How can I linkba controller to mintest on android. If three is no native support how would I need to map controls to screen to use a controller?

Is there something to write in the Minetest settings ? I can't get any of those to work...

If you're trying to run a keymapper to use a gamepad for Minetest then no, I don't think you'd need to make any Minetest settings changes. On a similar Linux setup I didn't need to make Minetest settings adjustments for this.

I'd expect that you'd need to start your keymapper program first, map the keyboard to your gamepad appropriately (i.e. wasd would go to the left analog stick, etc), check that it's working in a simple app like a text editor. Finally, if all of that works then try loading up Minetest.

Yeah it kinda works with the keymappers I tried on android but not always. It bugs basically, not really nice to play...

Native support would be great
