Question

I’m starting out in android development, and I’ve been tackling the basics of a user interface, currently that means dragging and dropping images. I finally found a good example of that here for a textview, but I’d like to use it to drag around an imageview. What changes would I be required to make in order to have that occur? Thanks in advance for being patient with such a basic question.

Answer 1

These two lines:

_view = new TextView(this);
_view.setText("TextView!!!!!!!!");

Just have to be changed to:

_view = new ImageView(this);
_view.setImageResource(R.drawable...); // Whatever image

And TextView _view; has to be changed to ImageView _view;.

A note, though… you should probably learn a bit about what the code does, and how to manipulate View objects in Android Java before getting too heavily into code like this.
