Testing touchscreen with Android Emulator?

Question

Is it possible to simulate or test Touchscreen input with the Android Emulator?

I'm working on a project which needs to support touchscreen input, but I don't have an Android phone myself. However if I could use my mouse to simulate/test touchscreen support in my app, it would be perfect.

Answer 1

Yes, you can implement the OnTouchListener and then on the emulator you can use your mouse.

Answer 2

It's theoreticaly possible. But to date multitouch support requires a real Android 4.0 device to send multitouch input to the emulator. However, in this case you don't need the emulator and can test directly on the physical device.
