I was almost at the point to buy a playstation or xbox controller to use with my tablet, since they seem to be supported out-of-the-box. But actually I still have an old USB controller lying around, which would be more than good enough for playing some games. Interestingly my gamepad did in fact work partly, but only the left analog stick and one or two buttons, and the rest did not. My hacker spirit told me that this must be fixable somehow.
So I started hacking around and added support for my old USB gamepad for my android tablet. In this post, I’ll show you how I did it and how you can to add support for any gamepad to your phone or tablet as well!
