This is something I have been afraid of but so far my provider hasn't released an upgrade so I am luckily still on 2.1. Thanks for a warning.
Any info on how the new galaxy tab 10.1 or Motorola xoom work with the mobile OL? I am about to get one of those so any feedback appreciated.

On the other hand HTC Desire Hd with android 2.2 enlarges the whole page no matter what (this happens with gmaps too). Some Samsung phones apparently had multiple-touch event support in the browser (as a Samsung specific change) in 2.1. However, some users (Daniel Morrisette) report that this functionality went away on an upgrade to 2.2. (This is in both GMaps and OL.) So, be careful about upgrading! This change was not in core android: The Android ticket for this functionality is: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11909 (As usual, this bug has no feedback from android devs, and presumably at some point in the future it will be closed along with 300 other tickets and a close message of 'fixed' with no details :)) Note that some earlier Android devices don't even have hardware support for this functionality: The G1 (/HTC Dream) had no multitouch at all, and the N1 (Google's early flagship) had 'weird' touch support where they were not actually distinct touches, so there was weird behavior... but I don't think either of these browsers supported multitouch at the JS level anyway. > The mentioned mobile example does indicate there is only one touch event happening no matter how many fingers are touching the screen. Not sure how it corresponds to the event console available in the sencha touch kitchen sink demo - here the console reports pinch when two fingers touch the screen. Thanks for the pointer! I'll look into this to extend the mobile demo. Strangly, the mobile demo uses the exact same mechanism that I understand the pinch-zoom to use internally, so I don't know why it's not able to report two fingers when pinch-zooming actually works! (The mobile example is *very* simple, so if anyone is interested in debugging this, comparing vs. the sencha example would be useful.) -- Chris > Dominik > > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Richard Greenwood > Sent: Sunday, March 06, 2011 11:06 PM > To: Cédric MOULLET > Cc: users > Subject: Re: [OpenLayers-Users] pinch zoom on Droid > > Thanks, Chris's explanation answered my question exactly. > > On Mar 6, 2011 8:26 AM, "Cédric MOULLET" <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello, > > Unfortunately, Android doesn't support multitouch (you can test that with > > the example http://www.openlayers.org/dev/examples/multitouch.html).
