• If you're using 0.8.x, the best source of documentation on touch events actually comes from the Safari dev center - there are docs out there on Webkit's touch events, which you can use for this purpose. Bear in mind that 0.8.x will not be receiving any upgrades from Appcelerator, though…

• In a webView you can use :

    var touch=e.touches[0];
    var x=touch.clientX;
    var y=touch.clientY;
  

  where e come from :

  yourIdElement.ontouchstart=function(e)
  

  but there is also : ontouchmove, ontouchend etc…

• I've managed to find the answer through other forums.
  It's done through regular touch events and not TI events but it works fine.
  I've enclosed the code just in case someone else will be looking for this.

  document.addEventListener('touchstart', function(event) {
      event.preventDefault();
      var touch = event.touches[0];
      var a = Titanium.UI.createAlertDialog({
      title:'Alert Test',
      message:"Touch x:" + touch.pageX + ", y:" + touch.pageY});
  a.show();
  }, false);
