Delete Feature in ListView

Question

I have recently started on Android development platform.

I could not able to find a built-in delete feature in the list view which allows user to delete the row like iOS tableview does as shown in the following figure.

What is the common/standard way of doing it in the Android?

you have to do it by custom way check this you will get an idea http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13412341/how-to-add-remove-item-from-listview-in-android-when-click-button-in-item-listvi/13412658#13412658 — Pavan, Oct 09 '15 at 15:34
You delete by swiping the item left/right (well thats the most common way) and then a toast with an undo action. — Johan, Oct 09 '15 at 15:35

On top of the swipe-to-delete, it is generally expected that users can press and hold to select items. Once one or more items are selected, the action bar populates with relevant actions, sometimes including a trash can. — Jack, Oct 09 '15 at 15:41

You can implement a long click listener and set it to your listview:

listview.setOnItemLongClickListener(new OnItemLongClickListener() {

        public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1,
                int pos, long id) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            Log.v("long clicked","pos: " + pos);

            return true;
        }
    });

For instance, you can show a Contextual Menu Bar in the Action Bar or a Floating ContexTual Menu. You can also modify your adapter to change the item and show a "Delete", but this approach is not Android standard.
