Drag & Drop app on another App

Hi All,

I have a requirement in which I aim to do.

#1. Drag an app and Drop it on my Application ICON in the Z1 apps home page

#2. Launch my App with the details of Drag & Dropped App.

For #1. The issue is, in the current scenario when I drag & drop an app, the icons are displaced and re-arranged to accomodate the dropped ICON (App).

As you know, Drop is possible on a Folder, without re-arrangement. I want to achieve such a behavior for my app, (which is not a folder). 

Any pointers on it, how can this be achieved... can it be done thru modifying the Home screen code? Method to do this please....

For #2. I think the launch can be handled thru App control.. 

 

your inputs are more than welcome.

Thanx,

Ashwini

Hello,

It looks like that such behavior is supported from the launcher of Z1. so I think that the launcher should support special api to achieve your requirement.

I couldn't find the revelent api in the native part in the SDK for it.

Hi,
I have faced with rearrange & uninstall actions for icons for Z1 only. I did not face with api to implement such functionality.

Hi Ashwini, 

Seems you want to lunch your App with draged APP details info, I just want to know which kind of info you want to pass to your APP, the icon, the name?

But as I tested and as Alex said, seems 2.3 API can't support such kind of operation, or you can share your whole idea, let's discuss if we have another way to implement your idea.

Hi All,

The info required would be the packageID of the dragged App. the rest of the details can be gathered thru the app_info API.

But the first hurdle I have is to Drop the App on MyApp Icon. As of now this is rearranged.

and then the launch will come into picture.

Thanx,

Ashwini
