If you want o move a view on Android, you should implemts OnTouchListener.

In your layout you can define a view, in this case we use ImageView. But You can use any view.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    tools:context=".MainActivity"
    tools:showIn="@layout/activity_main"
    android:id="@+id/content_main_relative_layout"
    android:background="@android:color/holo_blue_light">

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:text="@string/activity_main_move_the_view" />
    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/content_main_image_view"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@android:drawable/ic_dialog_info"/>
</RelativeLayout>

Now in your activity when you implement View.OnTouchListener, In this listener you have different events, we use two (ACTION_DOWN and ACTION_MOVE) but you can use anyone.

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnTouchListener{

    ImageView mImageView;
    ViewGroup mRoot;
    private int mXDelta;
    private int mYDelta;


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        mRoot = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.content_main_relative_layout);
        mImageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.content_main_image_view);
        mImageView.setOnTouchListener(this);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {

        final int x = (int) event.getRawX();
        final int y = (int) event.getRawY();
        switch (event.getAction() & MotionEvent.ACTION_MASK) {
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lParams = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) mImageView.getLayoutParams();
                mXDelta = x - lParams.leftMargin;
                mYDelta = y - lParams.topMargin;
                break;
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_DOWN:
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_UP:
                break;
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
                RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) mImageView.getLayoutParams();
                layoutParams.leftMargin = x - mXDelta;
                layoutParams.topMargin = y - mYDelta;
                layoutParams.rightMargin = -250;
                layoutParams.bottomMargin = -250;
                mImageView.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
                break;
        }
        mRoot.invalidate();
        return true;
    }
}
