Custom Controller Project

Custom Controller Project

The developer package includes an Android Studio project to build a custom controller archive that can be later used instead of the default included controller archive inside the Snapdragon Spaces Unity package or Unreal Engine plugin.

To change the appearance of the controller, open the project with Android Studio (2020.3 or later recommended) and open SpacesController > res > layout > custom_input_companion_controller.xml. The class located under SpacesController > java > com.qualcomm.snapdragon.spaces.spacescontroller.SpacesCustomInputContentViewFactory will be the one that will overwrite the controller inside the Spaces Services application. If IDs in the layout file or other values declared under the SpacesController > res > values path are about to change, their respective counterparts in the previously mentioned class should also be managed accordingly to avoid any linking errors.
