I just want to make some simple buttons that can be interacted with onAction(), i need this for an android game. just to make some simple buttons, but i really dont know how to start 
Sorry I can’t share my code for you now but let’s take a look of this code, I learned from that:

As soon as I complete my tutorials here

You can find the JME3 gamepad in my SVN

Cheers,
This is pretty basic NiftyGUI functionality if I understand you correctly…

One more thing:
I use nifty to display the Left - Right - Up - Down Arrow (on the Left of the screen) but not use Nifty to capture input Event… I also want to know how to capture such Touch event on Android with Nifty.
thank you atomix! with this example i can work

Really good examples here: https://github.com/latestpost/JMonkey3-Android-Examples
gha, thats why people include the android logger :/ thats why I don't like external example repositories.. people come to us and complain.
