Android Question List with draggable reordering

[shaffnert03]

A section of an app I'm working on is meant to allow users to sort the order of the items in a list easily. My ideal option for this would be to have a list of items that the users can drag back and forth to re-sort. The listview lists don't seem the most conducive to this in my mind, particularly if I want the user to see an animation of the selected item being dragged. Does anyone have thoughts on a way to do this easily?

My backup plan is to have each item have an up and down button and the user can order that way, but it's more clunky and may require lots of clicks so I thought I'd see if anyone had suggestions about an approach like that described above first. Many thanks for the help!

Search for Ultimate Listview, it prepared for drag and drop in every way you want!

rboeck, that looks good but that listview would apparently cost me 25 euros to acquire (I didn't know people were charging for extra libraries; when did that start?). That's a bit steep for the one drag and drop ability I want when I have a backup plan in mind. Is there a library out there that won't cost me a substantial portion of my original B4A buying costs again?

Okay, it appears there's another solution that's free by the same creator of Ultimate Listview. https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/class-checklist.18853/#content has a list that includes drag and drop, or at least says it does. For now I'm going to try that solution. I'll post here again if it doesn't work for me; otherwise I'd suggest anyone else looking for similar to check there. Thanks!
