as far as I am aware this facility will only be available on android 4 Ice
Cream Sandwich. I do not have this so cannot test it but I believe that what is
needed is to draw a rectangle on the touchscreen. I know that some people have
found this difficult and I saw a discussion there was a suggestion that the
gesture be amended to drawing the rectangle around the edges of the whole
touchscreen. This is not the case at the moment though you have android 4 you
could experiment. think you start with the top left corner but cannot really be
sure.
