Customize controls

[f.l.x]

Let's see

I have had my input handled for a midp1 game more or less like...

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12   13   14   15   16

protected void keyPressed(int keycode) {//TODO poner en funcion de controles definidos      switch(keycode){          case -1:             joy_map = joy_map | 1;             break;          case -2:             joy_map = joy_map | 2;             break;          case -3:             joy_map = joy_map | 4;             break;          case -4:             joy_map = joy_map | 8;             break;       }    }

but with larger switch blocks.

I want to make the controls customizable, so the player can define his own way to interact with the game and to bypass the odd keycode changes for the cursor / joystick / whatever depending on the manufacturer of the handset.

I used to define an int[] teclas with the mapping of all the keys, but as long as case expressions can only contain final + static values i had to rely on long if-else blocks, which are slower than switch ones:

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12   13   14

protected void keyPressed(int keycode) {       if(Juego.teclas[Juego.CUR_UP] == keycode){          joystick = joystick | 1;       }else if(Juego.teclas[Juego.CUR_DWN] == keycode){          joystick = joystick | 2;       }else if(Juego.teclas[Juego.CUR_LFT] == keycode){          joystick = joystick | 4;       }else if(Juego.teclas[Juego.CUR_RGT] == keycode){          joystick = joystick | 8;       }else if(Juego.teclas[Juego.CUR_CEN] == keycode){          joystick = joystick | 16;       } etc... }

Is there a way to map the control to constant values or will i have to rely on if-else blocks?
