Disabling multitouch in android

Question

How to disable multi touch in android either by manifest or programatically?

You can't, but all you really need to do is write your app such that it only handles pointer ID 0. That effectively makes it single touch. — Andi Jay, Aug 24 '12 at 15:01
@Péter Actually I am developing one game which doesn't require multitouch & with multitouch it gets wrong input. — Rushikesh Talokar, Aug 24 '12 at 15:04

To prevent this you should turn off splitMotionEvents or windowEnableSplitTouch attribute inside ViewGroup were buttons are located.

android:splitMotionEvents="false"
