Hi all, I have a project I'd like to make use of AppGameKit for, but I need to know if it'll work first... A required part of the project would be to link a controller to an android device. I know many of these controllers exist out there, some work via bluetooth, others via microUSB - either will work for my uses. But can I read in the input from that controller into AppGameKit easily enough?

I've read on here people using microsoft controllers with their PC using AppGameKit, but I'm specifically looking to connect a controller to an android device. Possible, you reckon?

Thanks blink0k, yeah I saw that but without mention of buttons I wondered if it was actually something I could make use of... What I need is more buttons.

I tested an XBox 360 controller with Android and it worked ok. Anything that reports input events through the Android OS in the normal way should work.

Thanks Paul. I'll do some experimentation and see what I can see.

It works! Using GetRawJoystickButtonState() I can tap most of the buttons. Just not the select button for some reason... Doesn't seem to sit within the 1-32 range. But no matter!
