Add SDL_HINT_VIDEO_EXTERNAL_CONTEXT hint to notify SDL that the graphics context is external. This disables the automatic context save/restore behavior on Android and avoids using OpenGL by default when SDL_WINDOW_VUKLAN isn't set.
When the application wishes to manage the OpenGL contexts on Android, this avoids cases where SDL unbinds the context and creates new contexts, which can interfere with the application's operation.
When using Vulkan and Metal renderer implementations, this avoids SDL forcing OpenGL to be enabled on certain platforms. While using the SDL_WINDOW_VULKAN flag can be used to achieve the same thing, it also causes Vulkan to be loaded. If the application uses Vulkan directly, this is not necessary, and fails window creation when using Metal due to Vulkan not being present. (assuming MoltenVK isn't installed)

I've seen this on several devices including Moto Z running Android 7 and a Snapdragon 845 running Android 9.
What happens is as follows:
SDLActivity.onWindowFocusChanged(true) happens pretty early on, but it's before we've done SDL_CreateWindow and so Android_Window is 0x0 thus this message does not get sent:
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL SDL_JAVA_INTERFACE(nativeFocusChanged)(
JNIEnv *env, jclass cls, jboolean hasFocus)
{
SDL_LockMutex(Android_ActivityMutex);
if (Android_Window) {
__android_log_print(ANDROID_LOG_VERBOSE, "SDL", "nativeFocusChanged()");
SDL_SendWindowEvent(Android_Window, (hasFocus ? SDL_WINDOWEVENT_FOCUS_GAINED : SDL_WINDOWEVENT_FOCUS_LOST), 0, 0);
}
SDL_UnlockMutex(Android_ActivityMutex);
}
When the window does get created, in Android_CreateWindow it does this:
window->flags &= ~SDL_WINDOW_RESIZABLE; /* window is NEVER resizeable */
window->flags &= ~SDL_WINDOW_HIDDEN;
window->flags |= SDL_WINDOW_SHOWN; /* only one window on Android */
window->flags |= SDL_WINDOW_INPUT_FOCUS; /* always has input focus */
/* One window, it always has focus */
SDL_SetMouseFocus(window);
SDL_SetKeyboardFocus(window);
The SDL_SetKeyboardFocus does send an SDL_WINDOWEVENT_FOCUS_GAINED message, but it gets eaten in SDL_SendWindowEvent because we've forced SDL_WINDOW_INPUT_FOCUS beforehand:
case SDL_WINDOWEVENT_FOCUS_GAINED:
if (window->flags & SDL_WINDOW_INPUT_FOCUS) {
return 0;
}
window->flags |= SDL_WINDOW_INPUT_FOCUS;
SDL_OnWindowFocusGained(window);
break;
I can fix the problem if I comment out this line from Android_CreateWindow:
window->flags |= SDL_WINDOW_INPUT_FOCUS; /* always has input focus */
I would propose that as a fix unless there is a reason not to.
- If you call onPause() before CreateWindow(), SDLThread will run in infinite loop in background.
- If you call onPause() between a DestroyWindow() and a new CreateWindow(), semaphores are invalids.
SDLActivity.java: the first resume() starts the SDLThread, don't call
nativeResume() as it would post ResumeSem. And the first pause would
automatically be resumed.
First error could happen if Android_SetWindowFullscreen somehow gets
called between SurfaceDestroyed() and SurfaceCreated()
Second error should not happen has native_window validity is guaranteed.
(It would happens previously with error -19)
It accesses data->native_window, which can be changed by onNativeSurfacedChanged().
Currently, Android_SetWindowFullscreen() may access data->native_window after it
has been released, and before a new reference is acquired.
(can be reproduced by adding some SDL_Delay() in onNativeSurfacedChanged and
Android_SetWindowFullscreen() ).
Use a semaphore to prevent concurrency issues between Java Activity and Native thread code, when using 'Android_Window'.
(Eg. Java sending Touch events, while native code is destroying the main SDL_Window. )
Expand SDLActivity::SDLSurface::surfaceChanged() callback to grab the panel width and height at the same time and pass that along to the native code. Only works on API 17+. Duplicates surface dimensions whenever it fails.
Add Android_DeviceWidth/Android_DeviceHeight globals to native code.
Disambiguate Android_ScreenWidth/Android_ScreenHeight -> Android_SurfaceWidth/Android_SurfaceHeight
Use device width/height for all display mode settings.

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.
"In particular, only one VkSurfaceKHR can exist at a time for a given window. Similarly, a native window cannot be used by both a VkSurfaceKHR and EGLSurface simultaneously"

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().
