Dragging outside the recycler view

[samiede]

Hi!

I'm using the drag and drop implementation, but now I want to implement deleting items by dragging them over a floating action button. I am, however, constrained to the bounds of the recycler view and can't figure out how to enable dragging items outside the recycler view. I have tried setting android:clipChildren="false" android:clipToPadding="false" in the parent view, but that doesn't seem to help. Is this behavior supported in the library? Thanks a lot!

Add android:clipChildren="false" to the parent and android:clipToPadding="false" to the recyclerview.

My question is how to detect id of the view when drag&drop onto it?

This doesn't work either, unfortunately.

I admit, I haven't thought that far at this point, I tried making the drag and drop work first ;)

My xml file looks like this:

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:clipChildren="false">

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
    android:id="@+id/recycler_view"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    style="@style/myRecyclerViewStyle"
    android:clipToPadding="false"/>

<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
    android:id="@+id/dashboard_fab"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"
    android:layout_margin="@dimen/fab_margin"
    android:src="@drawable/ic_add_white" />

</FrameLayout>

Strange, I use RelativeLayout as parent and it works for me

Also doesn't work with Relative Layout as parent. I've tried setting the same in the example app for the draggable grid layout and it doesn't work there either.

Add android:clipChildren="false" to the parent and android:clipToPadding="false" to the recyclerview.

I have same question. I can drag out side, but don't know how to get drop location Id ?
