First error could happen if Android_SetWindowFullscreen somehow gets
called between SurfaceDestroyed() and SurfaceCreated()
Second error should not happen has native_window validity is guaranteed.
(It would happens previously with error -19)
It accesses data->native_window, which can be changed by onNativeSurfacedChanged().
Currently, Android_SetWindowFullscreen() may access data->native_window after it
has been released, and before a new reference is acquired.
(can be reproduced by adding some SDL_Delay() in onNativeSurfacedChanged and
Android_SetWindowFullscreen() ).
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 !
Make sure there is not pending Pause accumulated, so the the application doesn't
remain paused and stucked in onDestroy().
Can be tested by adding:
SDLActivity.nativePause();
SDLActivity.nativePause();
mSingleton.finish();
Doesn't seem to happen manually, but symetrical to the pause handling.
Can be tested by adding:
mNextNativeState = SDLActivity.NativeState.PAUSED;
handleNativeState();
mNextNativeState = SDLActivity.NativeState.RESUMED;
handleNativeState();
mNextNativeState = SDLActivity.NativeState.PAUSED;
handleNativeState();
mNextNativeState = SDLActivity.NativeState.RESUMED;
handleNativeState();
Before, it ends in 'paused' state.
Now, it ends in 'resumed' state.
It may happen to have the sequence pause()/resume()/pause(), before polling
any events.
Before, it ends in 'resumed' state because as the check is greedy.
Now, always increase the Pause semaphore, and stop at each pause.
It ends in 'paused' state.
Related to bug 3250: set up a reconfiguration of SurfaceView holder.
Turn the screen off manually before the app starts
(repro rate is not 100%..)
"Pause" transition will add events:
SDL_WINDOWEVENT_ENTER
SDL_WINDOWEVENT_FOCUS_LOST
SDL_WINDOWEVENT_MINIMIZED
SDL_APP_WILL ENTER BACKGROUND
SDL_APP_DID ENTER BACKGROUND
"Resume" transition will add events:
SDL_APP_WILL ENTER FOREGROUND
SDL_APP_DID ENTER FOREGROUND
SDL_WINDOWEVENT_FOCUS_GAINED
SDL_WINDOWEVENT_RESTORED
If Android application doesn't empty the event loop in between, it enters in
"paused" state when SDL_WINDOWEVENT_RESTORED is fetched.
See bug 3250 for pratical case.
Occurs when application goes to background:
- Java activity is destroying SurfaceView holder and "egl_surface" (in onNativeSurfaceDestroyed())
- While native thread is in Android_GLES_SwapWindow(), prepared to call SDL_EGL_SwapBuffers()
The error is "call to eglSwapBuffers failed, reporting an error of EGL_BAD_SURFACE"
It an be reproduced easily by adding a SDL_Delay(100) at the begining of SDL_EGL_SwapBuffers(),
and putting the application into background.
Use a semaphore to prevent concurrency issues between Java Activity and Native thread code, when using 'Android_Window'.
(Eg. Java sending Touch events, while native code is destroying the main SDL_Window. )
This is the best option for macOS and iOS, the only platforms with Metal.
Pre-Metal versions of these platforms will fall back to OpenGL (ES), as
appropriate.
Huge thanks to Alexander Szpakowski, who worked incredibly hard to get the
Metal renderer to such a high-quality state!
Not only does this fix macOS 10.14 ("Mojave")'s broken NSOpenGLCPSwapInterval
support, it also lets us implement "adaptive vsync" on macOS!
CVDisplayLink is supported back to macOS 10.4 ("Tiger"), so we just use it
universally without version checks and dump NSOpenGLCPSwapInterval, Mojave or
not.
Switching between renderers "software -> opengl -> opengles2 -> software" fails.
"opengl -> opengles2" calls SDL_RecreateWindow() and frees "window->surface"
without marking it as "surface_invalid".

I am having a parallel build problem with -j3 or higher using the autotools build and slibtool instead of GNU libtool. Basically slibtool is faster than GNU libtool and it will start working before mkdir starts or finishes creating the build/ directory.

I'm on macOS 10.14 and I think I'm using or around SDL 2.0.9. This is about the menu bar that SDL sets up which looks like:
<App Name> <Window> <View>
1. View menu never proceeds after the Window menu in any Mac application (it is always before).
2. For SDL, the only purpose of the View menu is for a single fullscreen menu item, which is not justifiable enough to reserve space for a menu. The View menu should thus be removed, and the full screen menu item should be added at the end inside of Window's menu. See built in apps like Dictionary, Chess, App Store (on 10.14) that do this.
3. SDL should add a "Close" menu item to the Window's submenu, and it should be the first item. Its key equivalent should map to command w. Without this, you cannot close the game window via this shortcut, and you cannot close the app's About window via this shortcut.
4. Apps typically use "Enter Full Screen" or "Exit Full Screen" depending on context, not "Toggle Full Screen" which is less user friendly -- I personally care about this point the least.
This happens if you try to lock the pointer and (caps & WL_SEAT_CAPABILITY_POINTER) is false
Leading to input->pointer being NULL which ends up bringing the wayland client down (at lease on weston)
