I am developing a game using Construct 2 which could export the project to Cordova. Then, I could put the game into Crosswalk and play the game on my Android. My Construct 2 game supports gamepad, and this is the issue:
While my HTML5 game could respond to gamepad input just fine on Desktop, I see that the game does not respond to D-Pad, LT, RT, R3 analog stick on Android. I have tested several gamepads on the game and also on http://html5gamepad.com/ and I see that all gamepads pretty much got identical issue. It seems that the Gamepad API does not fully support Android gamepads. Because of this, I think this is more of HTML5 issue on Android. Is it possible to make it so the HTML5 Cordova exported game could access the device's gamepad input? From the overview section in Cordova document: ----- Use Apache Cordova if you are: a mobile developer interested in mixing native application components with a *WebView* (special browser window) that can access *device-level APIs*, or if you want to develop a plugin interface between native and WebView components. ----- "access device-level APIs"? If I understand this correctly, does this mean I could somehow make it so that the HTML5 game could read gamepad input using Android's device-level APIs instead of the HTML5 Gamepad API? I see that a native gamepad app (such as GamepadTest from Play Store) could read all of the gamepad's inputs just fine, unlike HTML5 games and http://html5gamepad.com . Because of this, is this actually possible in Cordova? If so, what must be done? Regards, Iono
