he was using the Samsung EI-gp20 controller while developing. When I try to use my same controller it fails . I connect with bluetooth fine but will not do anything unless I push and install the apk on the phone itself and pair it to the phone which defeats the purpose to program in unity gamepad control.
The guy in the video is using a Mac .. I am using win7 pro 64.
How do I access the Touchpad input in Unity for the GearVr. I see a ovrtouchpad.cs
script but I dont see how it is accessed . I just want to get a Tap response in my app. Thank you very for your time.
Does anyone have an answer to this query ? I also cannot figure out how to detect any input on the GearVR
At a very basic level, the touchpad basically acts like a mouse, so you can simply do this to find out when the user has released their finger from the touchpad:
if(Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.Mouse0)) { //TODO: Insert code here to respond to releasing finger from touchpad, but you won't know how long that touch was, or if they moved around on the touchpad, etc) }
Or, if you want to be a bit more precise, you can try to make use of OVRTouchpad.cs. Wherever you plan to use it, make sure you've first called OVRTouchpad.Create() at the beginning, and then wire up a function that will be called whenever OVRTouchpad's TouchHandler event occurs.
For example if you're setting this up in a Monobehaviour (a component that's part of the game loop):
void HandleTouchHandler (object sender, System.EventArgs e) { OVRTouchpad.TouchArgs touchArgs = (OVRTouchpad.TouchArgs)e; if(touchArgs.TouchType == OVRTouchpad.TouchEvent.SingleTap) { //TODO: Insert code here to handle a single tap. Note that there are other TouchTypes you can check for like directional swipes, but double tap is not currently implemented I believe. } }
If you want to get fancy and monitor how the finger moves on the touchpad for something other than a basic swipe or tap, you'll need to implement your own logic to watch the "mouse movements" of the touchpad and act accordingly.
Hope that helps!

I am on Mac (Yosemite) and paired the game pad successfully. But it behaves like a mouse. The only thing I can do is moving around with the right analog stick (in any application). It works great in conjunction with the gear.
Console output of Input.GetJoystickNames () is empty.
Is there anything special to do in order to make this running with the MacBook too?
Same problem here. I am on a Macbook Pro, same as in the Youtube video (linked above). In the video regarding the Samsung gamepad and the OVRPlayerController he says that "it just works", but that doesn't seem to be the case. I cannot get any response from my Samsung gamepad on my Mac except for one button. Any help greatly appreciated.
