Which Android devices/version combinations do / do not support multitouch gestures in the browser?

I'm implementing the possibility to use multi-touch in openLayers in an Android app even for Android versions that do not support browser multi-touch. Therefore, I need to distinguish between those devices/Android versions that support and those that don't. I need this information to apply a hack to distinguish what functionality to provide to the respecitve devices.

Does there exist a list of devices/versions mentioning multi-touch support? Or is there a method to detect browser multi-touch support during runtime (without explicit user interaction)?

To re-enable multitouch on your applications' WebView with 2.x devices you can include WebView MultiTouch Polyfill in your project.

To elaborate the question you are asking i have started this "RFC-alike" entry in order to detect how many touches are available to the webview. The approach i have described there is an unproven concept and would be my last-resort implementation in case this kind of information is not available on the webview.

Would love to get some comments or clarification and also hope, this may somehow help you.

About the closest I've seen would be PPK's tables here.
