MotionEvent.getPointerCount() is always 1
android, android-gesture, multi-touch
Solution
The problem was that I was returning `false` in `onTouch`, therefore new touch events have not been generated.
Problem
I'm somehow getting unexpected results while trying to implement multitouch in my app. I'm never getting data for more than one pointer. Multitouch on my phone surely works, because I can pinch-zoom in browser and detect pinch gesture with GestureDetector, but the following sample prints `action=0 pointers=1` regardless of how many fingers I use to touch the screen. Is there something in configuration/AndroidManifest or Activity creation that I need to ``` @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); findViewById(R.id.ll1).setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() { @Override public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) { Log.d("TAG","onTouch action="+event.getAction()+" pointers="+event.getPointerCount()); return false; } }); } ``` layout: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/ll1" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" > </LinearLayout> ```
