Android - drag and drop - list rearrange

Question

How can I create a list where I can rearrange list items with dragging list rows to another row and so on (to change to order)?

Just like on the HTC Hero in the cloc

Answer 1

Hint: download the android sources and have a look how the Music app (packages\apps\Music) implements this functionality.

Answer 2

Pay special attention to this one

com.android.music.TouchInterceptor

Answer 3

Even though this question is already answered. I struggled using the music app as an example, so I created a simple Drag and Drop List project to help others that can be found here

Answer 4

It's in platform/packages/apps/Music/src/com/android/music/TouchInterceptor.java. Here's a direct link:

Answer 5

You can also try my recent implementation here:

• https://github.com/bauerca/drag-sort-listview

It gives smooth scrolling while dragging and supports list items with arbitrary heights. Lots of jumpy behavior has also been removed as compared to the TouchInterceptor.
