I am new at android programming. I just want to learn how to drag and drop any component to anywhere. I found some articles and forum QAs but could not find the answer i need.
Iwould like to free alingment which is not relative or linear. just drag n drop anywere and no sibling item will be effected from another. Is it possible?
You could use the AbsoluteLayout, however that class is deprecated due to scaling issues. There also exists the FrameLayout class however generally that is only for a single child.
Please visit this thread, as it asks the same question and you may find the answers suiting.
