Can multitouch events be tested on Android Emulator ? Or is there any way to test this without actual device ? I am using 2.0 sdk and want to test zoom-in zoom-out on by two fingers.
Is there a way out ?

I recently discovered that the Android 2.0 SDK supports multitouch through new functions in the MotionEvent class. You can specify a pointer index when retrieving touch properties, and in cases where multiple fingers are on the screen there should be multiple pointers provided.
Unfortunately, I only have a G1 to test on and it's running Android 1.5 and not 2.0.
Is there any way to test multitouch without a 2.0 device? In the iPhone simulator, you can hold down option and shift option to perform two fingered pinch and two fingered drag, respectively. Is there any similar functionality in the Android emulator? Is it something I should expect to see in the future, or should I just suck it up and buy a new test phone?
We are currently working on an instrumentation test suite which runs on our build server, but while the tests pass on a dev machine using a normal Android emulator, the builds fail on the build server since there we only run a headless emulator with the -no-window flag.The failure occurs when trying to invoke the InstrumentationTestCase.sendKeys() method to programatically open the options menu.We also tried to let the instrumentation test app and the app under test share the same Linux user ID using android:sharedUserId and run in the same process (android:process -- we weren't sure if that was already the case), but still no luck. Does this mean it's currently impossible to run instrumentations which contain key events on a headless emulator, or are we missing something?

I have been looking at the multitouch capabilities of the SDK versions > 5, the MotionEvent.getPointerCount() appears to return the number of presses detected on the screen. *What is the maximum number of presses this function will ever return?*
I went digging through the android source code for the MotionEvent class, and couldn't deduce anything from that, I am wondering if the maximum number of presses is heavily hardware dependent? I modified the MultiTouchVis code by Robert Green (from Battery Powered Games) to report the number of presses reported by MotionEvent.getPointerCount() each frame and on my Milestone it consistently reports a maximum of 2 presses. Is this a hardware thing, or does the sdk limit it to 2 presses?
Is there any way to register more than 2 presses at a time? I'm making a musical application and would like the user, for example, to be able to play chords by pressing multiple keys at any one time.
I have been racking my brain to try to figure out what is going wrong here. I wanted to experiment with multi-touch, so I decided to add the controls for LunarLander to the touchscreen.
Instead of adding buttons, I defined regions on the screen that when touched, would act like the buttons on the keyboard (for example, the gas fires as long as you press the screen in the area defined for the gas button, and stops firing when you release.)
To do this, I added the onTouchEvent override to the LunarView class as follows:

Any ideas? Is it possible to test C2DM service from Android emulator?

But whenever i run my application, everytime i get error that "Fail to find provider info for Calendar" and it also throws me NullPointerException error. So, what it means and i found that emulator doesn't provide Calendar application in-built.I think if the Android Emulator doesn't have Calender API, so, naturally, it will not have any database URI in the emulator whereas the Contact has URI --"content://contacts/people". I also found the URI for Calendar as "content://calendar/calendars" but it doesn't work and it means that it gives me error cause of missing Calendar application.Can anybody clarify me, with suggestions regarding Calendar Event?

I tried something quick and dirty below inside the onCreate method when the app first opens and nothing really happens, is there something more I need to do/obviously my toast idea is just bad.
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();

For now this should make no real difference since the classes I am working on do very basic numerical or networking tasks, but obviously anything which involves the UI or Android API specific functions can only ever be tested on the emulator.
I set up a new run configuration of type AndroidJUnitTest wich uses the ndroid.test.InstrumentationTestRunner, however whenever I fire up the test I get the following error in the console:

This is with the 1.6 & 1.5 SDKs, not tried earlier ones. When you switch from portrait to landscape the onSaveInstanceState()/ onRestoreInstanceState() pair are called once, but when going back from landscape to portrait they are called twice, unless I've missed something. To test, see the log after creating a default Hello World app and change the main class like this: code...
