Ok, so this is what I have come up with so far. The buttons work just fine, however I am still unable to allow more than one to be pressed at a time.. I have set an OnTouchListener for each button (I have 8), and here is the OnTouchListener event:

    OnTouchListener padTouch = new OnTouchListener() {
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event)
        {
            if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
            {
                switch (v.getId())
                {
                    case R.id.pad1:
                        PlaySound(SOUND_PAD_1);
                        break;
                    case R.id.pad2:
                        PlaySound(SOUND_PAD_2);
                        break;
                    case R.id.pad3:
                        PlaySound(SOUND_PAD_3);
                        break;
                    case R.id.pad4:
                        PlaySound(SOUND_PAD_4);
                        break;
                    case R.id.pad5:
                        PlaySound(SOUND_PAD_5);
                        break;
                    case R.id.pad6:
                        PlaySound(SOUND_PAD_6);
                        break;
                    case R.id.pad7:
                        PlaySound(SOUND_PAD_7);
                        break;
                    case R.id.pad8:
                        PlaySound(SOUND_PAD_8);
                        break;
                }
            }

            return false;

        }



is there anything that I should do to enable this?
