[Bug] Can’t map joystick/motion buttons with Shanwan Controller on AnkiDroid 2.23.0alpha4 (Android 15)

AnkiDroid (Android) Help
1

Hello AnkiDroid team,

I recently bought a Shanwan Controller and successfully connected it to AnkiDroid .
However, in the key-mapping settings I can’t map any joystick / motion controller buttons

During testing, I accidentally deleted one of the pre-assigned buttons. After that, I could not re-assign it anymore. Now that button (and the joystick/motion ones) are completely unusable in AnkiDroid.

Device / Version info:

  • Device: Samsung Tab S9 FE

  • Android: 15 (One UI 7)

  • AnkiDroid: 2.23.0alpha4

  • Controller: Shanwan

Questions / Request:

  1. Is this a known bug?

  2. Is there a way to reset all mappings or force AnkiDroid to recognize these joystick/motion buttons again?

Thank you very much

"I just recorded a video to better illustrate the action. I connected the Shanwan Controller to the tablet, and the buttons work normally, but I can’t map them when adding the joystick.

Have you tried using “Add key”?

Thank you very much, I got it working. I didn’t realize I needed to use ‘Add key’
