How can I detect number of mice/fingers clicked at once?

MGlolenstine

Ok, so I'm making an Android application, which needs to detect number of fingers currently pressed, so it can use that number as different "buttons".

How would I go about doing that?

P.s: I don't want to use any prebuild libraries, because I want to learn how to do it "Vanilla" way.

Thanks!

@MGlolenstine===

that is easy:

you import the android motionEvent class && in your onTouchEvent(event) method you ask for that:

int nbrefingers = event.getPointerCount();
