View that stores one object

Is there a view in android, that can store one object and display the object's toString() return value like a TextView?

Or do I have to mimic the behaviour in taking a ListView and ensure that only one item is in its adapter?

I need this, because I use drag & drop to move objects around and I need a view, that can display and store one of the objects.

Thank you!

yes, there is such a view and you already mentioned it. it's called TextView, and you'd use it like this,

TextView tv = (TextView)findObjectById(R.id.tv);
tv.setText(myObject.toString());

if you don't like like that, extend TextView like this,

class ToStringView extends TextView { 
  ...
  public void setObject(Object o) { setText(o.toString()); }
}

There is no such view. Depending on your requirements, you have to implement this functionality.
