Method Detail

getRow

public int getRow()
Returns the row index where a dropped item should be placed in the table. Interpretation of the value depends on the return of isInsertRow(). If that method returns true this value indicates the index where a new row should be inserted. Otherwise, it represents the value of an existing row on which the data was dropped. This index is in terms of the view.

-1 indicates that the drop occurred over empty space, and no row could be calculated.

Returns:
the drop row

getColumn

public int getColumn()
Returns the column index where a dropped item should be placed in the table. Interpretation of the value depends on the return of isInsertColumn(). If that method returns true this value indicates the index where a new column should be inserted. Otherwise, it represents the value of an existing column on which the data was dropped. This index is in terms of the view.

-1 indicates that the drop occurred over empty space, and no column could be calculated.

Returns:
the drop row

isInsertRow

public boolean isInsertRow()
