Description Sylvain 2018-10-09 13:11:43 UTC 
About sensors on Android, implemented in https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/24142c5073a4 and bug #1717

Java side *always* calls: 
   
  mSurface.enableSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER, true);

And there is this comment FIXME: "Why aren't we enabling sensor input at start?"


Wouldn't it make sensor to do this only if we have initialized the sensor subsystem by doing SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_SENSOR).

e.g. to add in "SDL_ANDROID_SensorInit()" (SDL_androidsensor.c) a JNI call to allow enable/disable sensors on java side during create()/pause()/resume()/destroy()
Comment 1 Sam Lantinga 2018-10-10 00:43:27 UTC 
This is needed for the accelerometer joystick, which isn't tied to the sensor subsystem. This is something we can clean up for SDL 2.1.
