[SOLVED] Why does my multi-touch event not work in my Android Studio App?

Around line 12 of this exempt I have marked a section where the code never gets executed. In the ACTION_POINTER_DOWN, everything else works, so if the joystick is pressed the else if statement sets joystick.setIsPressed() to true which sets joystick.getIsPressed() to true so the first if statement should be true, therefore executing code which I marked and also checking the if statement above it.

    @Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {

    switch (event.getActionMasked()) {
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_DOWN:
            if (joystick.getIsPressed()) {
                // Joystick was pressed before this event
                if (event.getX() > screenX / 2 && event.getY() > screenY / 2) {
                    cat.isJumping = true;
                }
                // Code here never gets executed
            } else if(joystick.isPressed((double) event.getX(), (double) event.getY())) { // Joystick is pressed in this event and ID stored
                joystickPointerId = event.getPointerId(event.getActionIndex());
                joystick.setIsPressed(true);
            } else { // Joystick was not previously, and is not pressed in this event
                if (event.getX() > screenX / 2 && event.getY() > screenY / 2) {
                    cat.isJumping = true;
                }
            }

            if(event.getX() >= mainMenuButton.getValue(1) &&
                    event.getX() <= mainMenuButton.getValue(3) &&
                        event.getY() >= mainMenuButton.getValue(2) &&
                            event.getY() <= mainMenuButton.getValue(4)) {
                isPlaying = false;
                activity.startActivity(new Intent(activity, MainActivity.class));
                activity.overridePendingTransition(android.R.anim.fade_in, android.R.anim.fade_out);
                activity.finish();

            }
            break;

        case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
            if(joystick.getIsPressed()) {
                joystick.setActuator((double) event.getX(), (double) event.getY());
            }
            break;

        case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_UP:
            if (joystickPointerId == event.getPointerId(event.getActionIndex())) { // Joystick was let go of
                joystick.setIsPressed(false);
                joystick.resetActuator();
            }
            cat.isJumping = false;
            break;
    }
    return true;
}
