DragLinearLayout

An Android

LinearLayout

that supports draggable and swappable child

View

Why?

Why bother doing drag & swap in a

LinearLayout

when there are so many solutions for

ListView

Simplicity - no need for
```
ListAdapter
```
s. By default, works like a
```
LinearLayout
```
.
Flexibility - supports heterogeneous, selectively draggable (or not draggable), children.
Portability - can be used in any layout, e.g. as a child in a
```
ScrollView
```
container.

Usage

Add it to your project using Gradle:

compile 'com.jmedeisis:draglinearlayout:1.1.0'

The

DragLinearLayout

can be used in place of any

LinearLayout

. However, by default, children will not be draggable. To set an existing

View

as draggable, use

DragLinearLayout#setViewDraggable(View, View)

, passing in the child

View

and a (non-null!)

View

that will act as the handle for dragging it (this can be the

View

itself).

XML layout file:

<textview android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/text"></textview>

<imageview android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="120dp" android:scaletype="centerCrop" android:src="@drawable/image"></imageview>

<button android:id="@+id/button" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/button_text"></button>
</com.jmedeisis.draglinearlayout.draglinearlayout>

Enabling drag & swap for all child views:

DragLinearLayout dragLinearLayout = (DragLinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.container);
for(int i = 0; i < dragLinearLayout.getChildCount(); i++){
    View child = dragLinearLayout.getChildAt(i);
    // the child will act as its own drag handle
    dragLinearLayout.setViewDraggable(child, child);
}

Use

#addDragView(View, View)

#addDragView(View, View, int)

and

#removeDragView(View)

to manage draggable children dynamically:

final View view = View.inflate(context, R.layout.view_layout, null);
dragLinearLayout.addDragView(view, view.findViewById(R.id.view_drag_handle));

// ..
dragLinearLayout.removeDragView(view);

Attach an

OnViewSwapListener

with

#setOnViewSwapListener(OnViewSwapListener)

to detect changes to the ordering of child

View

dragLinearLayout.setOnViewSwapListener(new DragLinearLayout.OnViewSwapListener() {
    @Override
    public void onSwap(View firstView, int firstPosition,
            View secondView, int secondPosition) {
        // update data, etc..
    }
});

When placing the

DragLinearLayout

inside a

ScrollView

, call

#setContainerScrollView(ScrollView)

to enable the user to scroll while dragging a child view.

For best visual results, use children that have opaque backgrounds. Furthermore, do not use horizontal padding for the

DragLinearLayout

; instead, let children apply their own horizontal padding.

Refer to the included sample activity project for a demonstration of the above usage techniques and more.

Limitations

Supports only the
```
LinearLayout#VERTICAL
```
orientation.
