I have a LCD connected to an Arduino which displays images and the image is shown on the serial if it is touched. I want to send the data written on the serial to a PC using Xbee. I have configured the Xbee modules and they are working fine.
The problem i am facing is that the data to the PC is not being sent automatically. Instead if i write something in the serial then it is being shown on the PC. The code im using is

}
Example:
if ((x > 19 && x < 340) && (y > 21 && y < 212)) {
//button 'news'
Serial.println("Drinks");
'Drinks" is displayed on the serial if i touch the above coordinates. However, the data is not sent to the other Xbee module. if i manually write drinks in the serial, it shows on the other Xbee module.
Any solutions.
Thanks
