I'm trying to use multi-touch in an Android 2.0 app. How can I simulate this with an emulator using Eclipse? I can only seem to get the mouse to do one touch at a time.
To simulate a two finger drag hold the Alt/Option + Shift while clicking and dragging on the screen.
You can run multiple emulators at the same time simply by running your app again. When the AVD manager pops up, instead of selecting your already running emulator, click 'Launch Emulator' and select another emulator to launch.
Multi-touch is available since Android 2.0 and has been improved in the version 2.2. This description uses the API as of version 2.2. The MotionEvent. ACTION_POINTER_DOWN and MotionEvent.
Since ADT 17, it is possible to use a physical Android 4.0 device to send multitouch gestures to the emulator. See Android's instructions here.
Current version of emulator doesn't support multi-touch. You need device to do it!
Update:
The emulator supports multi-touch input, as an experimental feature in r17
