Today we will learn how to create android drag drop functionality using DragLinearLayout. Android DragLinearLayout library can be used in place of any LinearLayout. To do this we’ll add a third party library in our build.gradle file as follows:

implementation 'com.jmedeisis:draglinearlayout:1.1.0' 

activity_main.xml​


    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

        android:id="@+id/container"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"

        android:layout_height="match_parent">

                    android:id="@+id/textView1"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="60dp"
            android:text=" Example 1"
            android:textSize="30dp"
            android:textStyle="bold"
            android:layout_marginTop="2dp"
            android:background="@color/colorRed"/>

                    android:id="@+id/textView2"

            android:layout_height="60dp"
            android:layout_marginTop="2dp"
            android:text=" Example 5"
            android:textSize="30dp"
            android:textStyle="bold"
            android:background="@color/colorCyan" />

                    android:id="@+id/textView6"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="60dp"
            android:layout_marginTop="2dp"
            android:text=" Example 6"
            android:textSize="30dp"
            android:textStyle="bold"

MainActivity.java

 

package com.friendvilla.simplecode;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;

import com.jmedeisis.draglinearlayout.DragLinearLayout;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);


        DragLinearLayout dragLinearLayout = (DragLinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.container);
        // set all children draggable except the first (the header)
        for(int i = 0; i < dragLinearLayout.getChildCount(); i++){
            View child = dragLinearLayout.getChildAt(i);
            dragLinearLayout.setViewDraggable(child, child); // the child is its own drag handle
        }
    }
}
