Developing for Xperia Play Gamepad!
Monkey Targets Forums/Android/Developing for Xperia Play Gamepad!
| ||
| I want to take advantage of the gamepad in the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play. I know that monkey does not support it by default but it should not be that hard. This is my attempt and I think I am on the right direction. Sadly, I don't have an Xperia Play and cannot verify if this works or not. I have a track pad and was able to test the KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER which is triggered when pressing the X button on Xperia Play and it worked! Can any body with Xperia Play confirm if this works or not? Add this code to mojo.android.java: public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) { // Attmpt to Handle GamePad & DPad Events
if( app!=null ){
switch(keyCode){
case 23: // KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER 'trackpad or X button(Xperia Play) is pressed
app.input.OnKeyDown( 13 ); // KEY_ENTER
break;
case 4: // KEYCODE_BACK 'Back Button or O Button(Xperia Play) is pressed
app.input.OnKeyDown( 27 ); // KEY_ESCAPE
break;
case 99: // KEYCODE_BUTTON_X 'Square button(Xperia Play) is pressed
app.input.OnKeyDown( 88 ); // KEY_X
break;
case 100: // KEYCODE_BUTTON_Y 'Triangle button(Xperia Play) is pressed
app.input.OnKeyDown( 89 ); // KEY_Y
break;
case 21: // KEYCODE_DPAD_LEFT
app.input.OnKeyDown( 37 ); // KEY_LEFT
break;
case 19: // KEYCODE_DPAD_UP
app.input.OnKeyDown( 38 ); // KEY_UP
break;
case 22: // KEYCODE_DPAD_RIGHT
app.input.OnKeyDown( 39 ); // KEY_RIGHT
break;
case 20: // KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN
app.input.OnKeyDown( 40 ); // KEY_DOWN
break;
case 102: // KEYCODE_BUTTON_L1
app.input.OnKeyDown( 122 ); // KEY_F11
break;
case 103: // KEYCODE_BUTTON_R1
app.input.OnKeyDown( 123 ); // KEY_F12
break;
case 108: // KEYCODE_BUTTON_START
app.input.OnKeyDown( 8 ); // KEY_BACKSPACE
break;
case 109: // KEYCODE_BUTTON_SELECT
app.input.OnKeyDown( 16 ); // KEY_SHIFT
break;
}
}
return false;
}
public boolean onKeyUp(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) { // Attmpt to Handle GamePad & DPad Events
if( app!=null ){
switch(keyCode){
case 23: // KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER 'trackpad or X button(Xperia Play) is pressed
app.input.OnKeyUp( 13 ); // KEY_ENTER
break;
case 4: // KEYCODE_BACK 'Back Button or O Button(Xperia Play) is pressed
app.input.OnKeyUp( 27 ); // KEY_ESCAPE
break;
case 99: // KEYCODE_BUTTON_X 'Square button(Xperia Play) is pressed
app.input.OnKeyUp( 88 ); // KEY_X
break;
case 100: // KEYCODE_BUTTON_Y 'Triangle button(Xperia Play) is pressed
app.input.OnKeyUp( 89 ); // KEY_Y
break;
case 21: // KEYCODE_DPAD_LEFT
app.input.OnKeyUp( 37 ); // KEY_LEFT
break;
case 19: // KEYCODE_DPAD_UP
app.input.OnKeyUp( 38 ); // KEY_UP
break;
case 22: // KEYCODE_DPAD_RIGHT
app.input.OnKeyUp( 39 ); // KEY_RIGHT
break;
case 20: // KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN
app.input.OnKeyUp( 40 ); // KEY_DOWN
break;
case 102: // KEYCODE_BUTTON_L1
app.input.OnKeyUp( 122 ); // KEY_F11
break;
case 103: // KEYCODE_BUTTON_R1
app.input.OnKeyUp( 123 ); // KEY_F12
break;
case 108: // KEYCODE_BUTTON_START
app.input.OnKeyUp( 8 ); // KEY_BACKSPACE
break;
case 109: // KEYCODE_BUTTON_SELECT
app.input.OnKeyUp( 16 ); // KEY_SHIFT
break;
}
}
return false;
}
Keymapping: L1 = KEY_F11 R1 = KEY_F12 o button = KEY_ESCAPE x button = KEY_ENTER square button = KEY_X Triangle button = KEY_Y Start = KEY_BACKSPACE Select = KEY_SHIFT If it works I will do something to differentiate between back button and o button. Blame Sony for the confusion. I don't want to invest more time on something I am not sure if it works or not. Edit: This will override the onBackPressed() function So I had to implement KEY_ESCAPE in here as well. Otherwise back button will not function |

