Android Question Virtual joystick and multi-touch (gesture)

[kimstudio]

Dear all, If I put a virtual joystick in a panel, and on UI there is another panel with several action buttons, can the joystick and buttons fire at same time? I am confused on multi-touch, is multi-touch only needed for touches on one same panel? Thanks.

@kimstdio I think that is a panel (i think you talk about capacitive/ about the digitizer - right?) - features matter... ?

You can test the "panel" by pressing the same time 5-6-7 fingers or how want to have the same time...

As i remember new digitizers have for sure 10 diff. points the same time... or i am wrong?

Thanks Magma, my question is not clear.

I was confused on whether two panels on screen can be pushed together or not, then I tested putting one panel and one button on UI and they can fire touch/click event at same time. I think Android manages multi-touch in low level and dispatches messages to two panels one after one, but user doesn't need to manage multi-touch in this case. We only need multi-touch on one same view since it has only X and Y in its touch event.
