I have been working on this for some time now. Tough to get right, and I don't claim I do, but I'm happy with it so far. My code and several demos can be found at
Its use is very similar to the TouchInterceptor (on which the code is based), although significant implementation changes have been made.
DragSortListView has smooth and predictable scrolling while dragging and shuffling items. Item shuffles are much more consistent with the position of the dragging/floating item. Heterogeneous-height list items are supported. Drag-scrolling is customizable (I demonstrate rapid drag scrolling through a long list---not that an application comes to mind). Headers/Footers are respected. etc.?? Take a look.
Now it's pretty easy to implement for RecyclerView
with ItemTouchHelper. Just override onMove
method from ItemTouchHelper.Callback
:
@Override
public boolean onMove(RecyclerView recyclerView, RecyclerView.ViewHolder viewHolder, RecyclerView.ViewHolder target) {
mMovieAdapter.swap(viewHolder.getAdapterPosition(), target.getAdapterPosition());
return true;
}
Pretty good tutorial on this can be found at medium.com : Drag and Swipe with RecyclerView
Am adding this answer for the purpose of those who google about this..
There was an episode of DevBytes (ListView Cell Dragging and Rearranging) recently which explains how to do this
You can find it here also the sample code is available here.
What this code basically does is that it creates a dynamic listview
by the extension of listview
that supports cell dragging and swapping. So that you can use the DynamicListView
instead of your basic ListView
and that's it you have implemented a ListView with Drag and Drop.
The DragListView lib does this really neat with very nice support for custom animations such as elevation animations. It is also still maintained and updated on a regular basis.
Here is how you use it:
1: Add the lib to gradle first
dependencies {
compile 'com.github.woxthebox:draglistview:1.2.1'
}
2: Add list from xml
<com.woxthebox.draglistview.DragListView
android:id="@+id/draglistview"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
3: Set the drag listener
mDragListView.setDragListListener(new DragListView.DragListListener() {
@Override
public void onItemDragStarted(int position) {
}
@Override
public void onItemDragEnded(int fromPosition, int toPosition) {
}
});
4: Create an adapter overridden from DragItemAdapter
public class ItemAdapter extends DragItemAdapter<Pair<Long, String>, ItemAdapter.ViewHolder>
public ItemAdapter(ArrayList<Pair<Long, String>> list, int layoutId, int grabHandleId, boolean dragOnLongPress) {
super(dragOnLongPress);
mLayoutId = layoutId;
mGrabHandleId = grabHandleId;
setHasStableIds(true);
setItemList(list);
}
5: Implement a viewholder that extends from DragItemAdapter.ViewHolder
public class ViewHolder extends DragItemAdapter.ViewHolder {
public TextView mText;
public ViewHolder(final View itemView) {
super(itemView, mGrabHandleId);
mText = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.text);
}
@Override
public void onItemClicked(View view) {
}
@Override
public boolean onItemLongClicked(View view) {
return true;
}
}

I found DragSortListView worked well, although getting started on it could have been easier. Here's a brief tutorial on using it in Android Studio with an in-memory list:
Add this to the build.gradle
dependencies for your app:
compile 'asia.ivity.android:drag-sort-listview:1.0' // Corresponds to release 0.6.1
Create a resource for the drag handle ID by creating or adding to values/ids.xml
:
<resources>
... possibly other resources ...
<item type="id" name="drag_handle" />
</resources>
Create a layout for a list item that includes your favorite drag handle image, and assign its ID to the ID you created in step 2 (e.g. drag_handle
).
Create a DragSortListView layout, something like this:
<com.mobeta.android.dslv.DragSortListView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:dslv="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
dslv:drag_handle_id="@id/drag_handle"
dslv:float_background_color="@android:color/background_light"/>
Set an ArrayAdapter
derivative with a getView
override that renders your list item view.
final ArrayAdapter<MyItem> itemAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<MyItem>(this, R.layout.my_item, R.id.my_item_name, items) { // The third parameter works around ugly Android legacy. http://stackoverflow.com/a/18529511/145173
@Override public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View view = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
MyItem item = getItem(position);
((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.my_item_name)).setText(item.getName());
// ... Fill in other views ...
return view;
}
};
dragSortListView.setAdapter(itemAdapter);
Set a drop listener that rearranges the items as they are dropped.
dragSortListView.setDropListener(new DragSortListView.DropListener() {
@Override public void drop(int from, int to) {
MyItem movedItem = items.get(from);
items.remove(from);
if (from > to) --from;
items.add(to, movedItem);
itemAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
});
