Version 1.0

Version 1.0.0

May 11, 2022

androidx.draganddrop:draganddrop:1.0.0 is released. Version 1.0.0 contains these commits.

Major features of 1.0.0

DropHelper, the first member of the draganddrop library, is a utility class that simplifies implementation of drag and drop capabilities. Use DropHelper to specify drop targets, customize drop target highlighting, and define how dropped data is handled.

• DropHelper leverages Jetpack’s OnReceiveContentListener to provide target-specific processing of drag and drop ClipData. DropHelper enhances the user experience by configuring drop targets to display a highlight as users drag content over the targets. The DropHelper.Options nested class enables you to customize the appearance of the default highlight.
• DropHelper attaches an OnReceiveContentListener to drop targets and configures drop targets to listen for drag and drop events. Do not attach an OnDragListener or additional OnReceiveContentListener to drop targets when using DropHelper.
• DropHelper.Options gives you the ability to list all EditText elements contained in the view hierarchy of complex drop targets. If any are present, they must be specified in this way. DropHelper prevents the EditText elements from stealing focus from the drop target when users drag data over the target. If the drag and drop ClipData includes text and URI data, DropHelper selects one of the EditText elements in the drop target to handle the text data when the ClipData is dropped.

Features in initial release

DropHelper, the first member of the draganddrop library, is a utility class that simplifies implementation of drag and drop capabilities. Use DropHelper to specify drop targets, customize drop target highlighting, and define how dropped data is handled.

DropHelper leverages Jetpack’s OnReceiveContentListener to provide target-specific processing of drag and drop ClipData. DropHelper enhances the user experience by configuring drop targets to display a highlight as users drag content over the targets. The DropHelper.Options nested class enables you to customize the color and corner radius of the default highlight.

DropHelper.Options also gives you the ability to list all EditText elements contained in the view hierarchy of complex drop targets. DropHelper prevents the EditText elements from stealing focus from the drop target when users drag data over the target. If the drag and drop ClipData includes text and URI data, DropHelper selects one of the EditText elements in the drop target to handle the text data when the ClipData is dropped.
