I have giving the full code that I have.
The code bellow can drag and drop very smoothly but it is not working like what I need like bellow description.
So, if drag "Apple" drop to "A for" it will be CORRECT and update text to "A for Apple" and Text "Apple" at drag will be hide... but if we drag "Apple" drop to "O for" or "B for" it will be failed because "O for Orange" and "B for Ball".
Based on the below code, what should I add.

Try the following code, it should work according to your description in the question. I have added an extra thing i.e. reset button as I felt it necessary.

Don't forget to check for target API level. As I had to add @SuppressLint("NewApi")
