A Kotlin/AndroidX library that adds Google Photos-style drag multi-selection to Android RecyclerViews via a DragSelectTouchListener. It handles touch interception and auto-scroll hotspots, with RANGE and PATH selection modes.
Use cases
- implement google photos style multi-selection in a list
- drag to select multiple items in a recyclerview
- long press then drag to select items on android
- auto-scroll while selecting items in a long list
- add range or path selection mode to an android list
When to choose
- you have an Android RecyclerView and want drag-based multi-selection
- you want built-in auto-scroll hotspots during selection
- you prefer a small Kotlin/AndroidX library over building touch handling yourself
When to avoid
- your app is not Android or does not use RecyclerView
- you need selection in non-list views or Compose without interop
- you need a library under active development - releases have been infrequent since 2022
