Apps Pinch Zoom on AVD Emulator - How To?

[ac4android]

Hi.

My laptop runs A/S 1.5.1 on Windows 7 and I have some Google maps. I'd like to do some pinch zoom-in and zoom-out test. How do I do that?

So far, all the stackoverflow articles I researched make reference to Mac.

UPDATE:
This works for me: hover mouse over the marker on the map, then double left click to zoom in.

Looks like you need a real device to transmit touch gestures to the emulator -

Runs real fast and pinch zoom works like a charm on Galaxy S5

That said, got some inexplicable errors as usual ( I am getting to the stage where I ignore A/S 1.5.1 error messages if my app runs on the AVD and the physical device).

Can you make sense of these error message on logcat?
E/Zygote: MountEmulatedStorage()
E/Zygote: v2
E/SELinux: [DEBUG] get_category: variable seinfo: default sensitivity: NULL, cateogry: NULL

Doesn't look like an error, just a debug message for informational purposes

Looks like "pinch and spread" is now supported in the emulator, which I tested in Android Studio 2.1.2 on Mac OS X El Capitan. From the docs:

Pressing Ctrl or Command (⌘) brings up a pinch gesture multi-touch interface. The mouse acts as the first finger, and across the anchor point is the second finger. Drag the cursor to move the first point.
Clicking the left mouse button acts like touching down both points, and releasing acts like picking both up.
