Could you please share your code. Could it be that the GameInput object is goiing out of scope and garbage collected?

Hello nimitja, and thanks for your fast response 
Your sample worked on the third try for some reason (black screen before that). After that, I got a white screen with text. Looking at your code, I see that the text gets populated on the GameInputEvent.DEVICE_ADDED listener. For some reason, that listener never gets called in my code, although querying GameInput still returns numDevices == 1.
I aded the "-swf-version=20" to the compiler, but nothing changed.
I'll try recompiling your project to see if it's some kind of environment problem, as I don't know what else to check.
Thank you!
I will when I arrive at home, but it was something like:
class Main {
public function Main() {
var gameInput = new GameInput();
if (gameInput.numDevices > 0) {
trace("Device: " + gameInput.getDeviceAt(0));
}
gameInput.addEventListener(GameInputEvent.DEVICE_ADDED, onDevideAdd);
// Initialize Starling...
}
public function onDeviceAdd(event:GameInputEvent) {
trace("Device name: " + event.name);
}
}
GameInput going out of scope maybe has something to do with the listener never getting called, but not with the first trace returning "Device: null".
I'll try with a static version later, but as said, that doesn't explain the first result (unless the GC is doing some magic I don't know about, of course)
Thank you both for your responses
Nice!
Also, while you´re at it, I have found other inconsistencies, not sure if this is intended behavior.
With the same code, on Windows I get numDevices == 0 when starting the app, then one device is added and I get numDevices == 1.
On OUYA, I get numDevices == 1 when starting the app, then one device is added and I get numDevices == 1.
Both behaviors cannot be right
Also, on Windows, the controller that's being added is not connected to my computer (I don't even have it anymore), is just registered with Windows. I think that's also wrong (DEVICE_ADDED should be fired for connected devices, isn't it?)
Thanks again!
