This patch to Android.mk adds support for static linking of libSDL for Android applications. A patched readme with static build instructions is also provided.
It does not break existing build environments setup according to the README-android.txt since the static library version will not be built in not required.
The static build uses the Android NDK module system (see docs/IMPORT-MODULE.html in the NDK folder and step 5 in the instructions below).
Instructions:
1. Copy the android-project directory wherever you want to keep your projects
and rename it to the name of your project.
2. Create a symlink to SDL/src/main/android/SDL_android_main.c as
<project>/jni/src/SDL_android_main.c
3. Rename <project>/jni/src/Android_static.mk to <project>/jni/src/Android.mk
(overwrite the existing one)
4. Edit <project>/jni/src/Android.mk to include your source files
5. create and export an environment variable named NDK_MODULE_PATH that points
to the parent directory of this SDL directory. e.g.:
export NDK_MODULE_PATH="$PWD"/..
6. Edit <project>/src/org/libsdl/app/SDLActivity.java and remove the call to
System.loadLibrary("SDL2") line 42.
7. Run 'ndk-build' (a script provided by the NDK). This compiles the C source
Although this requires an environment variable to be setup, it can be added once and for all to the main Android.mk of the project.

As discussed (possibly to death), the Linux joystick driver does not actually report events for added or removed joysticks when you haven't got udev support.
We simply cannot know about removed joysticks without udev. But we can (and we should) report adding them. This brings the legacy case in line with pretty much the rest of SDL's joystick drivers.
This reverts http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/7cdeb64faa72 and fixes it in
the correct way. If you call SDL_SetWindowPosition on a fullscreen
window, it would update the x & y variables for the window, but not
actually move the window (since it was fullscreen). That would make the
internal state of the SDL_Window incorrect, causing
SDL_WarpMouseInWindow to offset incorrectly.
This makes it so SDL_SetWindowPosition updates the `windowed' x & y
coordinates, which take effect when you revert from fullscreen.

Some of the tests keep using the pointers of a destroyed SDL_Window when the common event handling handled the close event. The event handler itself does not NULL the pointer after the destruction.
The attached patch adds a loop in the handler that will assign NULL to the destroyed window. It also adds checks to some of the tests so they skip those windows by checking for NULL.
On Android available touch devices are now added with video initialization (like
the keyboard). This fixes SDL_GetNumTouchDevices() returning 0 before any touch
events happened although there is a touch screen available. The adding of touch
devices after a touch event was received is still active to allow connecting
devices later (if this is possible) and to provide a fallback if the new init
did not work somehow. For the implementation JNI was used and API level 9 is
required. There seems to be nothing in the Android NDK's input header (input.h)
to implement everything on C side without communication with Java side.
This can break builds of existing SDL/WinRT apps. To fix, remove the reference to SDL_winrt_main.cpp, then add a reference to the renamed file, SDL_winrt_main_NonXAML.cpp. If you get a build error about a missing .winmd file, enable the /ZW compiler flag for that one file (at minimum).
1. remove references to SDL's project files from the Visual Studio Solution. To note, these project files have been renamed, and will show up in Visual Studio with the text, "load failed".
2. add the SDL project files back into the Visual Studio Solution
3. for each project that should link to SDL, add a reference to it. This can be done by right-clicking on it in Visual Studio, selecting "References...", clicking "Add New Reference", checking the box next to the SDL project, then closing each dialog by clicking OK.
SDL_mixer, SDL_ttf, and SDL_image for WinRT have been updated, and will be pushed to my Bitbucket repos with these changes having been made. If you do not pull in these changes, be sure to re-add to them the reference to the SDL project, as described above.
XAudio2 2.8's header file, xaudio2.h, doesn't compile in plain C code for WinRT
apps, not automatically at least. Initially, this file was adapted to compile
as C++, however these changes are now deprecated in favor of some preprocessor
based hacks that should get xaudio2.h to compile (while making sure XAudio2
still works).
