I try to implement something like a "drag and drop" for a ListView. The task is simple. I have a "side menu" where I put some objects in a list. They are all shown there. What I want is to drag and drop one of them to the screen.
I first tried to use the OnTouchListener which offers me the drag&drop functionality I seek. So I do something like
@Override
public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent movEv) {
if (movEv.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
// DRAG
else if (movEv.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP)
// DROP
return false;
}
The point is, this simply gives me the information of the MotionEvent like X and Y position. What I need is the know WHICH item was clicked. Something like the OnItemClickListener
The problem is, the OnItemClickListener only works if I "click" on an item, implying I don't move the finger. The moment I move and release it, the Listener doesn't recognize this as a click any more. Therefore using
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int position, long id) {
// I know which item was pressed -> position
}
doesn't work.
Does anyone have any idea how to solve this? Can I somehow use the onItemClick already at the "onPressed" moment?
Thanks for any help!
