DragEventpublic class DragEvent extends Object implements android.os.ParcelableRepresents an event that is sent out by the system at various times during a drag and drop
operation. It is a complex data structure that contains several important pieces of data about
the operation and the underlying data.
View objects that receive a DragEvent call {@link #getAction()}, which returns
an action type that indicates the state of the drag and drop operation. This allows a View
object to react to a change in state by changing its appearance or performing other actions.
For example, a View can react to the {@link #ACTION_DRAG_ENTERED} action type by
by changing one or more colors in its displayed image.
During a drag and drop operation, the system displays an image that the user drags. This image
is called a drag shadow. Several action types reflect the position of the drag shadow relative
to the View receiving the event.
Most methods return valid data only for certain event actions. This is summarized in the
following table. Each possible {@link #getAction()} value is listed in the first column. The
other columns indicate which method or methods return valid data for that getAction() value:
getAction() Value |
getClipDescription() |
getLocalState() |
getX() |
getY() |
getClipData() |
getResult() |

The {@link android.view.DragEvent#getAction()},
{@link android.view.DragEvent#describeContents()},
{@link android.view.DragEvent#writeToParcel(Parcel,int)}, and
{@link android.view.DragEvent#toString()} methods always return valid data.

private static final boolean | TRACK_RECYCLED_LOCATION | int | mAction | float | mX | float | mY | android.content.ClipDescription | mClipDescription | android.content.ClipData | mClipData | Object | mLocalState | boolean | mDragResult | private DragEvent | mNext | private RuntimeException | mRecycledLocation | private boolean | mRecycled | private static final int | MAX_RECYCLED | private static final Object | gRecyclerLock | private static int | gRecyclerUsed | private static DragEvent | gRecyclerTop | public static final int | ACTION_DRAG_STARTEDAction constant returned by {@link #getAction()}: Signals the start of a
drag and drop operation. The View should return {@code true} from its
{@link View#onDragEvent(DragEvent) onDragEvent()} handler method or
{@link View.View.OnDragListener#onDrag(View,DragEvent) OnDragListener.onDrag()} listener
if it can accept a drop. The onDragEvent() or onDrag() methods usually inspect the metadata
from {@link #getClipDescription()} to determine if they can accept the data contained in
this drag. For an operation that doesn't represent data transfer, these methods may
perform other actions to determine whether or not the View should accept the drag.
If the View wants to indicate that it is a valid drop target, it can also react by
changing its appearance.
A View only receives further drag events if it returns {@code true} in response to
ACTION_DRAG_STARTED.
| public static final int | ACTION_DRAG_LOCATIONAction constant returned by {@link #getAction()}: Sent to a View after
{@link #ACTION_DRAG_ENTERED} if the drag shadow is still within the View object's bounding
box. The {@link #getX()} and {@link #getY()} methods supply
the X and Y position of of the drag point within the View object's bounding box.
A View receives an {@link #ACTION_DRAG_ENTERED} event before receiving any
ACTION_DRAG_LOCATION events.
The system stops sending ACTION_DRAG_LOCATION events to a View once the user moves the
drag shadow out of the View object's bounding box. If the user moves the drag shadow back
into the View object's bounding box, the View receives an ACTION_DRAG_ENTERED again before
receiving any more ACTION_DRAG_LOCATION events.
| public static final int | ACTION_DROPAction constant returned by {@link #getAction()}: Signals to a View that the user
has released the drag shadow, and the drag point is within the bounding box of the View.
The View should retrieve the data from the DragEvent by calling {@link #getClipData()}.
The methods {@link #getX()} and {@link #getY()} return the X and Y position of the drop point
within the View object's bounding box.
The View should return {@code true} from its {@link View#onDragEvent(DragEvent)}
handler or {@link View.View.OnDragListener#onDrag(View,DragEvent) OnDragListener.onDrag()}
listener if it accepted the drop, and {@code false} if it ignored the drop.
The View can also react to this action by changing its appearance.
| public static final int | ACTION_DRAG_ENDEDAction constant returned by {@link #getAction()}: Signals to a View that the drag and drop
operation has concluded. A View that changed its appearance during the operation should
return to its usual drawing state in response to this event.
All views that received an ACTION_DRAG_STARTED event will receive the
ACTION_DRAG_ENDED event even if they are not currently visible when the drag ends.
The View object can call {@link #getResult()} to see the result of the operation.
If a View returned {@code true} in response to {@link #ACTION_DROP}, then
getResult() returns {@code true}, otherwise it returns {@code false}.
| public static final int | ACTION_DRAG_ENTEREDAction constant returned by {@link #getAction()}: Signals to a View that the drag point has
entered the bounding box of the View.
If the View can accept a drop, it can react to ACTION_DRAG_ENTERED
by changing its appearance in a way that tells the user that the View is the current
drop target.
The system stops sending ACTION_DRAG_LOCATION events to a View once the user moves the
drag shadow out of the View object's bounding box. If the user moves the drag shadow back
into the View object's bounding box, the View receives an ACTION_DRAG_ENTERED again before
receiving any more ACTION_DRAG_LOCATION events.
| public static final int | ACTION_DRAG_EXITEDAction constant returned by {@link #getAction()}: Signals that the user has moved the
drag shadow outside the bounding box of the View.
The View can react by changing its appearance in a way that tells the user that
View is no longer the immediate drop target.
After the system sends an ACTION_DRAG_EXITED event to the View, the View receives no more
ACTION_DRAG_LOCATION events until the user drags the drag shadow back over the View.

