Fixed bug 1368 - Enabling joystick subsystem cause an infinite loop

morgan.devel@gmail.com 2012-01-13 00:32:23 PST

The android version of SDL_SYS_JoystickUpdate doesn't check if there is
actually new data and always generate the SDL_JOYAXISMOTION event.
Consequently, doing a while(SDL_PollEvent()) will result in an endless loop.

The attached patch fix this issue.

It also scale the incoming values properly in the Sint16 range. The scale from
[-gravity;+gravity] is done directly in the java part because one may want to
map the sensor values with a non-linear method for example.
