GridView Get Item On Touch

Question

I\'m trying to get the item selected when i touch a gridview, i cant use the onClick as that starts another activity. What I\'m trying to achieve is to be able to move items in

Answer 1

To get the item that was 'touched'

gridView.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent me) {

            int action = me.getActionMasked();  // MotionEvent types such as ACTION_UP, ACTION_DOWN
            float currentXPosition = me.getX();
            float currentYPosition = me.getY();
            int position = gridView.pointToPosition((int) currentXPosition, (int) currentYPosition);

            // Access text in the cell, or the object itself
            String s = (String) gridView.getItemAtPosition(position);
            TextView tv = (TextView) gridView.getChildAt(position);
    }
}
