Android - Creating Resizable View

Question

I am currently working on a Dashboard with movable and resizable views. The problem I have now is that I want to resize the view by touch gestures. Therefore, I thought of a Point which I add to a view on selection, which can be dragged to resize the selected view. This is similar to the resizing procedure on the Android Homescreen.

Even after a long research, I could not come up with a solution on how to overlay another view, which has its own DragListener. I could imagine putting the selected view and the point into one ViewGroup and having the Point overlay the View. Did someone have experience with this problem? Thank you in advance.
