Drag and drop support in WebKit/HTML5/PhoneGap on iOS/Android mobile devices

with 6 comments

I just thought I will share some of my findings around drag and drop support in WebKit, HTML5 and PhoneGap apps running on iOS and Android devices.

To make the story short drag and drop is NOT support out of the box in the current versions of WebKit that run on iOS or Android devices although you can simulate it using mousedown, mousemove and mouseup events.

When I clean the code a bit you can expect and update to this post ;)

  1. Me and a colleague was wondering. After you do implement the drag and drop, how do you “save” it so that the view stay that way after they come back a day later…like iGoogle?

  2. You can save the position in localStorage or on server or anywhere ;)
