[core] Mouse and keyboard detection on plug/unplug

[gezzuzz]

im running raylib in native mode..

When i start my program with mouse and keyboard plugged in at boot.. they work fine.

if i disconnect and reinsert them.. they do not come back.. also if i dont have a keyboard plugged in when i start my program they will not work.

how does raylib detect input devices?

thank you

is it on Raspberry Pi?

[gezzuzz]

is it on Raspberry Pi?

yes..

at command prompt it detects the mouse and keyboard if plugged in after boot... or it removed and replugged in..

[gezzuzz]

it seem what ever you have when you start the program works.. as long as you dont disconnect it

@gezzuzz inputs processing in RPI native is different than other platforms, actually, it has been reviewed several times... Current implementation uses dev events in separate threads to detect inputs...

[gezzuzz]

There is a function in core.c.. InitEvdevInput if i call it. the keyboard starts to work fine. Since its not in raylib.h by default i can not access it.

i was able to make it work by removing Static then i added it to raylib.h RLAPI void InitEvdevInput(void);

Im not sure it this is the proper way.. But i would like to make InitEvdevInput public. Is there is a reason not to make this function public?

i figured i could call this function on a timer so that i can redetect input devices..

Better yet i can check for changes to "/dev/input/" if any devices get added to removed it shows here.. then i call InitEvdevInput to reset everything. (only need for linux)

            #if !defined(__x86_64__)            
            GetDirectoryFiles("/dev/input/",&fileCount);
            if(fileCount != lastDeviceCount){
                InitEvdevInput();
                lastDeviceCount = fileCount;
            }
            #endif

@gezzuzz that's nice... but for the moment no plans to expose that function...
