Add rotary input support for Android platform #88130

AlekseyKapustyanenko · 2024-02-09T09:56:48Z

This PR adds Rotary input support for wear os devices. It converts RotaryInput to vertical mouse wheel event. Without it Godot does not recognise this event at all.

Assuming the implementation will be accepted by the @godotengine/android team, one step prior to merging would be to squash the commits. See PR workflow for instructions.

The documentation you linked to has additional logic that is not replicated here; is there a reason to leave that logic out?

You should also provide the ability for users to select whether this should be converted to a vertical event or to a horizontal event using project settings.

Thank you for review. Yes you are right I need to make negation for axis value. All other logic in this documentation connected with getting some settings from configuration, like getting scroll velocity and applying RotaryInput to UI control.

You should also provide the ability for users to select whether this should be converted to a vertical event or to a horizontal event using project settings.

I have concerns about ability to change direction of this input from vertical to horizontal through project settings. As I understand we should convert some specific inputs to another more general inputs. So here I conver RotaryInput to mouse wheel input(most of miсe have only one wheel for vertical scrolling). If I added such settings It would be very disappointed, because in the same game running on PC mouse wheel would cause vertical scrolling but on smart watches crown wheel or bezel wheel would cause horizontal scrolling. Anyway In the same game such event can cause as vertical as horizontal scrolling in different scenes. So how to handle this events and which axis should be chaned by this event should be defined in specific places(inside controls or scene or other object scripts) in my opinion.

Considering fact that if developer wants to handle this events as horizaontal scrolling he can override it with a couple lines of script such configuration option contradicts this rule:

Can the feature be worked around in script with a few lines?
If the feature is only intended to save users a few lines of code it is unlikely to be accepted.

So if I have not convinced you, let me know and I will add this setting.

For a cross-platform game/app, I'd agree that consistency is key and for that reason the default value for the project setting should be set to vertical to simulate similar interaction on other platforms.

However a developer can also decide to target wear os devices only and as such should not be restricted by other platforms conventions. For that reason, we should provide the option to override how the rotary input is interpreted.

Added option to change RotaryInpur axis through project settings.

I personally suggest switching the order here as X is conventionally the first axis.

Suggested change

GLOBAL_DEF_RST_NOVAL(PropertyInfo(Variant::STRING, "input_devices/pointing/android/rotary_input_scroll_axis", PROPERTY_HINT_ENUM, "Y,X"), "Y");

GLOBAL_DEF_RST_NOVAL(PropertyInfo(Variant::STRING, "input_devices/pointing/android/rotary_input_scroll_axis", PROPERTY_HINT_ENUM, "X,Y"), "Y");

But, is it appropriate to use a string for this setting? Could it also not be a numerical value or a boolean (0 or 1), instead?

I agree the axis value should be an int instead of a string. This matches the pattern used in the codebase.

As for the labels, I think using Horizontal, Vertical would be more clear.

Horizontal,Vertical. No spacing, it is not trimmed when visualized. Notably, though, there's really going to ever be just two options so the setting could also be reworked into a toggle. Unless for some reason other mouse button combinations are considered.

Thanks for the correction!
I think it's okay to keep both options since it's consistent with what we usually do for axes, and it provides more clarity to the end user.
