How do I enable MultiTouch on Android?

Introducing multi-touch

That’s called a “tap” gesture. Another gesture is called “drag”. That’s where you hold one finger on the screen and move it around, causing the content under your finger to scroll. Tap, drag, and a few other single-fingered gestures have always been supported in Android.

How does Android handle multi touch?

When multiple pointers touch the screen at the same time, the system generates the following touch events:

  1. ACTION_DOWN —For the first pointer that touches the screen. …
  2. ACTION_POINTER_DOWN —For extra pointers that enter the screen beyond the first. …
  3. ACTION_MOVE —A change has happened during a press gesture.
