A good candidate for RecyclerView? If I recall, it provides built-in support for swiping items.

I don't think I've done it personally yet but I saw this related article on that topic in the Android Weekly newsletter recently. In general, I believe we should always use RecyclerViews as they provide more consistent presentation across API levels in my experience, but I've seen strong opinions to the contrary.

Change 354837 abandoned by Dbrant:
Add swipe to dismiss article tab functionality

Reason:
Shelving for now, since we're still not sure how we'd like to proceed with this. If this patch could be made very small, then it could be accepted, but otherwise we'd probably rather rework the whole way that we display the tabs to the user, but that will require some more design and user research.
