Overriding the dispatchDragEvent function as suggested at that link worked for me:

@Override
public boolean dispatchDragEvent(DragEvent ev){
    boolean r = super.dispatchDragEvent(ev);
    if (r && (ev.getAction() == DragEvent.ACTION_DRAG_STARTED
            || ev.getAction() == DragEvent.ACTION_DRAG_ENDED)){
        // If we got a start or end and the return value is true, our
        // onDragEvent wasn't called by ViewGroup.dispatchDragEvent
        // So we do it here.
        onDragEvent(ev);
    }
    return r;
}
