Button customization options

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Should be possible to customize what buttons are emulated, and possibly also 
the controller sensibility.

Ken, ive tried playing even though it says Unknown and the game wont progress 
with any buttons. Do you have any ideas of non emulator games i can try?

Btw, the analog stick works properly, its just the buttons.

I tried it with Snesoid, the free version from Market.
Inside Snesoid, you can configure what the buttons do,
and I set it up by configuring buttons.
When the display reads "Press button now", I pressed the 
button and it shows "UNKNOWN", but when I play the game it
works, and I could assign all 4 buttons.

I have not tried it with any non-emulator games, but it might be that some apps 
ignore the button presses because they are "unknown".

Ok so I went into Super Mario World with on screen buttons, and I tested to see 
if the analog stick worked maybe. Nope. I go into the settings for Snesoid 
though, and I can scroll through the options. Cant select any of the options. 
Is there something im missing?

Did you configure the buttons inside Snesoid?
You need to press "Menu", then "Settings" then "Key Mappings".
If it does not respond to button presses, go back to the "Select ROM" screen, 
and click inside the text field in the upper right, that should activate the 
IME, then repeat the  "Menu", "Settings", "Key Mappings" steps and configure 
the buttons.

I configured the buttons under key mappings. And when I do it, it says unknown, 
and then fails to work. I will try your text field thing tomorrow. Btw, ive now 
tried it with HTC stock and Rooted Core Droid. Analog works in the settings, 
but not in game.

Very odd, I tried it on stock HTC and it worked there.
Well, the more incentive for me to start fixing this issue :).

Thx for the update. But im still having problems. They map fine in snesoid but 
they just dont work. What do you recommend i map them to, defaults or something 
else? thx for your support

Ive tried your default and I tried my own customization. Everything works in 
settings, i even used my customizations to type letters inside the text box, 
but this thing wont work in game. I doubt that the stick is defective because 
outside of game the analog and buttons work.

Yes, something has changed. It appears that all key events are sent to the text 
box.

You need to go to settings, other settings, and then check "use input method" 
inside Snesoid.
I tried setting the buttons to literally send A,B,C,D and then configured 
Snesoid to use those,
but it did not work until I checked "use input method".
