When I attempted to make a mapping file for Android gamepads, I quickly discovered that most of the ones that I have here show up as the same device (Broadcom Bluetooth HID), meaning that it was impossible to make mappings on Android, since every device looked the same.
This patch will check for the existence of the getDescriptor function added in Jelly Bean, and use it if it's there. The Android Dashboard says that the majority of Android phones should support this function, and doing it this way will not force us to bump up our API version.

Here's a patch.
It tries to get the hint first. Resizable will allow any orientation. Otherwise it uses width/height window.
setOrientation method is splitted in static and non-static, so that it can be overloaded in a user subclass.
Some artefact observed :
surfaceChanged() can be called twice at the beginning. When the phone starts in portrait and run a landscape application.

I removed all the static variables from SDLActivity.java
Updated all the SDL_android.c jni calls as well
I added a new function to SDL_android.c/ h
void Android_JNI_SeparateEventsHint(const char* c);
This is called by SDL_androidtouch.c so that this TU doesn't need to call any JNI functions.
They were not needed internally since the switch to the common EGL backend.
Thanks to the SDL mailing list for pointing out that the functions seem unused.
The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly
uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to
use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful
because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash
in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was
dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
