When using API 21 and running on an old device (android < 5.0 ?) some function are missing.
functions are (at least) : signal, sigemptyset, atof, stpcpy (strcat and strcpy), srand, rand.
Very few modifications on SDL to get this working :
on SDL
======
Undefine android configuration :
HAVE_SIGNAL
HAVE_SIGACTION
HAVE_ATOF
In "SDL_systrhead.c", comment out the few block of lines with "sigemptyset".
Android.mk:
remove the compilation of "test" directory because it contains a few rand/srand calls
Also, there are more discussions about this in internet :

int SOURCE_CLASS_JOYSTICK Constant Value: 16 (0x00000010)
int SOURCE_JOYSTICK Constant Value: 16777232 (0x01000010)
int SOURCE_KEYBOARD Constant Value: 257 (0x00000101)
int SOURCE_GAMEPAD Constant Value: 1025 (0x00000401)
int SOURCE_DPAD Constant Value: 513 (0x00000201)
I have an a PC keyboard that I connect to an android device.
The issue is that "arrow" keys gets lost.
More explanation:
This device gets detected twice by the java "pollInputDevices()" both as SOURCE_KEYBOARD and as a composite (0x1000311 == SOURCE_JOYSTICK | SOURCE_KEYBOARD | SOURCE_DPAD).
Because of being a SOURCE_CLASS_JOYSTICK, only the second entry is registered, and I opened it.
When I press one arrow key, the java method "onKey(...)" is called.
The Source "event.getSource()" is "SOURCE_KEYBOARD", so it enters this conditions :
if ( (event.getSource() & InputDevice.SOURCE_GAMEPAD) != 0 ||
(event.getSource() & InputDevice.SOURCE_DPAD) != 0 ) {
And then, it enters :
SDLActivity.onNativePadDown() (native code in "SDL_sysjoystick.c")
Since the "arrows" are viewed as "D-PAD", it gets translated :
int button = keycode_to_SDL(keycode);
But the android-java "event.getDeviceId()" is wrong: this is the one from the Keyboard, and not the one from the Joystick that I have opened.
So I don't get them through the Joystick interface.
And since, the keycode has been translated, it returns 0 and assume it was consumed.
So I lost the key in the function "Android_OnPadDown()"
Notice, It won't happen with other normal "letters" keys because they does not get translated by "keycode_to_SDL", so "Android_OnPadDown()" returns -1.
And then java code send the keys to "SDLActivity.onNativeKeyDown()".
Possible patch on "Android_OnPadDown" and also "Android_OnPadUp" (and maybe other functons):
85 int
186 Android_OnPadDown(int device_id, int keycode)
187 {
188 SDL_joylist_item *item;
189 int button = keycode_to_SDL(keycode);
190 if (button >= 0) {
191 item = JoystickByDeviceId(device_id);
192 if (item && item->joystick) {
193 SDL_PrivateJoystickButton(item->joystick, button , SDL_PRESSED);
194 }
+ else return -1;
195 return 0;
196 }
197
198 return -1;
199 }
It would allow the java caller function to send the key to "SDLActivity.onNativeKeyDown();"
Another solution, would be to replace:
if ( (event.getSource() & InputDevice.SOURCE_GAMEPAD) != 0 ||
(event.getSource() & InputDevice.SOURCE_DPAD) != 0 ) {
by
if ( (event.getSource() & InputDevice.SOURCE_CLASS_JOYSTICK) != 0)
Because only "SOURCE_CLASS_JOYSTICK" devices are registered/opened.

I have an android device to which I try to connect the google virtual remote application.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.tv.remote
The java method "pollInputDevices()" detects it as an input source 0x701 which is (SOURCE_KEYBOARD | SOURCE_GAMEPAD | SOURCE_DPAD).
It it not added because it does not AND-bitwise with "SOURCE_CLASS_JOYSTICK".
It's only a virtual DPAD and it works when checking also with SOURCE_CLASS_BUTTON

With a Landscape application.
Going to background with Home Key, then foreground.
The screen is distorted.
This has been reported by Samsung. It happens on S5 and Samsung Alpha, see the video attached.
I have captured the following logcat:

V/SDL (20549): Window size:1920x1080
V/SDL (20549): onWindowFocusChanged(): true
V/SDL (20549): nativeResume()
This seems to be related to the fact that I have in "AndroidManifest.xml":
android:configChanges="..."
Because of the fields: "orientation" and also "screenSize".
I have looked for another way to solve the issue. Discarding the "surfaceChanged" call, based on the "requestedOrientation" and the new Orientation. It seems to be better.
On my failing test case, the first "surfaceChanged()" is discarded. Sometimes the "focusChanged()" might appear between the two "surfaceChanged()", while the surface is not yet ready. Thus, discarding also the "nativeResume()".
So, for robustness, a call to "nativeResume()" is added at the end of "surfaceChanged()".
Some update:
1/ First I tried, to discard the surface using the current orientation (rather than width / heigh). -> that solve the issue sometimes, but not always.
2/ Samsung Certification now accepts my application that were previously failing.
3/ I personally now owns a Samsung S5, and was able to solve the issue on my side.
4/ I now use the patch and get no complaints from my users. (but I admit, nobody seemed to be complaining before neither...).
5/ I have added a v2 because of a new smart-phone called "Black Berry Passport" that has a square screen of 1440x1440. This screen has a "status bar" so the resolution is in fact : 1440x1308. (as reported by "surfaceChanged").
Problem is: the portrait resolution is in fact a Landscape!
So the "v1" patch is always discarding the "surface" of BlackBerry Passport. Which is terribly bad.
Hence, I added the "v2" patch not to discard the surface when aspect ratio is < 1.20. (BB 1440/1308 is : 1.1009). Which seems fair.

