipeListView on Activity start up to show the user that the SwipeListView is swipe-able.

How can I perform this action programmatically with this UI element?

Update

I tried to use the

swipeListView.openAnimate(position)

that was proposed here in the answer, but for some reason even after I populate the adapter with data-items... when I debug and reach this code section the swipeListView doesn't see item in it, and fails with NullPointerException.

Update 2

Well, I realized that the reason there were no items in the adapter because it's not yet created in onCreate, so I moved this code to method:

public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus){}

of my activity, now it runs but still fails on the following method of the SwipeListView library:

 private void resetCell() {
    if (downPosition != ListView.INVALID_POSITION) {
        if (swipeCurrentAction == SwipeListView.SWIPE_ACTION_CHOICE) {
            backView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        }
        frontView.setClickable(opened.get(downPosition));
        frontView.setLongClickable(opened.get(downPosition));
        frontView = null;
        backView = null;
        downPosition = ListView.INVALID_POSITION;
    }
}

The reason for this is that when this method is running the frontView object is never set and those it null.

Answer 1

For openining the item you should use

swipeListView.openAnimate(position)

For closing the item you can use on of this:

swipeListView.closeAnimate(position);
swipeListView.closeOpenedItems();

Here is some code from working project:

private BaseSwipeListViewListener albumsLIstener = new BaseSwipeListViewListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClickFrontView(int position) {
        if (albumsListsView.isOpened(position)) {
            albumsListsView.closeAnimate(position);
        } else albumsListsView.openAnimate(position);
    }

    @Override
    public void onClickBackView(int position) {
        if (albumsListsView.isOpened(position)) {
            albumsListsView.closeAnimate(position);
        } else albumsListsView.openAnimate(position);
    }
};
