Hide Mouse Cursor - isn't working

RaveTZ · January 2013

Am I missing something? I seem to see the mouse cursor regardless of my attempts to hide it.

HashbangGames · January 2013

I'll look into this with Tim tonight, sorry for the late response. I can not guarantee a solution, but we can make sure we are not blocking anything from the java side of things.

tgraupmann · January 2013

Perhaps we could add a JNI call to hide the mouse cursor on the java side. Added to the todo list.

Thinksquirrel · January 2013

Sounds great! This would be much appreciated. Has anyone tested Screen.lockCursor as well?

Wurd-Industries · January 2013

I have Screen.showCursor = false on my start up but the cursor still shows up

tgraupmann · January 2013

Has to happen on the Java side.

RaveTZ · February 2013

Any work on this? This is still kicking my butt.

Ayrik · February 2013

What is the java call for this? I can't seem to find any information about it.

tgraupmann · February 2013

As long as you use the ODK a few seconds after moving the touch pad the cursor should auto disappear. That's what I've seen it doing.

Dreamwriter · February 2013

I think the problem is it showing up in the first place. Some games may want to use the touchpad without a cursor ever showing up, for example a pinball game where you use the touchpad to simulate pulling the plunger back - a cursor showing up then would be confusing to the player.

Buddy (from the core OUYA team says) [11:06:18 AM] Buddy: quick googling says no :) but we'll want to add support for that, and for letting people change the cursor icon

Thinksquirrel · February 2013

Yea, I followed up on this a few weeks earlier. Android doesn't expose anything at all to change the mouse cursor, so OUYA will need to do this on their end.

I'd love to have access to raw touch events as well (input position on the touch pad), for gesture control.

tgraupmann · February 2013

What values do you see with touch input?

RaveTZ · February 2013

Yeah. Some of us simply need the cursor to not display at all so we can use Unity to draw the art we need.

Tribute · February 2013

Yeah this is something that is bothering us as well.

We don't want any mouse cursor to show up and just handle swipes.

RaveTZ · March 2013

Any work on this? We can't be expected to show the cursor every time someone touches the pad. The cursor also doesn't work well in other resolutions.

tgraupmann · March 2013

The Android SDK doesn't have a method to hide the cursor. I know about the issue.

JJHaggar · July 2013

Any news on this? Any estimated time? I hope it can be fixed soon :)

tgraupmann · July 2013

Not yet...

nightlight · August 2013

Just another bump : )

Hope to see this at some point.

Thanks Tim!!

Maybe there's a hidden interface....

Hey Tim!

Just saw latest update for OUYA (orogoro) and part of update is method for hiding the cursor.

OuyaController.showCursor(false);

Was wondering if it will be available inside Unity as well, one day perhaps?

Thanks!

P.S. Congrats on Gravi being greenlit!! I see that release day is today, so take your time with answering : )

tgraupmann · October 2013

With the new ODK I can expose that.

tgraupmann · October 2013

Checked in.

All you need to call is:

// Hide the cursor

OuyaSDK.OuyaJava.JavaShowCursor(false);

// Show the cursor

OuyaSDK.OuyaJava.JavaShowCursor(true);

You have to apply the latest OTA updates on your OUYA of course...

nightlight · May 2014

Hey Tim,

not sure what I am doing wrong, or even if this is the thing I am after.

What I am trying to accomplish is have cursor hidden at all times (there is nothing to click in our game anyway).

So after adding "OuyaSDK.OuyaJava.JavaShowCursor(false);" cursor still shows up.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Kreso

nightlight · May 2014

Should I be calling "OuyaSDK.OuyaJava.JavaShowCursor(false);" on Update() perhaps?

tgraupmann · May 2014

That's too many calls. You should only need to call it once.

Make sure that the Java is compiled and there are no errors.

All you need to call is:

// Hide the cursor

OuyaSDK.OuyaJava.JavaShowCursor(false);

// Show the cursor

OuyaSDK.OuyaJava.JavaShowCursor(true);

MegaNuke · May 2014

nightlight, i had this same problem,

everybody was saying that it works, but it didnt for me.

i gave up, and leave it for later,

then i updated to the latest version of the odk, compiled it, and magically it started working.

thats my advice: reinstall the odk (be sure to remove old files), comiple ndk, and java.

Howdy, Stranger!
