What I mean is, that I want to be able to press two separate buttons at the same time and have them do things on ACTION_DOWN and UP.
I have multiple onTouchListeners, but the app only lets me press one at a time. I need to be able to press at least two at the same time. I assume it has to do with the program getting stuck in a loop when the first button is being held down?
I read something about ACTION_POINTER1_DOWN and ACTION_POINTER2_DOWN, but I have to revise something to make them work right? Or am I even on the right track here?
