i made a sprite but how do i set up the controls? (android)

ok so i made my sprite i have the texture atlas now how do i get some buttons on screen and set them up to control the character is there any examples out there

only game examples i found were ones that make a character move with arrow keys on the keyboard im trying to make a game for android so i need to have buttons on screen (like left and right arrows and jump)

i know this might seem like a dumb question but this is the newbie section :stuck_out_tongue:
