(This is the legacy documentation for stable SDL2, the current stable version; SDL3 is the current development version.)

SDL_HINT_ACCELEROMETER_AS_JOYSTICK

A variable controlling whether the Android / iOS built-in accelerometer should be listed as a joystick device.

Header File

Defined in [SDL_hints.h](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/SDL2/include/SDL_hints.h), but apps should _only_ `#include "SDL.h"`!

Syntax

#define SDL_HINT_ACCELEROMETER_AS_JOYSTICK "SDL_ACCELEROMETER_AS_JOYSTICK"

Remarks

This variable can be set to the following values: "0" - The accelerometer is not listed as a joystick "1" - The accelerometer is available as a 3 axis joystick (the default).

Code Examples

#include "SDL.h"

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    // This disables the use of gyroscopes as axis device
    SDL_SetHint(SDL_HINT_ACCELEROMETER_AS_JOYSTICK, "0");
}

Default

By default SDL will list real joysticks along with the accelerometer as if it were a 3 axis joystick.
