I would like to be able to show on the screen something like the mouse cursor on PC's. Does anyone know how to do it with an app or by modifying the options on the device?

Many Android tablets will provide a mouse cursor system-wide if you connect a Bluetooth mouse. Or do you mean something different, using either the touch controls or D-pad/trackball somehow? – CloudyMusic Apr 19 '12 at 17:50 Add a comment | 2 Answers 2 ActiveOldestVotes 10
This example demonstrates about how do I get the touch position on android device. Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml. Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java
Handily, Android has a way to show touch events on the screen, and these would be picked up by the screen recording software. The option is hidden in a Developer Settings menu, but here’s how to enable it: Open Settings on the Android device.

Indeed the setting is in Developer Options as in @CommonsWare's answer. On Jelly Bean, the location of it started being even trickier.
