question

I'm preparing to release a game to the Amazon App Store. I have the following test devices: Kindle Fire 1st gen: works fine Kindle Fire HD 7: works fine Kindle Fire HDX 7: works fine, BUT the application is detecting that the device has a gamepad. In the last case, because the game detects a gamepad, it puts up extra controls and provides a "Controls" page which shows a standard gamepad with callouts for what the different buttons do. This will obviously confuse players if they don't have an actual gamepad connected to the device. My code for detecting gamepad presence is this: InputDevice currDevice = InputDevice.getDevice(currDeviceId); int nDeviceSourceBits = currDevice.getSources(); On the Kindle Fire HDX 7, nDeviceSourceBits is reporting the value 0x80000501. According to: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/InputDevice.html ...that value indicates the presence of a SOURCE_GAMEPAD and SOURCE_KEYBOARD. The topmost bit (0x80000000) doesn't correlate to anything on that Android page. So, I'm confused on two counts: 1) Why is the Kindle Fire HDX 7 reporting that it has a gamepad (SOURCE_GAMEPAD) 2) What does the topmost bit (0x80000000) indicate? This value is not documented on the Google API site. Thanks, --tim
