does Drag & Drop for mobile web app is possible?

[Ram]

Dear Appery,

is it possible for a mobile web app to allow the user, for ex., to drag a component (label, list, collapsible or any other specific component) that is holding some string, lets say "Appery's support rocks!" to another component, say that component is a button, once the user fires the drop event on the button then the button caption will changed to "Appery's support rocks!"...

if the above is possible then i'd love to get some pointers on how to get this done!

Thank you all in advance!!
Cheers,
R.

Is this when you are developing the app or running the final app?

[Ram]

for running the final app, meaning, for the end user benefits.

You probably can.. but this requires very strong JavaScript expertise. You can build anything that the browser will support. The app that you build in Appery.io simply runs in the browser.

Max,

I see that most users use the following lib hjQuery UI Touch Punch is a small hack that enables the use of touch events on sites using the jQuery UI user interface library to get the drag drop functionality, i tried their samples using my mobile it it works very well, their implementation supposed to be only one line of code, however i get an error when trying to use that lib, here's what i did:

1. added the lib as a JS asset

2. placed a button on the page

3. on page load JS:

   code
   Appery('mobilebutton_1').draggable();
   /code

   i get the this error: "TypeError: Appery(...).draggable is not a function"

   I'd love to get your input on that!
   Thx much,
   R.

Appery(..) is just a wrapper to a jQuery select: http://docs.appery.io/javascript-api/. You can try using it directly.

got it to work, thx max.

Hello Matt! Perhaps Ram didn't add jquery UI, should be working if add it.
