android find pressure on screen

Question

I would like to roughly understand the amount of pressure the finger presses on the capacitive screen on android. My idea is to get the area covered by the finger when it is touched (maybe some extra parameters to get it more accurate, but thats the main idea).

So, is there any way to find the are covered? (for example get the number of pixels covered).

Answer 1

There is only MotionEvent.getPressure() (which you probably already found). I doubt that there is something that reports how many pixel are covered by the finger.
