Q:

How can I record touches?

Is there an existing app I can install that will record my touch interactions in the background?  I just saw this and it made me want to play around with my touch data to see what it looked like.  Didn't turn up any likely candidates here or in the Market.  Google seemed to indicate that it is certainly doable if you write your own foreground app (which I have no interest in doing because I want to record my touches in the entire system), and that it might be possible using a custom-developed background app, which might be a fun project but I'd rather install an existing app if possible.

A:

In Ice Cream Sandwich, I noticed a few cool features in the Developer options that are related to touches: Go to Settings -> Developer options.  There is the Pointer location option.  This shows an overlay of touch information such as coordinates and drag path.  There is also Show touches, which shows where your touching the screen.  The former might provide you some good information, but doesn't record the data for analysis later.  The latter is more for when you're recording a video so it's clear where the user is touching.