| Do you have an apk I can simply install that tests this? |

| I just tested your code on a Xperia Play and it works perfectly. The only problem is that it doesn't make a distinction between the back key and the circle button. So I found this entry on the sony developer blog http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/wp/2011/02/13/xperia-play-game-keys/ and added the fix to your code:
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) { // Attmpt to Handle GamePad & DPad Events
if( app!=null ){
switch(keyCode){
case 23: // KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER 'trackpad or X button(Xperia Play) is pressed
app.input.OnKeyDown( 13 ); // KEY_ENTER
break;
case 4: // KEYCODE_BACK 'Back Button or O Button(Xperia Play) is pressed
if (!event.isAltPressed()) {
app.input.OnKeyDown( 27 ); //KEY_ESCAPE
} else {
app.input.OnKeyDown( 79 ); // KEY_O
}
break;
case 99: // KEYCODE_BUTTON_X 'Square button(Xperia Play) is pressed
app.input.OnKeyDown( 88 ); // KEY_X
break;
case 100: // KEYCODE_BUTTON_Y 'Triangle button(Xperia Play) is pressed
app.input.OnKeyDown( 89 ); // KEY_Y
break;
case 21: // KEYCODE_DPAD_LEFT
app.input.OnKeyDown( 37 ); // KEY_LEFT
break;
case 19: // KEYCODE_DPAD_UP
app.input.OnKeyDown( 38 ); // KEY_UP
break;
case 22: // KEYCODE_DPAD_RIGHT
app.input.OnKeyDown( 39 ); // KEY_RIGHT
break;
case 20: // KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN
app.input.OnKeyDown( 40 ); // KEY_DOWN
break;
case 102: // KEYCODE_BUTTON_L1
app.input.OnKeyDown( 122 ); // KEY_F11
break;
case 103: // KEYCODE_BUTTON_R1
app.input.OnKeyDown( 123 ); // KEY_F12
break;
case 108: // KEYCODE_BUTTON_START
app.input.OnKeyDown( 8 ); // KEY_BACKSPACE
break;
case 109: // KEYCODE_BUTTON_SELECT
app.input.OnKeyDown( 16 ); // KEY_SHIFT
break;
}
}
return false;
}
public boolean onKeyUp(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) { // Attmpt to Handle GamePad & DPad Events
if( app!=null ){
switch(keyCode){
case 23: // KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER 'trackpad or X button(Xperia Play) is pressed
app.input.OnKeyUp( 13 ); // KEY_ENTER
break;
case 4: // KEYCODE_BACK 'Back Button or O Button(Xperia Play) is pressed
if (!event.isAltPressed()) {
app.input.OnKeyUp( 27 ); // KEY_ESCAPE
} else {
app.input.OnKeyUp( 79 ); // KEY_O
}
break;
case 99: // KEYCODE_BUTTON_X 'Square button(Xperia Play) is pressed
app.input.OnKeyUp( 88 ); // KEY_X
break;
case 100: // KEYCODE_BUTTON_Y 'Triangle button(Xperia Play) is pressed
app.input.OnKeyUp( 89 ); // KEY_Y
break;
case 21: // KEYCODE_DPAD_LEFT
app.input.OnKeyUp( 37 ); // KEY_LEFT
break;
case 19: // KEYCODE_DPAD_UP
app.input.OnKeyUp( 38 ); // KEY_UP
break;
case 22: // KEYCODE_DPAD_RIGHT
app.input.OnKeyUp( 39 ); // KEY_RIGHT
break;
case 20: // KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN
app.input.OnKeyUp( 40 ); // KEY_DOWN
break;
case 102: // KEYCODE_BUTTON_L1
app.input.OnKeyUp( 122 ); // KEY_F11
break;
case 103: // KEYCODE_BUTTON_R1
app.input.OnKeyUp( 123 ); // KEY_F12
break;
case 108: // KEYCODE_BUTTON_START
app.input.OnKeyUp( 8 ); // KEY_BACKSPACE
break;
case 109: // KEYCODE_BUTTON_SELECT
app.input.OnKeyUp( 16 ); // KEY_SHIFT
break;
}
}
return false;
}
And to everyone else, this code has to be added inside the Activity:
public class MonkeyGame extends Activity{

| I forgot, now the circle button is mapped to KEY_O |
| ||
| Is there not also a key activated when the screen is slid up? If you could read that you could display on screen buttons when the phone is closed (or not an xperia play) and remove the on screen controls when the phone is open |
| ||
| Thanks Amnesia I was actually planning to do the fix the same way you did but wanted to make sure it was working. Thanks for testing it and for the fix. |

| Gary, I couldn't find anything in sony's documentation that relates to that. Besides, it would not make any sense to play a game that supports the gamepad and decide not to use it. Android market now supports adding multiple apk files for the same app but for different devices. I plan to take advantage of that by supporting Apps2SD for newer devices and add an apk for the xperia play. This is also useful for fixing bugs that are hardware specific. |
| ||
| Aman There must be some trigger though for the Play to switch to the different menu as you slide the screen up even if its not documented. Might have to have a look and see what I can find |

| Hello, Okay instead of doubleposting, Has anyone figured out the touchpad settings for the Xperia and getting that to work inside of monkey yet..? William Mc. |
| ||
| How would one apply this to the newest version of Monkey X? |
