[Ohrrpgce] [ohrrpgce:bugs] #2015 Arrow keys broken for gamepads on Android port

[Bob the Hamster]

I finally had time to bisect my way through the history and find when this bug started.

This was the revision where instead of calling update_virtual_gamepad_display() after each special menu, I switched to calling it once every tick (which fixed the "Hide V. Gamepad When Suspendplayer" feature to work properly)

I have not yet figured out exactly why this screws up just the arrow keys, and not the other buttons on the virtual gamepad.

I am not sure when this started, but arrow key handling is totally broken on the Android port when playing with a gamepad (OUYA, Gamestick, FireTv)

This is most easily demonstrated with http://hamsterrepublic.com/tmp/inputtest-release-signed.apk

When playing inputtest on Windows/Mac/Linux or Android with the on-creen virtual gamepad, the arrow keys work as expected, turning red when pressed, or pink when held down.

When using a gamepad on an Android Console, pressing the analog stick causes the arrow keys to flicker green for a single tick, and then nothing. As for the D-Pad, it does absolutely nothing on a FireTV, and on an OUYA, the D-pad makes the arrow keys flicker green for one tick, remain dark for a few ticks, and then stay on solid green.

This definitely wasn't happening 10 months ago, so something has changed since then, but danged if I know what yet.
