title: android multitouch, action pointer down not working properly
body: <p>i have tried to detect two touches on my two imagebuttons which is single Relative layout .
  The problem is its showing action_down values on both buttons but no action pointer down value.</p>
  
  <p>My code is as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>private int getIndex(MotionEvent event) {
      int idx = (event.getAction() &amp; MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_INDEX_MASK) &gt;&gt;     MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_INDEX_SHIFT;
      return idx;
  }
  
  @Override
  public boolean onTouch(View paramView, MotionEvent paramMotionEvent) {
      // TODO Auto-generated method stub
  //  Boolean state=false;
  //   int pointerCount = paramMotionEvent.getPointerCount();
      boolean val = false;
       int pointerIndex = paramMotionEvent.getAction() &amp; MotionEvent.ACTION_MASK;
  
       switch(pointerIndex)
       {
       case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN :{
  
              Log.i("fil", "action dowm");    
           break;
       }
       case MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_DOWN :{
           int id = paramMotionEvent.getPointerId(getIndex(paramMotionEvent));
              Log.d("fil", "Other point down ["+id+"]");
      Log.i("fil", "action pointer down");    
      break;
       }
       case MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_UP :{
           int id = paramMotionEvent.getPointerId(getIndex(paramMotionEvent));
              Log.d("fil", "Other point down ["+id+"]");
              Log.i("fil", "action pointer up");  
              break;
       }
       case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP :{
  
              Log.i("fil", "action up");  
           break;
       }
  
       }
  
  
  'my xml'
