Hi

I have noticed that when I add

system.activate( "multitouch" )

it works perfectly on IOS but fails on android when the buttons pressed are more that 2 (at the sametime).

2 buttons pressed at the same time work fine on android, but if you try to press 3 , only 2 "press down", the 3rd is unresponsive.

This is using local ui = require("ui")

cheers

Matt

Unfortunately, this may a hardware limitation of your device.

"Multitouch does not work correctly on some Android devices (e.g., NexusOne, HTC Incredible, etc.). This can be demonstrated in Drag Me Multitouch sample app. This is a limitation of the current Android platforms and not Corona."

Different devices have different number of maximum touch points. Nexus One can only manage two simultaneous touch events. The Iconia A500 Tab can handle more than I've been able fit on screen = )

Yeah. Most android devices work like this:

fingers / touch type
0 / no touch
1 / single touch
2 / double touch
>2 / palm touch
