@ohos.arkui.dragController (DragController)

The dragController module provides APIs for initiating drag actions. When receiving a gesture event, such as a click or long-press event, an application can initiate a drag action and carry drag information therein.

NOTE

The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 10. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

You can preview how this component looks on a real device. The preview is not yet available in the DevEco Studio Previewer.

Modules to Import

import dragController from "@ohos.arkui.dragController";

dragController.executeDrag

executeDrag(custom: CustomBuilder | DragItemInfo, dragInfo: DragInfo, callback: AsyncCallback<{event: DragEvent, extraParams: string}>): void

Initiates a drag action, with the object to be dragged and the drag information passed in. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result.

System capability: SystemCapability.ArkUI.ArkUI.Full

Parameters

Name Type Mandatory Description
custom CustomBuilder | DragItemInfo Yes Object to be dragged.
NOTE
The global builder is not supported. If the <Image> component is used in the builder, enable synchronous loading, that is, set the syncLoad attribute of the component to true. The builder is used only to generate the image displayed during the current dragging. Changes to the builder, if any, apply to the next dragging, but not to the current dragging.
dragInfo DragInfo Yes Drag information.
callback AsyncCallback<{event: DragEvent, extraParams: string}> Yes Callback used to return the result.
- event: drag event information that includes only the drag result.
- extraParams: extra information about the drag event.

Example

import dragController from "@ohos.arkui.dragController"
import UDC from '@ohos.data.unifiedDataChannel';

@Entry
@Component
struct DragControllerPage {
  @Builder DraggingBuilder() {
    Column() {
      Text("DraggingBuilder")
    }
    .width(100)
    .height(100)
    .backgroundColor(Color.Blue)
  }

  build() {
    Column() {
      Button('touch to execute drag')
        .onTouch((event?:TouchEvent) => {
          if(event){
            if (event.type == TouchType.Down) {
              let text = new UDC.Text()
              let unifiedData = new UDC.UnifiedData(text)

              let dragInfo: dragController.DragInfo = {
                pointerId: 0,
                data: unifiedData,
                extraParams: ''
              }
              class tmp{
                event:DragEvent|undefined = undefined
                extraParams:string = ''
              }
              let eve:tmp = new tmp()
              dragController.executeDrag(()=>{this.DraggingBuilder()}, dragInfo, (err, eve) => {
                if(eve.event){
                  if (eve.event.getResult() == DragResult.DRAG_SUCCESSFUL) {
                  // ...
                  } else if (eve.event.getResult() == DragResult.DRAG_FAILED) {
                  // ...
                  }
                }
              })
            }
          }
        })
    }
  }
}

dragController.executeDrag

executeDrag(custom: CustomBuilder | DragItemInfo, dragInfo: DragInfo): Promise<{event: DragEvent, extraParams: string}>

Initiates a drag action, with the object to be dragged and the drag information passed in. This API uses a promise to return the result.

System capability: SystemCapability.ArkUI.ArkUI.Full

Parameters

Name Type Mandatory Description
custom CustomBuilder | DragItemInfo Yes Object to be dragged.
dragInfo DragInfo Yes Drag information.

Return value

Type Description
Promise<{event: DragEvent, extraParams: string}> Promise used to return the result.
- event: drag event information that includes only the drag result.
- extraParams: extra information about the drag event.
