Detect touch on ImageView

The example demonstrate how to detect touch event and position on ImageView, by implementing OnTouchListener().

MainActivity.java

package com.example.androiddrawbitmap;

import java.io.FileNotFoundException;

import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.view.View.OnTouchListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
 
 Button btnLoadImage;
 TextView textSource, textInfo;
 ImageView imageResult;
 
 final int RQS_IMAGE1 = 1;

 Uri source;
 Bitmap bitmapMaster;
 Canvas canvasMaster;

 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
  
  btnLoadImage = (Button)findViewById(R.id.loadimage);
  textSource = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.sourceuri);
  imageResult = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.result);
  
  btnLoadImage.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){

   @Override
   public void onClick(View arg0) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
      android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
    startActivityForResult(intent, RQS_IMAGE1);
   }});
  
  imageResult.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener(){

   @Override
   public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
    
    int action = event.getAction();
    int x = (int) event.getX();
    int y = (int) event.getY();
    switch(action){
    case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
     textSource.setText("ACTION_DOWN- " + x + " : " + y);
     break;
    case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
     textSource.setText("ACTION_MOVE- " + x + " : " + y);
     break;
    case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
     textSource.setText("ACTION_UP- " + x + " : " + y);
     break;
    }
    /*
     * Return 'true' to indicate that the event have been consumed.
     * If auto-generated 'false', your code can detect ACTION_DOWN only,
     * cannot detect ACTION_MOVE and ACTION_UP.
     */
    return true;
   }});
 }

 @Override
 protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
  super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
  if(resultCode == RESULT_OK){
   switch (requestCode){
   case RQS_IMAGE1:
    source = data.getData();
    textSource.setText(source.toString());
    
    try {
     bitmapMaster = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(
       getContentResolver().openInputStream(source));
     imageResult.setImageBitmap(bitmapMaster);
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
     // TODO Auto-generated catch block
     e.printStackTrace();
    }
    
    break;
   }
  }
 }

}
