Is it possible for an android device to read information from the wii controller and nunchuck?

Question

I am new to android development and have a few questions.

1: Can I make android devices read and use the information from the Wii controller and nunchuck? The functions I need from the Wii controller is movement (imagine a game where you slash in the air and similar movements happen in the game), the joystick on the nunchuk and buttons on both controllers.

2: If this is possible where can I learn to implement this in my application/game?

Answer 1

Have a look at this open source project: http://code.google.com/p/android-bluez-ime/

Answer 2

1. Yes, the wii controllers are all bluetooth. You can pair your android device with any bluetooth device. There are actually apps already in existence that do this (android-wiimote) available.

2. If you look through the source code of imame4all, they actually demonstrate this support.

In particular, this should start you off.
