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).

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.
SDL_GetWindowDisplayMode was returning an incorrect result on iPhone Plus devices (tested on iOS 12.1/12.2). The problem was that the value returned by UIScreenMode was assumed to be the physical pixels on the display, rather than the scaled retina pixels. The fix is to use the scale returned by UIScreen.scale rather than the nativeScale.
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
