Android Textview onTouchEvent

Question

I'm trying to have a TextView follow my finger on touch. I have no idea on how to get this to work because none of the layouts use a coordinates system. Any ideas?

Answer 1

There is an absolute layout, but it's depricated. Not sure if you can do this with any "pretty" and "slick" look to it, but perhaps you can achieve something with relative layout.
