This is it, it is not really platform independand, is it? But that doesn't matter, I only run the program in Windows Very, very much thanks for your help Kevglass Jos Foppele

the dxinput.jar is in ${jre.home}/lib/ext/controller/ together with the dll I never extracted that jar, only the jars in the applications classpath (jinput.jar and jutils.jar). The reason was to see if it would work extracted. But it did not make a difference (as you would propably have expected )

Quote from: kevglass on 2005-06-03 12:21:05 Ah, but where is the dll? as said in the JInput Introduction sticky on top of this forum, I placed the dll as following: Quote Installation of the plugin(s): ----------------------------------- Nearly all plugins consist of two files. One of them is the native library (e.g. dxinput.dll, libjinput.so) and the other one is the java part of the plugin (any official name for that?). There are multiple ways for installing a plugin: 1) the easiest but most (system) polluting way: create a folder named 'controller' inside your ${jre.home}/lib/ext folder and copy the two files in. The project itself is located on another harddrive, but that was never a problem and I don't know why it should be a problem now...

I don't have much more consoles. This is the other, the debugging console: Quote Listening on 4582 User program running User program finished my own code is in a package called idp1 the libraries are in net/java/games/input and net/java/games/util/plugin (were in .jar files, but that didn't work so I tried it extracted, with the same result. On the moent it is still in extracted state) an overview: -Source Packages ---idp1 ------Bestuuring.java ------Main.java ------<more files, witch I think don't matter> ---net.java.games.input ------<All the files> ---net.java.games.input.test ------<All the files> ---net.java.games.util.plugin ------<All the files> ---net.java.games.util.plugin.test ------<All the files>

the complete code of the thread. The code in sendAxis() might have some errors, but I'm sure my problems are not coming from there, because he can't come in that code, because I get the errorMessage "controller is null" on screen

Quote from: kevglass on 2005-06-03 11:07:16 Try out: http://www.newdawnsoftware.com/jinput/jinput.jnlp This works fine, but if I use it in my code, it (again) gives the same error my Java Version: Version 1.4.2_08 (build 1.4.2_08-b03)

Quote from: kevglass on 2005-06-03 10:38:01 To start with, where did you get your java and natives from? I used the files from the NightlyBuilds. But after using your files I get the same problem. I also searched my code for any addAxis method call (for the third time) but I can not seem to find where this method is called...

Quote from: kevglass on 2005-06-03 09:49:27 That would apper to be caused by the native libraries you have been out of sync with the java libraries. Kev I'm a newbie so could you give me some tips on solving this?

I've re-installed the driver and rewritten my code, it seems to me the driver is properly installed now. But another problem has appeared , so I've not tested it yet. Can anybody help me with my next problem? The output I received: Quote init: deps-jar: Compiling 1 source file to D:\School\Project Telebluppy\GUI\build\classes compile: OS name is: Windows XP DX8 plugin is supported OS name is: Windows XP DX8 plugin is supported java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: addAxis at net.java.games.input.DirectInputEnvironmentPlugin.directInputCreate(Native Method) at net.java.games.input.DirectInputEnvironmentPlugin.<init>(DirectInputEnvironmentPlugin.java:114) at idp1.Bestuuring.<init>(Bestuuring.java:22) at idp1.Main.main(Main.java:71) Exception in thread "main" Java Result: 1 debug: BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 10 seconds) The error is thrown on the first line of my constructor Quote public Bestuuring() { DirectInputEnvironmentPlugin diep = new DirectInputEnvironmentPlugin(); /* This throws an Internal Exception: * java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: addAxis * at net.java.games.input.DirectInputEnvironmentPlugin.directInputCreate(Native Method) * at net.java.games.input.DirectInputEnvironmentPlugin.<init>(DirectInputEnvironmentPlugin.java:114) */ // retrieve the available controllers net.java.games.input.Controller[] controllers = diep.getControllers(); gp = null; if (controllers.length > 0) {//error is caught in the run methode net.java.games.input.Controller c; for (int i = 0; i < controllers.length; i++) { c = controllers; if(c.getType() == net.java.games.input.Controller.Type.GAMEPAD) { // c is a gamepad gp = controllers; } } } }

I'm having much trouble running JInput with a gamepad. When I call getControllers() it returns an empty array following is my code: Quote /* * Bestuuring.java * * Created on 12 mei 2005, 10:14 / package idp1; import net.java.games.input.; import net.java.games.util.plugins.; /* * * @author Groep15 */ public class Bestuuring extends Thread { private net.java.games.input.Controller gp; public Bestuuring() { System.out.println("bestuuring online"); ControllerEnvironment ce = DirectInputEnvironmentPlugin.getDefaultEnvironment(); // retrieve the available controllers net.java.games.input.Controller[] controllers = ce.getControllers(); //this gives an empty array if (controllers.length == 0) { System.out.println("controllers == null"); } else { System.out.println("controllers found"); } net.java.games.input.Controller c; gp = null; for (int i = 0; i < controllers.length; i++) { c = controllers; if(c.getType() == net.java.games.input.Controller.Type.GAMEPAD) { // c is a gamepad gp = controllers; } } } public void run() { //not yet coded, no need because the constructor doesn't work } private void errorHandler(String message) { Main.stuur.append("e" + message); //works fine } } I'm running on Windows XP with NetBeans 4 and J2sdk1.4.2 Could someone please give me some advice?
