Making Sense of Multitouch Tweet

The word “multitouch” gets thrown around quite a bit and it’s not always clear what people are referring to. For some it’s about hardware capability, for others it refers to specific gesture support in software. Whatever you decide to call it, today we’re going to look at how to make your apps and views behave nicely with multiple fingers on the screen.

This post is going to be heavy on code examples. It will cover creating a custom View that responds to touch events and allows the user to manipulate an object drawn within it. To get the most out of the examples you should be familiar with setting up an Activity and the basics of the Android UI system. Full project source will be linked at the end.
