Description trabitboy 2017-11-01 20:28:06 UTC 
on an SDL2.0.5 app,
powering on or powering off bluetooth keyboard crashes the app.
Seen also on love2D where it restarts the app

Tested again on SDL 2.0.7 , android 6 ; arm eabi v7a

The app doesn't crash anymore but freezes ( on sync and desync ).
If the keyboard is already synchronized; app starts fine and functions normally
( until desync )

can you do an "adb logcat" and provides the crash/exception stack trace.
Comment 3 trabitboy 2017-12-14 16:12:41 UTC 
not a bug , at least on 2.0.5, the keyboard on off on android is a configuration change and restarts the activity :

solution tested works,
maybe changing the default manifest to include the fix would be good.

Moreover it's already in the lastest source:
