        float x = event.getX();

This is probably what you're looking for: onTouchEvent

Are you looking for getRawX and getRawY?

What is the difference between getRawX or Y and getEventX and Y? – muneikh Jul 11 '12 at 06:38

`getRawX()` gives x-coordinate of event on screen, and `getX()` gives x-coordinate of event on view. So, `getX()` may be negative, if you move finger to left of your view. – Jin35 Jul 11 '12 at 07:13
