I've been trying to get minecraft on android to work with my switch pro controller, but it wouldn't let me break or place blocks, as well as the dpad was continuing to press itself even after i let go. i went into a gamepad tester and saw that the switch pro controller registers ZL and ZR as L2 and R2 respectively, while my xbox controller uses the axis's LTrigger and RTrigger. it confuses me how the buttons aren't registering to the game even though they're valid to the device i'm using. also, i don't get how the dpad is acting like that even though if i use another program or the main menu of my android phone, it doesn't.
I'm Using a Galaxy A70.

Issue still happens (beta 1.17.20.21)
Still using Galaxy A70 on Android 11.
Reproduction Steps:
1. Pair a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller to the device through Bluetooth
2. Start Minecraft
3. After loading, tap down on the Dpad, it will keep moving even after letting go.
4. After Entering a World, ZL and ZR do not place or break blocks.
It's expected that the controller would work fine, since the game doesn't need analog input for breaking and placing.
