copied!<p>For devices older than Android 4.0, see the paragraph following this one. Android 4.0 and later include Settings->Developer options->Pointer location toggle which toggles a transparent ribbon across the top of the device screen with coordinates, velocities and touch-pressure readings including swipe tracks and x/y crosshairs for the current touch location. This is a lot easier than using alternatives such as Monkey Recorder and other means. In Android 4.2 and later, Developer options is hidden from the Settings menu and must be enabled by going to Settings->About tablet and tapping on Build number seven times. One can only presume that Android hid Developer options because of the increasingly user-experience-affecting options it contains and the number of consumer calls/complaints to device makers from people who played with it or whose children played with it.</p> <p>In older versions which may not include a Pointer location toggle, there is an app on the Play Store (aka Android Market), Developers Tools. See link here: <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ggb.development" rel="nofollow">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ggb.development</a> It will show up with a gear icon and the caption Dev Tools on a device and provide similar functionality which Dev Tools in an AVD (Android Virtual Device) has. That includes Dev Tools ->Development settings>No Pointer Location/Pointer Location radio button toggle. Setting that toggle to Pointer Location provides the exact same functionality built-in with Android 4.0 and later. The same application also has a more limited pointer setting at Dev Tools->Pointer Location which limits pointer location to only a blank screen.</p> <p>Enjoy!</p>