Methods Summary |
---|
public int | describeContents()Returns information about the {@link android.os.Parcel} representation of this DragEvent
object.
return 0;
| public int | getAction()Inspect the action value of this event.
return mAction;
| public android.content.ClipData | getClipData()Returns the {@link android.content.ClipData} object sent to the system as part of the call
to
{@link android.view.View#startDrag(ClipData,View.DragShadowBuilder,Object,int) startDrag()}.
This method only returns valid data if the event action is {@link #ACTION_DROP}.
return mClipData;
| public android.content.ClipDescription | getClipDescription()Returns the {@link android.content.ClipDescription} object contained in the
{@link android.content.ClipData} object sent to the system as part of the call to
{@link android.view.View#startDrag(ClipData,View.DragShadowBuilder,Object,int) startDrag()}.
The drag handler or listener for a View can use the metadata in this object to decide if the
View can accept the dragged View object's data.
This method returns valid data for all event actions.
return mClipDescription;
| public java.lang.Object | getLocalState()Returns the local state object sent to the system as part of the call to
{@link android.view.View#startDrag(ClipData,View.DragShadowBuilder,Object,int) startDrag()}.
The object is intended to provide local information about the drag and drop operation. For
example, it can indicate whether the drag and drop operation is a copy or a move.
This method returns valid data for all event actions.
return mLocalState;
| public boolean | getResult()
Returns an indication of the result of the drag and drop operation.
This method only returns valid data if the action type is {@link #ACTION_DRAG_ENDED}.
The return value depends on what happens after the user releases the drag shadow.
If the user releases the drag shadow on a View that can accept a drop, the system sends an
{@link #ACTION_DROP} event to the View object's drag event listener. If the listener
returns {@code true}, then getResult() will return {@code true}.
If the listener returns {@code false}, then getResult() returns {@code false}.
Notice that getResult() also returns {@code false} if no {@link #ACTION_DROP} is sent. This
happens, for example, when the user releases the drag shadow over an area outside of the
application. In this case, the system sends out {@link #ACTION_DRAG_ENDED} for the current
operation, but never sends out {@link #ACTION_DROP}.
return mDragResult;
| public float | getX()Gets the X coordinate of the drag point. The value is only valid if the event action is
{@link #ACTION_DRAG_LOCATION} or {@link #ACTION_DROP}.
return mX;

event action is {@link #ACTION_DRAG_ENTERED}, {@link #ACTION_DRAG_LOCATION},
{@link #ACTION_DROP}, or {@link #ACTION_DRAG_EXITED}.
