How to Determine if Android Device has Touch Screen Multi-Touch Feature

public static final String FEATURE_TOUCHSCREEN_MULTITOUCH was added in API level 7
Feature for getSystemAvailableFeatures() and hasSystemFeature(String)

 The device's touch screen supports multitouch sufficient for basic two-finger gesture detection.
Constant Value: "android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch"
Some examples of Touch Screen Multi-Touch Android Tablets and Touch Screen Multi-Touch Android Phones.

1. Get a PackageManager Instance named myPackageManager.

2. Create a Boolean Variable named bolTSMSupported. 

3. Set the Minimum and Target SDK version  to 7 or greater. 

4. In the onCreate method, add the below code. This will return the touch screen multi-touch ability to a boolean named bolTSMSupported. It will then display a toast displaying the touch screen multi-touch ability of the device to the user.

bolTSMSupported = myPackageManager.hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_TOUCHSCREEN_MULTITOUCH);

if (bolTSMSupported) {

Toast.makeText(this, "Device has Touch Screen Multi-Touch capability", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

} else {

Toast.makeText(this, "No Touch Screen Multi-Touch capability!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

}

5. Compile and run!
