title: Android multitouch?
body: <p>As a developer, I tend to program first then research later. I was trying to implement a screen that would handle multiple user inputs. Basically map more than just one finger. I tried two things.. </p>
  
  <p>I had an Activity class that implemented OnTouchListener. Here I had two separate child views that added the Activity as their ontouch listeners. And then I had a print line that printed out the event.getPointerCount() and printed out the location of each of the pointers.. </p>
  
  <p>Downloaded it to the phone and tested it. I noticed that the pointers never grew greater than two. I even noticed if one finger was on one child and another finger on the other child view that the events only made it to the first child component. Next I tried to put separate listeners on each of the child components to see if that would work but it acted the same.</p>
  
  <p>So, it seems that the android only supports a total of two user inputs when dealing with inputs from the user touching the screen.</p>
  
  <p>Is this true? It seems from testing and research that this is the case.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone ran into this limitation. Any clever work arounds?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for you time and responses. </p>
