Drag and Drop: startDrag deprecated

Question

I tried the accepted solution here: startDrag method Deprecated and unable to compile the program

So:

 if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
     view.startDragAndDrop(data, shadowBuilder, view, 0);
 } else {
     view.startDrag(data, shadowBuilder, view, 0);
 }

But "startDrag" is crossed out and I have an error saying that it is deprecated, which means I can't compile.

I looked here: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/drag-drop.html

But the example they give is the deprecated solution:

  v.startDrag(dragData,  // the data to be dragged
              myShadow,  // the drag shadow builder
              null,      // no need to use local data
              0          // flags (not currently used, set to 0)
  );

So what can I use?

Actually, you can compile deprecated functions try to press the run button — Android Admirer, Jul 24 '17 at 15:22
deprecated means that this function will be left as is even if there is a bug and there is currently a better alternative that will be updated regularly if it has problems. — Android Admirer, Jul 24 '17 at 15:24
Thanks! However, when I try to run it, I get this weird error: Error:(170, 14) error: illegal character: '\ufeff' — Code Poet, Jul 24 '17 at 15:32

It's the last curly bracket. Ok, thanks for the link. I'll try and work it out, thanks again! — Code Poet, Jul 24 '17 at 15:37
