How to get position of pixel touched in android studio xml?

I'm trying to get the actual touch pixel of a background image of an android studio xml. I'm trying to start a new activity when touch position is in bounds of desired coordinates. Thank you!

Solution

  • you can set onTouchListener() on your layout with background image.

    RelativeLayout mainLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.main_layout);
mainLayout.setOnTouchListener(this); // in this case activity should implements  View.OnTouchListener

    Then use something like that

    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
    Point touchPlace = new Point();
    touchPlace.set(event.getX(), event.getY());
}
