Class Summary

Class	Description
AbstractJoystick	A joystick represents a single joystick that is installed in the system.
AWTInput	The implementation of the Input dedicated to AWT component.
AWTKeyInput	The implementation of the KeyInput dedicated to AWT component.
AWTMouseInput	The implementation of the MouseInput dedicated to AWT component.
CameraInput	This class defines all the constants used in camera handlers for registration with the inputManager
ChaseCamera	A camera that follows a spatial and can turn around it by dragging the mouse
DefaultJoystickAxis	Default implementation of the JoystickAxis interface.
DefaultJoystickButton	Default implementation of the JoystickButton interface.
FlyByCamera	A first-person camera controller.
InputManager	The InputManager is responsible for converting input events received from the Key, Mouse and Joy Input implementations into an abstract, input device independent representation that user code can use.
JoystickCompatibilityMappings	Provides compatibility mapping to different joysticks that both report their name in a unique way and require remapping to achieve a proper default layout.
KeyNames	Translate key codes (from KeyInput) to descriptive names.

Package com.jme3.input Description

The com.jme3.input package is used for all input handling in jMonkeyEngine. User code should use the InputManager to register for and receive input events. The InputManager can be retrieved for an application by using Application.getInputManager().

Usage

Using ActionListener:
// Retrieve an input manager for the application "app"
InputManager inputManager = app.getInputManager();

// Adds a new mapping "PrintHello" that will be invoked when the Return/Enter key is pressed
inputManager.addMapping("PrintHello", new KeyTrigger(KeyInput.KEY_RETURN));
// Adds a new ActionListener to get an event when enter is pressed.
inputManager.addListener(new ActionListener() {
public void onAction(String name, boolean isPressed, float tpf) {
// Only invoke the event when the mapping is "PrintHello"
// and isPressed is true, meaning it was a key press and not release.
if (name.equals("PrintHello") && isPressed){
System.out.println("Hello!");
}
}
}, "PrintHello");
