I tried adding different configChanges and sure enough, "navigation" worked! Now bluetooth controllers hot-plug nicely. So shall we add it as a default to the AndroidManifest.xml?
Funny that this is how this activity is described:
"navigation" The navigation type (trackball/dpad) has changed. (This should never normally happen.)
I think the reason behind this is because the bluetooth game controller I was testing doubles-up as a keyboard, which probably comes with a DPAD? It's a MOCUTE-032X_B63-88CE

Changes:
- SDL_WINDOWEVENT_FOCUS_GAINED and SDL_WINDOWEVENT_FOCUS_LOST are sent when the java method onWindowFocusChanged() is called.
- If we have support for MultiWindow (eg API >= 24), SDL event loop is blocked/un-blocked (or simply egl-backed-up or not), when java onStart()/onStop() are called.
- If not, this behaves like now, SDL event loop is blocked/un-blocked when onPause()/onResume() are called.
So if we have two app on screen and switch from one to the other, only FOCUS events are sent (and onPause()/onResume() are called but empty. onStart()/onStop() are not called).
The SDL app, un-focused, would still continue to run and display frames (currently the App would be displayed, but paused).
Like a video player app or a chronometer that would still be refreshed, even if the window hasn't the focus.
It should work also on ChromeBooks (not tested), with two apps opened at the same time.
I am not sure this fix Dan's issue. Because focus lost event triggers Minimize function (which BTW is not provided on android).
https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/file/bb41b3635c34/src/video/SDL_video.c#l2653https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/file/bb41b3635c34/src/video/SDL_video.c#l2634
So, in addition, it would need to add by default SDL_HINT_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS to 0.
So that the lost focus event doesn't try to minimize the window. And this should fix also the issue.
java layer runs as if separate mouse and touch was 1,
Use SDL_HINT_MOUSE_TOUCH_EVENTS and SDL_HINT_TOUCH_MOUSE_EVENTS
for generating synthetic touch/mouse events
InputDevice.SOURCE_CLASS_* are one bit
More readable to check that the source has this class_joystick set,
compared to the other statements, where the source is gamepad or dpad.
(Clean-up from bug 3958)
by checking Android_Window validity
- SDLThread: user application is exiting:
SDL_VideoQuit() and clearing SDL_GetVideoDevice()
- ActivityThread is changing orientation/size
surfaceChanged() > Android_SetScreenResolution() > SDL_GetVideoDevice()
- Separate function into Android_SetScreenResolution() and Android_SendResize(),
formating, and mark Android_DeviceWidth/Heigh as static
- If you call onPause() before CreateWindow(), SDLThread will run in infinite loop in background.
- If you call onPause() between a DestroyWindow() and a new CreateWindow(), semaphores are invalids.
SDLActivity.java: the first resume() starts the SDLThread, don't call
nativeResume() as it would post ResumeSem. And the first pause would
automatically be resumed.
SDLActivity thread priority is unchanged, by default -10 (THREAD_PRIORITY_VIDEO).
SDLAudio thread priority was -4 (SDL_SetThreadPriority was ignored) and is now -16 (THREAD_PRIORITY_AUDIO).
SDLThread thread priority was 0 (THREAD_PRIORITY_DEFAULT) and is -4 (THREAD_PRIORITY_DISPLAY).
Can be check by adding in build.grable:
gradle.projectsEvaluated {
tasks.withType(JavaCompile) {
options.compilerArgs << "-Xlint:unchecked" << "-Xlint:deprecation"
}
}

- destroy Android_ActivityMutex
- display any SDL error message that may have occured in this thread,
since SDL_GetError() is thread specific, and user has no access to it.
In the usual case, first call to onNativeOrientationChanged() is done before
SDL has been initialised and would just set an error message
"Video subsystem has not been initialized" without sending the event.
Default launch mode (standard) allows multiple instances of the SDLActivity.
( https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element#lmode )
Not sure this is intended in SDL as this doesn't work. There are static
variables in Java, in C code which make this impossible (allow one android_window) and
also Audio print errors.
There is also some code added in onDestroy as if it would be able to
re-initialize: https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/27686adb08c3
Bug Android activity life-cycle seems to show there is not transition to get out
of onDestroy()
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity#ActivityLifecycle
( can be tested with "adb shell am start my.package.org/.MainActivity"
and "adb shell am start -n my.package.org/.MainActivity" )
Send me a message if there are real use-case for this !
