The DragSource is the entity responsible for the initiation of the Drag and Drop operation, and may be used in a number of scenarios:
  • 1 default instance per JVM for the lifetime of that JVM.
  • 1 instance per class of potential Drag Initiator object (e.g TextField). [implementation dependent]
  • 1 per instance of a particular Component, or application specific object associated with a Component instance in the GUI. [implementation dependent]
  • Some other arbitrary association. [implementation dependent]
Once the DragSource is obtained, a DragGestureRecognizer should also be obtained to associate the DragSource with a particular Component.

The initial interpretation of the user's gesture, and the subsequent starting of the drag operation are the responsibility of the implementing Component, which is usually implemented by a DragGestureRecognizer.

When a drag gesture occurs, the DragSource's startDrag() method shall be invoked in order to cause processing of the user's navigational gestures and delivery of Drag and Drop protocol notifications. A DragSource shall only permit a single Drag and Drop operation to be current at any one time, and shall reject any further startDrag() requests by throwing an IllegalDnDOperationException until such time as the extant operation is complete.

The startDrag() method invokes the createDragSourceContext() method to instantiate an appropriate DragSourceContext and associate the DragSourceContextPeer with that.

If the Drag and Drop System is unable to initiate a drag operation for some reason, the startDrag() method throws a java.awt.dnd.InvalidDnDOperationException to signal such a condition. Typically this exception is thrown when the underlying platform system is either not in a state to initiate a drag, or the parameters specified are invalid.

Note that during the drag, the set of operations exposed by the source at the start of the drag operation may not change until the operation is complete. The operation(s) are constant for the duration of the operation with respect to the DragSource.

Since:1.2

Serializes this DragSource. This method first performs default serialization. Next, it writes out this object's FlavorMap if and only if it can be serialized. If not, null is written instead. Next, it writes out Serializable listeners registered with this object. Listeners are written in a null-terminated sequence of 0 or more pairs. The pair consists of a String and an Object; the String indicates the type of the Object and is one of the following:
  • dragSourceListenerK indicating a DragSourceListener object;
  • dragSourceMotionListenerK indicating a DragSourceMotionListener object.
@serialDataEither a FlavorMap instance, or null, followed by a null-terminated sequence of 0 or more pairs; the pair consists of a String and an Object; the String indicates the type of the Object and is one of the following:
  • dragSourceListenerK indicating a DragSourceListener object;
  • dragSourceMotionListenerK indicating a DragSourceMotionListener object.

Deserializes this DragSource. This method first performs default deserialization. Next, this object's FlavorMap is deserialized by using the next object in the stream. If the resulting FlavorMap is null, this object's FlavorMap is set to the default FlavorMap for this thread's ClassLoader. Next, this object's listeners are deserialized by reading a null-terminated sequence of 0 or more key/value pairs from the stream:
  • If a key object is a String equal to dragSourceListenerK, a DragSourceListener is deserialized using the corresponding value object and added to this DragSource.
  • If a key object is a String equal to dragSourceMotionListenerK, a DragSourceMotionListener is deserialized using the corresponding value object and added to this DragSource.
  • Otherwise, the key/value pair is skipped.

Returns the drag gesture motion threshold. The drag gesture motion threshold defines the recommended behavior for MouseDragGestureRecognizers.

If the system property awt.dnd.drag.threshold is set to a positive integer, this method returns the value of the system property; otherwise if a pertinent desktop property is available and supported by the implementation of the Java platform, this method returns the value of that property; otherwise this method returns some default value. The pertinent desktop property can be queried using java.awt.Toolkit.getDesktopProperty("DnD.gestureMotionThreshold").
