And the last thing you have to do to test your Drag & Drop feature is to enable listening for drops in Droppey.

<application
    android:resizeableActivity="true"/>
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
    enableDropListener()
  }
  private fun enableDropListener() {
    val notesDrop = findViewById<TextView>(R.id.notesDrop)

    notesDrop.setOnDragListener { _, event ->
      if (event.action == ACTION_DROP) {
        val notes = event.clipData.getItemAt(0).text

        notesDrop.text = notes
      }

      true
    }
  }
