How do i get the x,y coordinate for a screen touch?

Is there a simple way to obtain the x,y coordinate whenever someone touches the screen while my app is running? Just looking to store them in some integers.

its very simple to get the coordinates position where the user touched on screen.

 @Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
    // MotionEvent object holds X-Y values
    if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
        String text = "You click at x = " + event.getX() + " and y = " + event.getY();
        Toast.makeText(this, text, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }

    return super.onTouchEvent(event);
}

Override onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) and then call event.getX() and event.getY() to get the coordinate positions of where the user touched [they will be floats].