Not sure - but I think there might be a logic flaw in SDL_SetWindowGrab.
The problem here is that this modifies the window flags and e.g. sets
SDL_WINDOW_INPUT_GRABBED - but the _this->grabbed_window pointer is not
yet set.
Then in SDL_UpdateWindowGrab the _this->grabbed_window pointer is only
set if the function pointer _this->SetWindowGrab is not NULL. But if
this is NULL, the _this->grabbed_window pointer is never set, but every
future call to any of the grab functions include an assert for:
SDL_assert(!_this->grabbed_window || ((_this->grabbed_window->flags &
SDL_WINDOW_INPUT_GRABBED) != 0));
That means the first call works, the second always fails and triggers
the assert.

This causes issues when for instance using the joystick API to make an Android phone rotate an object by rotating the phone. When the absolute value of an axis reported by android is larger than earth gravity, SDL will overflow the Sint16 value used for joystick axes, causing sporadic movements when close to the gravity. Just holding the phone so that e.g. Y points directly upwards will make it unstable, and even more if you just tap the phone gently from below (increasing the acceleration).
More detailed: SDLActivity gets the accelerometer values in onSensorChanged and divides each axis by earth gravity. SDL_SYS_JoystickUpdate takes each of the axis values, multiplies them by 32767.0 (largest Sint16), and the casts them to Sint16. From this you can see that any value from Android that exceeds earth gravity will overflow the joystick axis.
A fix is to clamp the values so that they won't overflow the Sint16.

My build system still shows warning as errors.
The first warning says that the member named instances can never be false (or NULL) as it is a static array, and we should check for instances[index] which we do anyway.

pthread/SDL_syssem.c requires _GNU_SOURCE predefined (like SDL_sysmutex.c),
otherwise sem_timedwait() prototype might not be available to it. Problem
seen with glibc-2.3.4.
If the allocation of an SDL_Touch failed, the number of touch devices was still
increased. Later access of the SDL_Touch would then have dereferenced the NULL.

This is a regression. The changes to fix#2460 cause the EnumJoysticksCallback() function to return without adding devices (Line 345 in SDL-45a632fd9d83\src\joystick\windows\SDL_dinputjoystick.c).
Looking at dinput.h on my system, at least DI8DEVTYPE_DRIVING and DI8DEVTYPE_FLIGHT need to be added to the test.
It might be better to check if (devtype == DI8DEVTYPE_SUPPLEMENTAL) rather than checking if it is NOT EQUAL to a long list of types. Or check if the device is already in the list.
This happens when the pointer is grabbed, but it's not clear if this is a
bug in x.org or my misunderstanding of the XGrabPointer() documentation.
At any rate, we'll want to revisit this later for a better solution.
Fixes Bugzilla #2963.
Make note to send it, and send next time we SDL_PumpEvents().
Otherwise, we might be trying to use malloc() to push a new event on the
queue while a signal is interrupting malloc() elsewhere, usually causing a
crash.
Fixes Bugzilla #2870.
This was the only thing that made SDL_config.h generate differently between
32 and 64-bit versions of Linux, so instead we force a function cast in our
X11 code to match our dynamic loader version, which removes the compile error
on some machines that prompted this test in the first place.
Xlib never wrote to this data, so if you're on an older Xlib where this param
wasn't const, your data should still be intact when we force the caller to
think it was actually const after all.
Fixes Bugzilla #1893.
Fixes Bugzilla #2895.
His notes:
The following trivial changes make SDL2 tree (mostly) compatible with Visual
Studio 2005:
* SDL_stdlib.c: Similar to VS2010 and newer, VS2005 also generates memcpy(),
(it also generates memset(), see below), so propagate the #if condition to
cover VS2005.
* SDL_pixels.c (SDL_CalculateGammaRamp): VS2005 generates a memset() call for
gamma==0 case, so replace the if loop with SDL_memset().
* SDL_windowsvideo.h: Include msctf.h only with VS2008 and newer, otherwise
include SDL_msctf.h
* SDL_windowskeyboard.c: Adjust the #ifdefs so that SDL_msctf.h inclusion is
always recognized correctly.
Fixes Google Chrome, etc, freezing up when SDL owns the clipboard selection
and actually sends thems the correct text for pasting. Confirmed working with
Unicode strings in UTF-8 format.
There were a few tweaks in this patch, but the specific fix is that
event.xselection.target in the SelectionNotify event we send back in reply
must be set to the same atom as the request ("TARGETS" in this case), and
we failed to do that in this special case. Things that don't ask for a target,
like the Gnome Terminal app, worked fine because they don't ask for TARGETS
and just go right to asking for a UTF8_STRING, and Mozilla apparently just
was more liberal in what they accepted in reply.
Chrome would reject our wrong reply and freeze up waiting for a valid one.
Someone should fix that in Chrome, too. :)
Fixes Bugzilla #2926.
