1. public Engine onLoadEngine() {
2.             this.mCamera = new Camera(0, 0, CAMERA_WIDTH, CAMERA_HEIGHT);
3.             final Engine engine=new Engine(new EngineOptions(true, ScreenOrientation.LANDSCAPE, new RatioResolutionPolicy(CAMERA_WIDTH, CAMERA_HEIGHT), this.mCamera));
4.            try {
5.                 if(MultiTouch.isSupported(this)) {
6.                         engine.setTouchController(new MultiTouchController());
7.                         if(MultiTouch.isSupportedDistinct(this)) {
8.                                 Toast.makeText(this, "MultiTouch detected --> Drag multiple Sprites with multiple fingers!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
9.                         } else {
10.                                 Toast.makeText(this, "MultiTouch detected --> Drag multiple Sprites with multiple fingers!\n\n(Your device might have problems to distinguish between separate fingers.)", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
11.                         }
12.                 } else {
13.                         Toast.makeText(this, "Sorry your device does NOT support MultiTouch!\n\n(Falling back to SingleTouch.)", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
14.                 }
15.         } catch (final MultiTouchException e) {
16.                 Toast.makeText(this, "Sorry your Android Version does NOT support MultiTouch!\n\n(Falling back to SingleTouch.)", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
17.         }
18.  
19.             return engine;
20.     }

The problem is that i have an error with the method setTouchController, that's it:

The method setTouchController(ITouchController) in the type Engine is not applicable for the arguments (MultiTouchController)

Eclipse propose me to cast the new multitouchcontroller but we know it's not the solution

Thank you for your help, lucas!

Could it be because of my andengine.jar or MultitouchExtension.jar?

[lcsd93]

With the debugger i've that:
"The JAR file ....\android-sdk-windows\platforms\android-8\android.jar has no source attachment."
I don't think it's the problem but it could...

That desappear when i put off the lines:

Ok, Aaronds, a man on the IRC channel helped me and i solved the problem:
Don't export the MultitouchExtension in .jar, just link the source to your project and that's ok!

(i posted the solution for those who were in the same situation )

I don't get it

I can't do anything with Extensions because I don't know where fu*** they are


I need the MultitouchExtension.jar or something

I'm trying to do my first application, but I have nothing

Help me!!

You can find the link to the extension source code in this subforum (sticky post).
* Import the source into Eclipse. Easiest way is to install the Mercurial plugin and import the project.
* Right click the src folder in the project. Choose Export.
* Under Java, choose JAR file.
* Make sure only the files in the src folder are marked for inclusion.
* Check the boxes: "Export generated class..." and "Export Java source...".
* Choose a destination and name for the jar-file.
* Click finish.

You may need to link the AndEngine source to the extension, you can for example add andengine.jar as an external archive.

Ok, I´ll try it, but for now I only clone the extension and copy the files. Now I get the files, that was that I needed.
Thanks
