`

private static String getActionName(MotionEvent event) {
   try {
       for (Field f : MotionEvent.class.getFields()) {
           if (f.getName().startsWith("ACTION_") &&
               f.getInt(null) == event.getAction()) {
                   return f.getName();
            }
        }
    }
    catch (IllegalAccessException ignored) {}
    return event.getAction()+"";
}

It's not clear if anyone actually answered this question but regardless of the pedantry of whether it is a non-existant mouseevent or a MotionEvent @Satyam asked how to get the name of the action not its value!! Instead of criticizing the questioner, or highlighting his knowledge gap, for not reading. it behoves the answerers to actually read the question. This should be used: 

MotionEvent ev 
me.actionToString (me.getAction());

It is very useful when logging an app's progress while debugging. I wish there was a similar method for the DragEvent but I have to take a longer path...

There's no such thing as mouse event on Android. You probably meant MotionEvents. You have the description and explanation of each action in the official SDK documentation (which btw you should read before asking).

You can put code like,

int action = event.getAction();
switch (action) {
    case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
        //code here....
        break;
    case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
        //code here....
        break;
    case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
        //code here....
        break;
    case MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL:
        //code here....
        break;
}
