Android / Java - Add textView to Drag-Drop GridView Tutorial / Example

[admin]

I've create a project based on a few classes from the following tutorial:

<a href="http://blahti.wordpress.com/2012/03/03/improved-drag-drop-for-gridview/" rel="nofollow">http://blahti.wordpress.com/2012/03/03/improved-drag-drop-for-gridview/</a>

Now I'm attempting to modify the example to be able to drag and drop not only an image - but an image and a textView at the same time.

How can this be accomplished?

I've instantiated the textView already:

tx = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);

Now I believe I'll need to modify the tutorial's acceptDrop method (in it's DropTarget class) but I'm not 100% sure how to do so.

The bottom line:

I simply need a bit of figuring out how to add a textView to this simple drag and drop gridView tutorial.

P.S.

I left a comment regarding doing this in the tutorial's comment section and the author mentioned the following:

"You will need to come up with a custom class to define the items that go in the gridview. That view would display the text and an image. Have the new class implement the drag-drop interfaces. In the acceptDrop method copy both the text and the image.

Part of the problem you face is similar to having a custom list item with a list view. It might be good to find a few examples of that before you take on the drag-drop part."

I simply need a bit of help doing so...
