How to test multi-touch in Android Emulator

Question

I'm trying to use multi-touch in an Android 2.0 app. How can I simulate this with an emulator using Eclipse? I can only seem to get the mouse to do one touch at a time.

Since ADT 17, it is possible to use a physical Android 4.0 device to send multitouch gestures to the emulator. See Android's instructions here.

Current version of emulator doesn't support multi-touch. You need device to do it!

Update:

The emulator supports multi-touch input, as an experimental feature in r17

You can follow this ticket on Android's Google code page if you want, but there's currently no support for this.

If you have an old pre-ADT 17 phone, you can still do it. But the emulator has to be running a recent version of android.

Here is a compiled version of sdkcontroller app the based on ADT10...
