Trackball

[XverhelstX]

Hey guys,

I'm just wondering, is there anything available to work with the Trackball in Basic4Android? like the keycodes?

This is a trackball:

If not, I could try and make out a library for it as I need it for my app though.
Does someone knows a link/tutorial to the trackball movement, etc.

Thanks,

Activity_KeyPress should handle the trackball events.
It should send KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN / UP/ ... codes.

Okay, great! Thanks Erel.

Is there also any keycode for the 2 Xperia PLAY joysticks?

Thanks,

I think that they are mapped to the regular arrow keys.
You can log the keycodes and compare them to this list: KeyEvent | Android Developers
It is the same codes as used by B4A.

No. Those are only accessible via the NDK/C++, and I think B4A is layered on top of java.

It might be possible for a plugin made in the NDK itself to do it though.
