Answer 1

Maybe there are more sophisticated solutions, but you can add to your activity android:configChanges="keyboardHidden" in manifest.

And handle opening with onConfigurationChanged method.

Answer 2

Check logcat. If any broadcast fired when slider opened, you might want to use a broadcast receiver. Look this tutorial for broadcast receiver

Answer 3

To detect the gamepad slide in/out for Xperia PLAY, please use the following configuration constant: NAVIGATIONHIDDEN_*
