I want a simple joystick-like input widget for touch devices (phones and tablets) that is effectively 5 buttons: left, right, up, down, and stop. It's the main control of a game and it let's the player direct an object around the screen. Something like this:

So what I'm looking for are established conventions for this kind of control on a touch screen, if there are any.

  • Don't have balsamiq mockups :(. Would like to request to upload a pdf file?

  • @Andy - the Balsamiq mockup is displayed as a PNG file on this page, don't know why you can't see it.

The Android developer portal has a couple of widgets - since it is on the dev portal, it's quite understandable that it must be in use. https://android-arsenal.com/tag/227

This youtube video is showing a practical use of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdWZq8vdKhs
