multi touch - Multiple button presses for Android 2.x

Question

I am relatively new to this still, and I have been developing a small app that would benefit greatly from a user being able to press 2 buttons at one time. What is the best method for achieving this? I dont think that an OnClickListener works like that, and I have seen examples for doing this with an OnTouch event. However, I do not know how to set up button presses with an OnTouch event.

You would have to handle touch events yourself. With the multi-pointers (aka multi-touch) API it's very easy. Just override the onTouchEvent() method or register an OnTouchListener on your buttons.
