You can use Recyclerview instead of ListView. It has default animation while adding/removing items. You can check the code here or you can provide cross icon in the item and delete on click of it.

One solution is,

  • Add hidden checkbox in each listview row.

  • Add delete button on the toolbar/actionbar.

  • OnClicking delete button show checkboxes to select multiple items to delete.

  • Again clicking on delete should ask confirmation dialog and delete if user agrees.
