Edge flag set indicating all edges should be affected.

int EDGE_BOTTOM

Edge flag indicating that the bottom edge should be affected.

int EDGE_LEFT

Edge flag indicating that the left edge should be affected.

int EDGE_RIGHT

void captureChildView(View childView, int activePointerId)

Capture a specific child view for dragging within the parent.

boolean checkTouchSlop(int directions, int pointerId)

Check if the specified pointer tracked in the current gesture has crossed the required slop threshold.

boolean checkTouchSlop(int directions)

Check if any pointer tracked in the current gesture has crossed the required slop threshold.

boolean continueSettling(boolean deferCallbacks)

Move the captured settling view by the appropriate amount for the current time.

static ViewDragHelper create(ViewGroup forParent, float sensitivity, ViewDragHelper.Callback cb)

Factory method to create a new ViewDragHelper.

static ViewDragHelper create(ViewGroup forParent, ViewDragHelper.Callback cb)

Factory method to create a new ViewDragHelper.

View findTopChildUnder(int x, int y)

Find the topmost child under the given point within the parent view's coordinate system.

void flingCapturedView(int minLeft, int minTop, int maxLeft, int maxTop)

Settle the captured view based on standard free-moving fling behavior.

int getActivePointerId()
View getCapturedView()
