I can't seem to get any emulators on the Play Store to recognize my keyboard when binding keys. I'm assuming this is because the phone sees the keyboard the same as the software keyboard, and not as an external device? Is there any way around this?

Hey just wondering I've set up my Windows PC to my TV which is about 10ft away from TV, and I play media through XBMC which is on the TV and use the dedicated Android application for it.
I'm looking to take it a little bit further though, and use the A500 tablet as a keyboard and touchpad for just doing other things on the PC while using the TV.
I've come across a few applications which use software on the PC to communicate with the tablet and send/receive keystrokes and touch input for mouse which is fine but all the apps I've played with so far if you use the keyboard bit the touchpad goes away, and you have to press another button to switch to the touchpad, and same with when using the touchpad you can't use the keyboard at the same time, I was wondering if anyone has come across an application that can show both at the same time without having to hide one or the other when using one of them.
I am not home right now to see if using the touchpad and kb at the same time works, but I use TeamViewer. I cannot see a reason you need both the kb and touchpad functionality at the same time.
I have been researching this all day... Is there any way to play minecraft on the nexus 7 with a wii classic controller is something similar? if so. What app or settings do i need.
Thanks
No. Unless there is a cable converter to usb for wii classic controller.
There are many ways to get the wiimote and classic or sixaxis or the Logitech line of controllers to work with Android.
Some games have the ability to map controllers and others don't.
First the wiimote will have to be tested to see if it can even attach to the N7.
You can download wiimote controller app from the playstore and see if it attaches properly. Bluetooth is requires on the tablet/phone.
Now that app is simple enough there is another app that goes to extreme lengths to give you lots of options. USB/BT Joystick Center 6 will allow the largest selection of controllers/keyboard/mice to be used in lots of fashions. This app will need the Joystick2Touch add-on to allow touch inputs for other games that you cannot map to. It sets up the controllers in the same fashion the sixaxis app does for the sixaxis controller. There is also other apps and controllers like Bluez IME and Gamepad Enabler that allow other controllers to have very narrow but perfect support with little fuss on setting up. But as I said Joystick center covers all that but you must take some time to get it all to work.
Now what you can do with that is limitless, but I must tell you have tried.
The problem with some games is they have to much dependency on the touchscreen. Minecraft is one of those. I was able to map the walk, but not the look around. Also anytime you entered a menu that had lots of choices, i.e. inventory or a chest, there was simply no way to map all the spots so touching the screen was the only way to make it happen. I have asked the devs to add directional pad support for those areas to that moving the d-pad would move a highlight around to the different boxes. I also asked if they could add support for joystick looking around. I never received a response.
There is also a new controller on the market called Moga. It looks promising, but again support stems back to the developer of the game and whether they can be bothered to work on it.
So in short, yes you can control lots of games and apps with controllers, you just have to take the time to maps them out, but once you do it is a joy to play Android games on the big screen!
Wondering if I can play The Amazing Frog? on my android phone. I acutally have the game installed my main concern is the controller support.
Would it be possibly to connect my ps3 controller to my phone and assume that it will config the buttons automatically.
Is this possible or is there a different way?
Thanks
Huh? Are you playing on the ouya? Do you have the game installed on your phone or ouya? You could try using your controller and reporting back. If it is something about your phone, then you should post there.

Google my friend..... sixaxis
If you are using a phone to play it then dpad or analog stick will proberly work but not the buttons,you will need USB/BT Joystick GOLD to configure them but if the app is only for Ouya then chances are that you wont know what button to press cos there is no touch controls so you need to find out what button on the ouya controller presses what key.have a look at my post and you will see what i mean.
Has anyone found a gamepad app that will allow you to control another app with gamepad functions?
Running Shadow (Windows 10) gives me a online desktop and i have found remote networking apps that work with on-screen trackpad, and now with the new update, i can open an app on the phone as well, but have had no luck finding an app that will allow you to use a gamepad on the same phone. With the correct app, the phone can be a complete windows gaming system with the controller on the phone screen. Anyone else tried this?
For those games that don't support the controller directly, is there a way to map the Joycon buttons to the touchscreen? I read that the Nvidia Shield included a system-wide functionality to map buttons to touches, but I haven't found a way to install it on the Switch over LineageOS. There are also tools like Octopus or Panda, but I'm scared of potential bans on games like Genshin Impact, plus some of them require an external ADB connection from a secondary device. Is there some flashable zip or a Magisk/Xposed overlay I can install instead?
I had SOME success with Mantis Gamepad Pro. I got it working by connecting it to my PC. Started CoD:Mobile, and went into Training. Accessed the Mantis menu overlay, then I pressed "add button", and it tells you to press the button on the controller you want on the screen. So I did this with everything. Looks great.
But when I close the settings, and try and actually USE the controller, the controller the program JUST took instructions from when mapping the touchscreen buttons, it won't do anything. It's like the controller isn't even connected. Even tho it registers when the program asks you to press stuff on your Joy Cons during setup.
Could it be something about Mantis Gamepad Pro not having the right access options or something? Could you please try it out as well, and update this thread if you figure anything out.. Or if you found another solution. I just wanna play Call of Duty Mobile on my Switch.
