Multiple Events at once on Android 2.3.3

[Steve Marcus]

On my android 4.3 device I can drag a canvas AND press a button at the same time.

However on my android 2.3.3 device it won't do it. If I am dragging the canvas it won't register the button press event, so I have to take my finger off the canvas in order to press the button.

Is there any way to get the canvas drag AND button press to occur at the same time for android 2.3.3?

Not sure what's going on there. Does the device itself support multitouch? There shouldn't be a problem with 2.3.3. Perhaps pre 2.0, I could see an issue (that's when multitouch handling was added to android).

It's meant to support multitouch, but reading up on it might not be true multitouch (HTC Desire). Or could be the ROM I'm using.

Glad to know it's probably just my phone.
