How can I move an object around the screen by dragging in Android?

Question

So in my layout I have this ball which I want to drag around the screen. I tried using the onTouch() method, and these are my results:
1)((Button)findViewById(R.id.ball)).setY(event.getY());
((Button)findViewById(R.id.ball)).setX(event.getX());
This one is very glitchy for some reason. I try to move the ball and it just quickly goes back and forth between two different places.
2) ((Button)findViewById(R.id.ball)).setY(event.getRawY());
((Button)findViewById(R.id.ball)).setX(event.getRawX());
This one works a bit smoother, but when I start the movement the ball just teleports to some other place. It works fine except for that part where it "teleports"

What I want to achieve:
A normal drag movement of the ball where the ball is right beneath the finger (x and y coordinates of the ball match the x and y coordinates of the touch)

I can add screen recordings explaining the two cases above if needed

Answer 1

First make your activity implement View.OnTouchListener and import the requested method:

public class MyActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnTouchListener {}

Then change newly created onTouch method like below:

float dX, dY;

@Override
public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent event) {

switch (event.getAction()) {

    case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:

        dX = view.getX() - event.getRawX();
        dY = view.getY() - event.getRawY();
        break;

    case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:

        view.animate()
                .x(event.getRawX() + dX)
                .y(event.getRawY() + dY)
                .setDuration(0)
                .start();
        break;
    default:
        return false;
}
return true;
}

and finally set this onTouch method to your view:

ball.setOnTouchListener(this);
