I did a little test on a Motorola Droid: I took the TouchPaint demo from the SDK and added some log in onTouchEvent() method. Theses logs returns event.getPointerCount() value.
What i get is pretty weird: If a press with one fingern getPointerCount return mainly 1, but sometimes it reports 2! If i press with 2 fingers, getPointerCount returns 2 but if i try with 3 or more it still returns 2. So, is this behavior linked to screens imperfections in the Droid? or is it some kind of bug?
