public class AndroidJoyInput
extends java.lang.Object
implements JoyInput

Main class that manages various joystick devices. Joysticks can be many forms including a simulated joystick to communicate the device orientation as well as physical gamepads.
This class manages all the joysticks and feeds the inputs from each back to jME's InputManager. This handler also supports the joystick.rumble(rumbleAmount) method. In this case, when joystick.rumble(rumbleAmount) is called, the Android device will vibrate if the device has a built in vibrate motor. Because Andorid does not allow for the user to define the intensity of the vibration, the rumble amount (ie strength) is converted into vibration pulses The stronger the strength amount, the shorter the delay between pulses. If amount is 1, then the vibration stays on the whole time. If amount is 0.5, the vibration will a pulse of equal parts vibration and delay. To turn off vibration, set rumble amount to 0. MainActivity needs the following line to enable Joysticks on Android platforms joystickEventsEnabled = true; This is done to allow for battery conservation when sensor data or gamepads are not required by the application. To use the joystick rumble feature, the following line needs to be added to the Android Manifest File <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE"/>

pauseJoysticks

public void pauseJoysticks()

Pauses the joystick device listeners to save battery life if they are not needed. Used to pause when the activity pauses

resumeJoysticks

public void resumeJoysticks()

Resumes the joystick device listeners. Used to resume when the activity comes to the top of the stack

initialize

public void initialize()

Description copied from interface: Input

Initializes the native side to listen into events from the device.

Specified by:

initialize in interface Input

isInitialized

public boolean isInitialized()

Specified by:

isInitialized in interface Input

Returns:

True if the device has been initialized and not destroyed.

Input.initialize(), Input.destroy()

destroy

public void destroy()

Description copied from interface: Input

Ceases listening to events from the device.

Specified by:

destroy in interface Input

setInputListener

public void setInputListener(RawInputListener listener)

Description copied from interface: Input

Sets the input listener to receive events from this device. The appropriate events should be dispatched through the callbacks in RawInputListener.

Specified by:

setInputListener in interface Input

getInputTimeNanos

public long getInputTimeNanos()

Specified by:

getInputTimeNanos in interface Input

Returns:

The current absolute time as nanoseconds. This time is expected to be relative to the time given in InputEvents time property.

setJoyRumble

public void setJoyRumble(int joyId,
                         float amount)

Description copied from interface: JoyInput

Causes the joystick at joyId index to rumble with the given amount.

Specified by:

setJoyRumble in interface JoyInput

Parameters:

joyId - The joystick index

amount - Rumble amount. Should be between 0 and 1.

loadJoysticks

public Joystick[] loadJoysticks(InputManager inputManager)

Description copied from interface: JoyInput

Loads a list of joysticks from the system.

Specified by:

loadJoysticks in interface JoyInput

Parameters:

inputManager - The input manager requesting to load joysticks

Returns:

A list of joysticks that are installed.

update

public void update()

Description copied from interface: Input

Queries the device for input. All events should be sent to the RawInputListener set with setInputListener.

Specified by:

update in interface Input
