How to get the Touch position in android?

Question

I need to get the touch begin position (X, Y) , touch move position and touch end position of the screen in android.

Answer 1

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event)
{
    int x = (int)event.getX();
    int y = (int)event.getY();

    switch (event.getAction()) {
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
    }

    return false;
}

The three cases are so that you can react to different types of events, in this example tapping or dragging or lifting the finger again.
