@Jeffery. Thanks for the updated info. I definitely second Mario's suggestions of writing a clear and informative post on the dev blog and update MotionEvent documentation to state the things you did here. Otherwise the contract is a bit of a mystery and there is no way for us to know about changes

ugh! Thanks for posting this message as this is a gnarly one and an example of ODM fragmentation if pointed IDs are not indexing correctly to the proper point data at least. I never was impressed by the multitouch API and always thought it wasn't thought out well and simply just tacked onto Motion

2011-04-28 Thread MichaelEGR
Greets, I found a critical Java NIO flaw in Honeycomb / Android 3.0. If "duplicate()" is called on a Buffer and that duplicate view is used to write to the buffer data integrity is not guaranteed. This is a regression for Honeycomb only at this point. I got stuck with a ~45 hour debug cycle to c
