Google does provide a native glue (see android_native_app_glue.h) for Android so it seems it is not necessary to implement that much in Java to bootstrap SDL.
Also since the Sensor support is not fixed, it would be easier if most of the code was implemented in C so it can be easier extended.
Another reason can be that letting the VM do as less in Java as possible, could be better for its memory imprint.

I'll probably start to port the current state, because I also need Sensors access.

The last time I looked there wasn't a significant advantage in using native code, since it was still new and less flexible than the Java code, but that may have changed in the last year.

Go for it!

The first code landed.

The question to me is how to support some advanced features like

• OpenSL ES
• Sensors

I've got a working libSDL2 with native activities, no sensors yet, but that wouldn't be hard to add since it's demonstrated in the native activity code from google. I've implemented it as a separate platform alongside the JNI android platform (it's called android_native). It's built using cmake, and android ndk-r8 at the moment (just because we use cmake for all our other projects, and extern dependancies so cross compiling is easy).

How would you like to see what I've done?

@Matthew_Huck I would very much like to see your implementation. Thanks !

Marking a large number of bugs with the "triage-2.0.4" keyword at once. Sorry if you got a lot of email from this. This is to help me sort through some bugs in regards to a 2.0.4 release. We may or may not fix this bug for 2.0.4, though!

Whoops, that shouldn't be part of triage-2.0.4.

Hi, @Matthew_Huck can you send me ur implementation about this(a working libSDL2 with native activities), my email is yzy0@yeah.net, thx!!
