Description (last modified by )
Hi,
My Hardware:
AMAZON Fire HD 8 (10th generation |2020)
OS: Fire OS 7.3.1.3 (Android 9 base)
I change the Control settings in "Touchpad mouse mode", but my touchpad is always in direct mode.
I tested the Playstore version, the latest stable (2.1.1) and the nightly build (2.3.0 git363-g80c29d1c94).
In GUI or in Game...always in direct mode.
Thanks for your help!

It looks like the check to see if the event came from a stylus here has a problem. According to the Android InputDevice documentation, SOURCE_STYLUS "merely indicates that an input device is capable of obtaining input from a stylus." So what is happening is that if the device reports it is capable of using a stylus, all touch input is being treated as mouse input.
It appears the fix to check for stylus input is to instead check the tool type returned by MotionEvent#getToolType(int). I wrote a small test app and confirmed that for touch events the Fire HD8 (2020) tablet has the InputDevice flag for SOURCE_STYLUS always set. I also confirmed that checking the ToolType of a touch screen event returned TOOL_TYPE_FINGER and not TOOL_TYPE_STYLUS. I don't think this is specific to Fire tablets; I was able to reproduce it on an emulated device, but I don't have any other real tablets.
