[OpenLayers-Users] pinch zoom on Droid

[Dominik Mikiewicz]

Not sure if this has something to do with the android version or hosting
device but it does work on some of the devices.

I have a Galaxy S with an Android 2.1 and both google maps and the new
OpenLayers examples work excellent. On the other hand HTC Desire Hd with
android 2.2 enlarges the whole page no matter what (this happens with gmaps
too).

 

The mentioned mobile example does indicate there is only one touch event
happening no matter how many fingers are touching the screen. Not sure how
it corresponds to the event console available in the sencha touch kitchen
sink demo - here the console reports pinch when two fingers touch the
screen.
