how to get touchscreen co-ordinates in android ?

recently one of my reader sunilkumar tk wanted to share sample code to get the touch co-ordinates in android using java programming what does this code do? it simply grabs and returns the co-ordinates or location of the screen where the user has touched below is the sample code for the same.

package com.TouchScreen;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class TouchScreen extends Activity {
   /** Called when the activity is first created. */
   @Override
   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
   {
   super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
   setContentView(R.layout.main);
   final TextView textView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView);
   // this is the view on which you will listen for touch events 
   final View touchView = findViewById(R.id.touchView);
   touchView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
   @Override
   public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
   textView.setText("Touch coordinates : " +
   String.valueOf(event.getX()) + "x" + String.valueOf(event.getY()));
   return true;
   }
   });
   }
}
