Complete Example

Here's a complete working example showing how to use DragSelectableListView:

class DemoPage extends StatefulWidget {
  const DemoPage({super.key});

  @override
  State<DemoPage> createState() => _DemoPageState();
}

class _DemoPageState extends State<DemoPage> {
  int itemCount = 100;
  late DragSelectableProvider provider;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    List<bool> initialSelection = List.generate(itemCount, (_) => false);
    provider = DragSelectableProvider(initialSelection);
  }

  void _showToast() {
    Set<int> set = {};
    for (int i = 0; i < provider.selected.length; i++) {
      if (provider.selected[i]) {
        set.add(i);
      }
    }

    // Show toast to display selected elements
    String message;
    if (set.isEmpty) {
      message = "No items selected";
    } else {
      message = "Selected items: ${set.toList().join(', ')}";
    }

    ScaffoldMessenger.of(context).showSnackBar(
      SnackBar(
        content: Text(message),
        duration: Duration(seconds: 2),
        behavior: SnackBarBehavior.floating,
      ),
    );
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    provider.dispose();
    super.dispose();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(title: Text("Demo")),
      body: Column(
        children: [
          ElevatedButton(

                      ({
                required bool value,
                required ValueChanged<bool?> onChanged,
              }) => Transform.scale(
                scale: 1.2,
                child: Checkbox(
