- - ### Method Detail

    - #### getRow

          public int getRow()

      Returns the row index where a dropped item should be placed in the table. Interpretation of the value depends on the return of `isInsertRow()`. If that method returns `true` this value indicates the index where a new row should be inserted. Otherwise, it represents the value of an existing row on which the data was dropped. This index is in terms of the view.

      `-1` indicates that the drop occurred over empty space, and no row could be calculated.

      Returns:
        the drop row

    - #### getColumn

          public int getColumn()

      Returns the column index where a dropped item should be placed in the table. Interpretation of the value depends on the return of `isInsertColumn()`. If that method returns `true` this value indicates the index where a new column should be inserted. Otherwise, it represents the value of an existing column on which the data was dropped. This index is in terms of the view.

      `-1` indicates that the drop occurred over empty space, and no column could be calculated.

      Returns:
        the drop row

    - #### isInsertRow

          public boolean isInsertRow()

      Returns whether or not this location represents an insert of a row.
      Returns:
        whether or not this is an insert row

    - #### isInsertColumn

          public boolean isInsertColumn()

      Returns whether or not this location represents an insert of a column.
      Returns:
        whether or not this is an insert column

    - #### toString

          public String toString()

      Returns a string representation of this drop location. This method is intended to be used for debugging purposes, and the content and format of the returned string may vary between implementations.
      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `TransferHandler.DropLocation`
      Returns:
        a string representation of this drop location
