[android help] Can't get x and y during drag and drop

Can't get x and y during drag and drop

For an App I am developing, I am implementing drag and drop. During the dragging process I want to get the current x and y position of the finger on screen as precise as possible. I have tried to use onTouchEvent as shown in the code below. However, this returns the x and y coordinates only when I am not dragging an object over the screen and it is also not precise enough. So my question is:

How do I get the current x and y coordinates when using drag and drop as precise as possible?

---

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
    int x = (int) event.getX();
    int y = (int) event.getY();

    switch (event.getAction()) {
    case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
        Log.d("Checks", "x and y: " + x + ", " + y);
        return true;
    }
    return true; 
}
