How to detect android pinch zoom in javascript

Question

I would like to know if there's any way to detect that a pinch zoom event has taken place. I could achieve it by using this event binding for iOS

$(document).bind('gesturechange',function(event){
     zoomAdjust();
});

Is there any such event for android devices?

Have you tried that in Android? Usually the events are the same. — ThinkingStiff, Jul 17 '12 at 06:30

thanks that is a great way to detect plenty of the android events. However I went ahead with `scroll` event, as page is pinch zoomed it also gets scrolled. – Shades88 Jul 18 '12 at 19:30

This is not an answer, more of a comment, and it is a whole library, which is an overkill for a simple detection as asked in the question. :/ – vsync Sep 02 '17 at 07:55

There is also another great jQuery plugin called TouchSwipe.
