IsGamepadAttached() doesn't work on Xbox One?

IsGamepadAttached() doesn’t work on Xbox One? I using the GenericApplication function like i did on the PS4(Worked 100%) and on PC but it always returns false on Xbox One (With the controller connected and disconnected).
Maybe the interface for the generic function was not made but someone knows a way around this?

Thank you!

Hello,

I found the same issue in version 4.21.2

The implementation is:

bool FXboxOneInputInterface::IsGamepadAttached() const
{
	for (auto DeviceIt = ExternalInputDevices.CreateConstIterator(); DeviceIt; ++DeviceIt)
	{
		if ((*DeviceIt)->IsGamepadAttached())
		{
			return true;
		}
	}
return false;
}

Unfortunately that ExternalInputDevices is always empty. I tried to understand what is an “ExternalInputDevice” but I don’t think it refers to gamepad.

I patched the code with this:

	bool isGamepadAttached = false;
	{
		// Should call this, but the function is const.
		//FScopeLock Lock(&GamepadAndUserCS);

		for (auto controllerstate : ControllerStates)
		{
			if (controllerstate.ControllerRef != nullptr)
			{
				isGamepadAttached = true;
				break;
			}
		}
	}

	return isGamepadAttached;

I hope is not too risky to call it without the critical section.
It would be great if the Epic Guys verify this and in case implement a more elegant solution.

Best regards
