title: Android: Measure/detect covered area by a finger touch on screen (NOT only touch coordinates)
body: <p>I would like to get access to the area covered by a finger for each touch event on an Android.</p>
  
  <p>Every touch event will result in a coordinate pair X and Y independent of how big the finger and consequently the touch area is that triggered the event.</p>
  
  <p>I was wondering if there is a way to get the area data which triggered the touch event e.g. size or coordinates NOT</p>
  
  <p>Any help is much appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for you answer or redirects,</p>
