Hi,
This is the wrong forum for that request, but I'll answer it:

If you are using a canvas from a SurfaceView, for example, you'll need to override the method "onTouchEvent(TouchEvent event)"


@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(final MotionEvent ev) {
switch (ev.getAction()) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN: {
// Code on finger down
float posX = ev.getX();
float posY = ev.getY()'

// 80x80 pixel square located 20 pixels left, 20 pixels top.
float x1 = 20, x2 = 100, y1 = 20, y2 = 100;

if ((posX >= x1 && posX <= x2) && (posY >= y1 && posY <= y2)) {
// we are in the square
} else {
// we are somewhere else on the canvas
}

break;
}
case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP: {
// Code on finger up
break;
}
case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE: {
// Code on finger move
break;
}
}
}


Hope that helps,

@@Moderator, could you move this?

So you know, you need to scroll down further on the home page, here is the link:

is it not possible to get touch event on the image itself , it will be difficult to get the area of the image and then use the above code

You can't get a touch event on the bitmap because the bitmap doesn't support any kind of touch handlers, it is simply a picture. The canvas is also another bitmap, it just supports an API that allows you to draw onto it with ease. The canvas and bitmap do not support being touched because that is out of the scope of what they do.

Your other alternative is to make a layout and add an ImageButton or ImageView to it, then you "setContentView(R.id.my_layout_file_name)" on the Activity. Then you can register a touch handler by calling "setOnClickListener()" on the ImageButton or ImageView.

Start with the Android documentation: User Interface | Android Developers

If you're still having problems, let me know.
