Unable to detect if a rectangle is touched in libgdx - input

Question

I have a rectangle with a sprite on it and I have to detect if the touch position lies within the rectangle.
This is my code,
if (Gdx.input.isTouched())
{
int x1 = Gdx.input.getX();
int y1 = Gdx.input.getY();
Vector3 inputs = new Vector3(x1, y1, 0);
gamecam.unproject(inputs);
Gdx.app.log("x" + inputs.x, "y" + inputs.y);
Gdx.app.log("rect" + rectangle.x, "rect" + rectangle.y);
if(rectangle.contains(inputs.x,inputs.y))
{
Gdx.app.log("x" + inputs.x, "y" + inputs.y);
Gdx.app.log("rect" + rectangle, "rect" + rectangle.y);
}
}
Rectangle definition,
BodyDef bdef = new BodyDef();
bdef.type = BodyDef.BodyType.StaticBody;
b2body = screen.getWorld().createBody(bdef);
rectangle = new Rectangle();
rectangle.setHeight(55);
rectangle.setWidth(55);
PolygonShape head = new PolygonShape();
rectangle.setX(300);
rectangle.setY(10);
bdef.position.set((rectangle.getX() - rectangle.getWidth() / 2) / MyJungleGame.PPM, (rectangle.getY() - rectangle.getHeight() / 2) / MyJungleGame.PPM);
head.setAsBox(rectangle.getWidth() / 2 / MyJungleGame.PPM, rectangle.getHeight() / 2 / MyJungleGame.PPM);
FixtureDef fdef = new FixtureDef();
fdef.shape = head;
setPosition(b2body.getPosition().x - getWidth() / 2, b2body.getPosition().y - getHeight() / 2);
This is my output,
The small rectangle at the bottom of the screen is the rectangle I created. But, nothing happens when I click it. I checked the coordinates and here is the log,
x-0.925: y-0.5625
rect300.0: rect10.0
x-0.925: y-0.5625
rect300.0: rect10.0
x-0.925: y-0.5625
I tried checking the touch using the below method,
if (inputs.x > sprite.getX() && inputs.x < sprite.getX() + sprite.getWidth())
{
if (inputs.y > sprite.getY() && inputs.y < sprite.getY() + sprite.getHeight())
{
Gdx.app.log("sprite touched", "");
}
}
This too doesn't work. Any idea where I made the mistake ? Please help . Thanks in advance

Since you are using Box2D, to detect collisions via the common way is more complicated to new users.
However, looking on your code...
I would advice taking this coordinates in consideration with PPM of your world :
int x1 = Gdx.input.getX();
int y1 = Gdx.input.getY();
Vector3 inputs = new Vector3(x1, y1, 0);
Also, If you are going to build a collision system with box2d, you should use this : http://www.aurelienribon.com/blog/2011/07/box2d-tutorial-collision-filtering/
