## What it is
DragSortListView is an Android ListView extension enabling drag-and-drop reordering of list items with smooth animations and scrolling. It is a rewrite of Android's TouchInterceptor with support for heterogeneous item heights and programmatic drag control.

## Use cases
- reorder list items by dragging in an android app
- implement drag and drop sortable listview
- build a todo list with drag to reorder
- fling to remove items from a list
- reorder cursor-backed adapter items

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy Android app already using ListView and need drag reordering
- you need a proven drag-sort ListView implementation for an old Android codebase

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new Android project - use modern RecyclerView-based drag libraries instead
- you need maintained software with active support
- you target recent Android versions where ListView patterns are deprecated

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, animation
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools, cross-platform
- platform: jvm
- tags: drag-and-drop, listview, android-ui, unmaintained, android, mobile
