Xperia play controls

[GoogleCodeExporter]

can you make it so the app outputs controls from icontrolpad to use same as 
xperia play. so we can use all the apps with xperia only controls. because at 
the moment the nubs do no work on them

Does the buttons work? I have had a report that claims that the buttons do not 
work.

Is there a free game I can test with?

the dpad works most of the time and buttons only work sometimes. L1 and R1 
sometimes work. it depends on the game

Death worm supports xperia play so hopefully the free version does as well, but 
does not work with icontrolpad as it does not recognized the nub input (no 
other buttons used)

Evac is the only xperia play game where the left nub works (also dpad)

minecraft pocket Demo: dpad, L&R and a few buttons work but nubs dont.

the nubs on xperia play must output slightly different to the icontrolpad.

I have been looking at the analog nubs, and it seems that they are sent using a 
"generic motion event":
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/Window.Callback.html#dispatc
hGenericMotionEvent(android.view.MotionEvent)

Unfortuantely, there does not seem to be any way to send such a message without 
having root access.

That's annoying,  can you still add it as there are lots of root user out there?

It is probably possible to do so, but I have not looked into it.
Given the amount of spare time I have right now, it is unlikely that I will get 
around to it soon.

thanks for the response.  And hopefully you will be able to do it sometime in 
the future.  Bluezime is a amazing app without it icontrolpad would be pretty 
useless IMO. :)

Just got a phonejoy controller and hope nub support for xperia games can be 
added as well, thanks for your perseverance!

Issue 100 has been merged into this issue.

Btw, latest version has "modifiers".
It looks like "ALT + BACK" button maps to Xperia circle on some games (others 
work with just "BACK").

I have just seen that there is now an app that can make any BluezIME controller 
send hardware buttons presses and analog data. That should make any Bluez IME 
controller able to act like a Xperia controller, but it requires Android 3.1 
and a rooted device:

bler

It is not free, but cheap. I have no affiliation with the author of the app.
