Interface GamepadListener

public interface GamepadListener

Told about controllers coming and going and about their buttons. Register one with Gamepads#addListener(GamepadListener); every callback arrives on the EDT.

Axis movement is not reported here, because a stick reports dozens of values a second: read Gamepad#getAxis(int) from the update loop instead.
