get touch event coordinates relative to the parent

Question

I have a linear layout that has an image in it I am trying to get the touch event coordinates of the image relative to the parent that contains it. Do you know I can I get these? getX and getY are returning position relative to self

Answer 1

The MotionEvent class has methods getX() to get X touch point corresponding to that view and getRawX() to get X touch point corresponding to screen.

So to get X touch point corresponding to parent you can get that by a simple calculation:

     view.getLeft() + motionEvent.getX()

The getLeft() returns Left position of this view relative to its parent
