How to record and play back touch movement in android studio from onTouchListener()

Question

I am new in android studio and app development in general. Right now I'm trying to realize a feature where an item can follow the user's finger around as if being dragged. I can do this by using onTouch to get the finger's coordinates and give them to the item, but now I need to be able to replay the motion with a click of a button. For example, if I drag the item in an S motion across the screen when I hit the play button, the item goes through the same motion again. I am not sure where to begin with implementing this, as my knowledge of the existing functions is still quite limited. Help would be greatly appreciated.

this is the code so far:

package com.example.trackballexp;

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.TextView;


public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private ConstraintLayout theLayout = null;
    //reference to the textview
    private TextView theText=null;
    //to save the coordinates
    private float x;
    private float y;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        theLayout=(ConstraintLayout) findViewById(R.id.theLayout);
        theText=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.theText);

        //set the onTouchListener on the layout
        theLayout.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent motionEvent) {

                //get x,y coordinate of finger
                x = motionEvent.getX();
                y = motionEvent.getY();

                //condition: event will rapidly fire if finger is moved
                if(motionEvent.getAction()==MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE)
                {
                    //move the text to the coordinates obtained
                    theText.setX(x);
                    theText.setY(y);
                }

                return true;

            }
        });
    }
