Make widget drag'n'drop able and allow to scroll view


Assume you have a ListView with some Widgets to get scrolled up and down. Additionally, the Widget should be draggable

May I tell the Draggable, that a drag should start, if the user taps longer. And a scroll should happen, if the user taps shorter?

Code of the Draggable:

Draggable<EItem>(
                  data: widget.eItemStore.state,
                  dragAnchorStrategy: pointerDragAnchorStrategy,
                  feedback: feedbackWidget,
                  child: ConstrainedBox(
                    constraints: BoxConstraints( maxWidth: 350, minHeight: 30 ),
                      child: innerWidget(context, widget.eItemStore.state)),
                  onDragStarted: () {
                    // print('Drag started');
                  });

This problem appears solely on touch devices, since on a mouse pointer device, users may use the scroll wheel to scroll.


Solution

  • There is a widget especially to handle this case ReorderableListView. It will allow to reorder only on long press and allow scroll on shorter press

    import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
    
    void main() => runApp(const MyApp());
    
    class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
      const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
    
      static const String _title = 'Flutter Code Sample';
    
      @override
      Widget build(BuildContext context) {
        return MaterialApp(
          title: _title,
          home: Scaffold(
            appBar: AppBar(title: const Text(_title)),
            body: const MyStatefulWidget(),
          ),
        );
      }
    }
    
    class MyStatefulWidget extends StatefulWidget {
      const MyStatefulWidget({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
    
      @override
      State<MyStatefulWidget> createState() => _MyStatefulWidgetState();
    }
    
    class _MyStatefulWidgetState extends State<MyStatefulWidget> {
      final List<int> _items = List<int>.generate(50, (int index) => index);
    
      @override
      Widget build(BuildContext context) {
        final ColorScheme colorScheme = Theme.of(context).colorScheme;
        final Color oddItemColor = colorScheme.primary.withOpacity(0.05);
        final Color evenItemColor = colorScheme.primary.withOpacity(0.15);
    
        return ReorderableListView(
          padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 40),
          children: <Widget>[
            for (int index = 0; index < _items.length; index += 1)
              ListTile(
                key: Key('$index'),
                tileColor: _items[index].isOdd ? oddItemColor : evenItemColor,
                title: Text('Item ${_items[index]}'),
              ),
          ],
          onReorder: (int oldIndex, int newIndex) {
            setState(() {
              if (oldIndex < newIndex) {
                newIndex -= 1;
              }
              final int item = _items.removeAt(oldIndex);
              _items.insert(newIndex, item);
            });
          },
        );
      }
    }
