patch for SDLActivity.java

Hello,

SDL 2.0 (HG) does not support versions of Android older than 2.2 (API 8) because it uses two newer "convenience methods" [1][2] in SDLActivity.java.

In SDL's README.android the mentioned version is 1.6 (API 4) and in default.properties it is API 5 (which is more true). Both are currently not supported.

I attached a patch which inlines both methods and makes SDL usable with older Android versions again.
