I'm guessing your touch screen device has an API you can use?

Depends on the system.
Can you use Java SE? Then go for Swing. If I recall correctly, touches are handled as mouse events.
Can you use Java ME? Then go for that.
Any other systems?

As we've asked you before, please tell us which device you're programming on. I can tell you to look at MouseListener, JButton etc but that won't make any sense if you're stuck to JME.

Touch Screen applications are no different from other ordinary applications, except that instead of mouse person is using touch-screen mechanism. So, the application 'usually' does not have to do anything special. It is the device which should be capable of translating 'touch' on the screen into a mouse event for underlying UI.
