This code will help you:

public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) { int action = event.getAction(); switch(action & MotionEvent.ACTION_MASK) { case MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_DOWN: // multitouch!! - touch down int count = event.getPointerCount(); // Number of 'fingers' in this time break; } }
