I Want Drag & Drop on Android Too!
summary
Shows how to implement drag-and-drop on Android using RecyclerView's ItemTouchHelper by overriding onMove/onSwiped/onMoved, calling notifyItemMoved and updating the ViewModel list (batching updates in clearView rather than making per-step API calls). Covers Jetpack DragAndDrop 1.0 for intra‑app and cross‑app transfers using DragStartHelper, ClipData (text/URI/Intent), DragShadowBuilder, and DropHelper.configureView with MIME filters, plus using FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION and FileProvider/ContentProvider for app-to-app file sharing. Notes that Jetpack Compose currently only offers DetectDragGestures and lacks full drag-shadow/drop helper support.
