Android 3.1 joystick support!

Unity Engine

Im guessing everyone knows about the recent android update (honeycomb) and more importantly the added support for joystick / gamepad usb devices!!? Very exciting stuff! :smile:

Does this mean we can now simply ‘plug and play’ with a usb (supported) joystick with an Android 3.1 device such as my Motorola Xoom (when i get the update!) ?!

I guess in terms of coding it will be different to that of a PC to pick up the inputs from a joystick? Or will it be? :slight_smile:

Thanks for your input

Pretty surely it will not work like joystick / pad on desktop, cause mobile has no desktop input support. you will need to write an android plugin to use it

Hmmm thats what i was thinking! No one else got any thoughts on using this joystick support for Android to your advantage in Unity!? :slight_smile:
