I currently have something working where I can drag a box horizontally on the screen (what I want it to do). However, it works when you click ANYWHERE on the screen, and I want it to work only when the box has been clicked. I have tried implementing this in different ways, and I've looked all over the place and still remain lost. Can anybody help? I also can't figure out how a bitmap is placed (I'm using a bitmap right now as I can't for the life of me figure out how to implement the ImageView inside my SurfaceView). If I say my bitmap is placed at 0,0 will that place the bitmap according to its top left corner at 0,0? I also had an algorithm for stopping the box when it reached an edge, but I'll just have to rewrite that as I must have deleted it. Please if you can offer your knowledge I would GREATLY appreciate it
