Android Question Touch MotionEvent

[Robert Valentino]

How do I define a MotionEvent so I can reference the individual fields?

I have a Touch Event

X_Touch(ViewTag As Object, Action As Int, X As Float, Y As Float, MotionEvent As Object) As Boolean

And I want to determine it the event is a finger touch or a mouse click

Is there a way of mapping the MotionEvent object I am getting?

I guess what I need to do is getActionMasked so I can look for Pointer Up. I know there are values for mouse over touching

    View.OnTouchListener touchListener = new View.OnTouchListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            if (event.getActionMasked() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
                onTap(event.getRawX(), event.getRawY());
            }
            return false;
        }

Still trying:
When I log out the MotionEvent as an object I get the following output

MotionEvent:MotionEvent { action=ACTION_DOWN, actionButton=0, id[0]=0, x[0]=1255.9507, y[0]=48.113556, toolType[0]=TOOL_TYPE_MOUSE, buttonState=BUTTON_PRIMARY, classification=NONE, metaState=0, flags=0x0, edgeFlags=0x0, pointerCount=1, historySize=0, eventTime=3996583315, downTime=3996583315, deviceId=22, source=0x2002, displayId=0, eventId=565598001 }

MotionEvent:MotionEvent { action=ACTION_UP, actionButton=0, id[0]=0, x[0]=1255.9507, y[0]=48.113556, toolType[0]=TOOL_TYPE_MOUSE, buttonState=0, classification=NONE, metaState=0, flags=0x0, edgeFlags=0x0, pointerCount=1, historySize=0, eventTime=3996583419, downTime=3996583315, deviceId=22, source=0x2002, displayId=0, eventId=352123500 }

So I made a Type structure to try and map over it

  Type TMotionEvent(action As String, actionButton As Int, id() As Int, x() As Float, y() As Float, toolType() As String, buttonState As String, classification As String,  _
           metaState As Int, flags As Int, edgeFlags As Int, pointerCount As Int, historySize As Int, eventTime As Long, downTime As Long, deviceId As Int, source As Int,  _                displayId As Int, eventId As Long)

This causes a BIG time crash so that says to m the TMotionEvent is either not defined right ot MotionEvent is maybe a map and I have to ask for the fields???
