Question

In Android, we can set OnClickListeners for views.

But how do we intercept the location of the touch event?

Answer 1

there is method in Activity

public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event){
    int action = event.getAction();
    int x = event.getX()  
    int y = event.getY();
    return yourBoolean;
}

Edit: Or you can define OnTouchListener for any View and can use its method

public abstract boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event);

Edit2: the x and y values depends upon the method call. If you use onTouchEvent() of Activity then it indicates that no View consumes the touch event see documentation and if you handle it on any View then the x and y will be according to the View‘s area.
