Android 1.6.14 Controller bug

[Sarpy]

Have the same issues too with the furniture selection where it rapidly picks the item up and put it down. Button acts like it's on turbo mode even though it isn't.

Just started playing on mobile using controller (Flydigi Vader 3 Pro) and I experienced not being able to buy items in from Pierre. No matter what button I press it just won't buy the item.

The rest of the issues I encountered were already told by the others

I wonder if a mod will ever exist that could sort it

I'm having the same issues with the controller. I have a gamesir.

wonder when this will get eventually fixed, it's been like a year now

Watch it get fixed just for 1.7 to break it again haha

I really hope this gets resolved soon. I’m using a controller on Android and bugs are really ruining the experience. Really hope they can just port mapping from switch. Do we have any news on this?

I just made an account to tell this issue still persists. Please, it has been more than a year. I always play from mobile. I sometimes cast to a tv with a cable but this issue prevents me playing stardew. 1.6.15.0

Can someone tell if there is any updates or plans? It's been more than a year at this point.

Your best bet is probably waiting for 1.7. CA isn't going to roll out any bug fixes before the big update imo. CH is also taking much of CA's focus.

Hello,

I'm playing on Android, and using a mobile controller, but the right joystick and "View button" on the controller are not working...
And also encountered different problems in Inventory(backpacks), Menus, Chest(box) and Merchants.


• Android verson: 14
• In-game language: Chinese
• single-player
• Controller: ROG Kunai 3 Gamepad (controller like xbox)
• game version：1.6.14 build 24317


----- Cannot open Journal via "View button", and edit the Emote list too.
View attachment 26106(view button).

----- Mobile does not support the "Move Cursor" after connecting to the controller, which makes the right joystick control invalid, but it still supports Emote and Chat.

----- In Inventory, press the button "A" to select an item, press "A" again to cancel, and then press "X" last, the item will disappear... they items are not deleted through trash cans and won't get any gold value.
It is a real disappearance,this bug can even directly destroy basic tools such as sickles, hoes and all items (originally such tools items and special items cannot be deleted)

----- Again in Inventory, due to the lack of a "Cursor", when selecting items with the left joystick and dpad, i don't know what item for my selected (although it still effectively moves the selection)

----- In the Wallet menu (Special Items & Powers), i cannot view the item information in the list by using the left joystick or dpad, (This may also be due to the lack of "Cursor") and the gift log of friends list too...

----- In the Chest(box), you cannot use the joystick and dpad Select the function option on the far right (auto sort, coloring)

----- In Merchants, you cannot purchase items by pressing the button "A"(All places selling items, Marnie, Robin...) .
However in the Overworld, Crafting and Menus the check function of button "A" works.

Oh no! I just made an account to talk about all these problems (2026) and I just saw your post from a year and a half ago and everything is still buggy now, makes me think no one cares about controllers in Android

No news and everything is still the same in 2026. I guess controllers on Android are a bit too niche, but it's the best way to play for many of us

Still gubbed

I still cant play stardew with samsung dex + controller. Hope it gets fixed in at least 1.7 like others said

Hey everyone, I ran into these exact same issues on my Ayaneo and Odin and got frustrated enough to build a SMAPI mod that fixes them. It's called Android Consolizer and it addresses pretty much everything in this thread:

• X button item deletion: Completely blocked. Your iridium pickaxe is safe.
• Invisible inventory cursor: Full console-style cursor with D-pad/thumbstick navigation.
• Can't buy from shops: A button purchases work at every shop (Marnie, Robin, Desert Trader, Blacksmith upgrades — all of them).
• Furniture rapid toggle: One press = one interaction, no more turbo pickup/placement.
• Chest sorting/color picker: X sorts, A transfers stacks, full 7x3 color swatch navigation.
• Trigger toolbar cycling: LB/RB switches rows, LT/RT moves within the row. Also has a bumper-only mode for Xbox Bluetooth controllers where triggers aren't detected.

Basically turns Android controller support into something that plays like the Switch version. 79 fixes total across shops, chests, inventory, shipping bin, Robin's building menu, Community Center bundles, and all the game menu tabs.

It's on Nexus: Android Consolizer

Requires SMAPI Android by NRTnarathip. Every feature is individually toggleable via Generic Mod Config Menu if you only want some of the fixes. Happy to answer questions if anyone runs into issues with specific controllers.
