Hi!
I’m trying to add a key event to button index for android gamepads:

But i have an error:

AKEYCODE_DPAD_RIGHT is not a defined text trigger constant. What you need to do for gamepad input on Defold is this:

• Copy the default.gamepads from builtins to a location in your project
• Change game.project to use the copied file
• Add a new entry to the gamepads file with the configuration for the new controller.
  • You can learn more about the available buttons in the Android section of the gamepads manual: Gamepad input in Defold

You can also use raw gamepad input:

Gamepad input in Defold

With raw gamepad input you do not need to create a gamepad configuration. You simply create a single input binding for Raw in the gamepad section of the input bindings.
