Try using this

package remote.bluefy.me;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnTouchListener;

public class Touchpad extends Activity{

private Button lclick;
private Button rclick;
private View touch;
private View side;
private float startX, startY;
private float endX, endY;
private boolean isDown = false;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.touch);

    touch=(View)findViewById(R.id.touch);       

    touch.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener(){

        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {

            switch(event.getAction())
            {
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                 if(isDown == false)
                 {
                 startX = event.getX();
                 startY = event.getY();
                 isDown = true;
                 }
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                 endX = event.getX();
                 endY = event.getY();
            }
            return false;
        }
