title: Large free-scrolling view that can return co-ordinates of press
body: <p>I would like to display on screen a large view that the user can scroll in both directions (X and Y simultaneously, allowing diagonal scrolling as well). The view will be too large to to fit on screen so free-scrolling is absolutely vital. When the user presses on the view, I want to be able to know the co-ordinates of that press (co-ordinates of the actual view)..</p>
  
  <p>I understand that using a <code>WebView</code> and somehow capturing the X/Y press co-ordinates could work, but I'm a little apprehensive of making one of my activities HTML when the rest of the app is native java.</p>
  
  <p>What's the best way of achieving this in android?</p>
  
  <p>Edit: Bumped. I know this is an old question but I never got an answer and would still love to know.</p>
