Good way to get X&Y coordinates from smartphone screen

I use another way to get X&Y coordinates from my smartphone screen:

1. I make a screenshot of my smartphone screen.
2. I download the screenshot file to my computer.
3. I open Windows Paint and use the mouse to place it on the desired position.
4. I read the X&Y coordinates from the Windows Paint status bar.

This way you get REALLY exact X&Y coordinates. Especially for screen content that is far more smaller, than your finger ;-)

Hope that helps.

You can be enable a developer option. Otherwise, try @Snurre's or my macro:)

I recommend to use Snurre's if you don't want to use a plugin.

Hi,

thanks for your reply.

Yes, I know this developer option "Pointer location" and have used it before.
I just wanted to add another method for getting the X&Y coordinates for someone who may like it.


- What do you mean by "try @Snurre's"?
- And where do I find your macro?
I don't understand your two links.
