SDL on Android in 10 step

I wrote up all the steps I took to get things working on my phone (except
for blitting images… we’ll get there I’m sure). It may not be the most
sensible, logical method, but it’s sort of working so I’ll take it.

All credit goes to you guys for helping me out - especially Dimitris, Ryan
and Manuel:

This may actually be one of the first SDL/Android walkthroughs out there -
at least, I couldn’t find any when I started. Hopefully somebody will find
it useful.

Thanks for the help promoting this :slight_smile: With any luck there’ll be a few more
people working with the port sooner or later. SDL for iOS seems to get a lot
more interest that Android - not sure why, Android is way cooler, though it
is a little scary how Google now controls my entire online existence!
Bof, guess I’m just a Linux hippy…

Still have a few problems: I reckon this is going to become part of a series
:stuck_out_tongue: Feeling good making progress despite all the adversity, but I worry that
my employers (nice French indie guys but still) will start saying “We wanted
to use Unity, we agree to let you do things in C++ but this is taking
forever”. Non-programmers have trouble understanding the concept of closed
platforms…

i am pretty interested if not a little scared to start using SDL for my
android projects, i feel a little dirty cheat using libgdx
http://code.google.com/p/libgdx/ for my last projects,

i think sdl on android has alot to learn from libgdx, if SDL on android
became as simple to use as libgdx it would be party time… erm…

right now my next android project i am going back to just andoid not libgdx
in the hope i get a better understanding of the general workings of android
rady to star going into NDK territory.

here is my tat on android so far - http://www.bogstd.com/ ( all libgdx )
