Android browser touch event location

Question

On Safari, you can get the location of where the user touched the screen from event.pageX and event.pageY. However, on my Android browser, event.pageX and event.pageY are always 0. Is there any way to get the location of a touch event in the browser on Android?

Answer 1

This is from memory, since I don't own an Android device anymore, but I think it's right. At the very least, it should get you started in the right direction. Good luck.

var elem = document.getElementById('elem');
elem.addEventListener('touchend', function(e){
    var pageX = e.changedTouches[0].pageX,
        pageY = e.changedTouches[0].pageY;
}, false);
