multiple simultaneous touch events

Morning, looking into making a game and thought i'd look into the touch events. I have made a little man move round and fire a gun on my android.

My problem being is that I have to release the direction controls to fire. Is there a way to do multiple simultaneous touch events instead of "one-tap-at-a-time" events?

regards

Multi touch is supported by default, but I think I remember something like the android browser not being able to handle it.

If you have something like "on touch" move the player and "on fire button touched" fire, both should work as intended, in multi touch.

If the browser can't handle it, not much to be done there but rethink the controls.

In this page of tutorial:

here are two known issues when using PhoneGap:

- Android 2.x does not support multi-touch properly. Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) fixes this.

So here it is, solution is to use android 4.

thanks for the update.... stupid android... bit stuck now.
