Pinch Zoom Gesture android
<p>The android developer page <a href="http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/gestures.html" rel="nofollow">http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/gestures.html</a> lists that pinch open and pinch close are supported  by android API.But I could not find the appropriate API / method which does that .Most of the posts suggest that the native pinch is not available.</p>

<p>Is the native pinch and zoom available for android 4.1 + applications? If so which is the API.</p>

<p>(Edit : I am a newbie to android and any pointers  or resources on how to zoom  individual elements in canvas like rectangle would be so valuable to me.Thanks)</p>
