When making the application full screen with the following call:
Gdx.graphics.setFullscreenMode(Gdx.graphics.getDisplayMode());
I no longer have signals from my controller. The issue is not solved by changing the display back from full screen like:
Gdx.graphics.setWindowedMode(Gdx.graphics.getWidth() / 2, Gdx.graphics.getHeight() / 2);
I'm using Gdx version: 1.9.8. It appears this was an issue fixed in a previous version, but I'm not sure what the necessary steps are to get the work around functioning. Here's some posts I found about the issue:
https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/issues/4723
https://github.com/GoranM/bdx/issues/518
(this one is old) http://www.badlogicgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=10692
Any help is much appreciated.
*Edit: This is using the controller extension that can be checked from the libgdx set up application. *
Edit2: I can get a responsive controller if I re-poll the controllers like the following:
Array<Controller> controllers = Controllers.getControllers();
However, this cannot be done instantly after changing the display mode; I have to wait some amount of time after. I'm not sure what I need to poll to determine how long I have to wait until the controller instances are valid (also, when it is valid to assign a listener).
Edit3: The only solution I've been able to come up with is to set a flag inside the resize callback like the following
@Override
public void resize(int width, int height) {
resizeDirty = true;
resizeTimestamp = System.currentTimeMillis();
}
Then in my main loop call:
private void controllerCheck() {
if (resizeDirty) {
long currentTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
if (currentTime > resizeTimestamp + controllerResetDelay) {
resizeDirty = false;
//get new controller instance | re-add a controller listener
}
}
}
This isn't ideal, I'd rather find a way to listen to when the change in context is done initializing then update the controllers. But I haven't been able to find a hook for that. I'd appreciate it if anyone knows a better way to go about maintaining controllers with change in display mode.
