TL;DR:

  • Run /SDL2Droid-CS-Native/buildnative.sh
  • Compile /SDL2Droid-CS-Java/ into /SDL2Droid-CS-JBindings/Jars/SDL2Droid-CS-Java.jar
  • Change /SDL2Droid-CS/Bootstrap.cs, /SDL2Droid-CS/Resources/ and /SDL2Droid-CS/MainActivity.cs
  • Compile SDL2Droid-CS using Xamarin.Android (f.e. via Xamarin for Visual Studio).

/SDL2Droid-CS-Native/

What: SDL2 Android.mk makefile and "wrapper" code (SDL_main returning to C# managed land)

Why: Xamarin for Visual Studio has got some problems with compiling native libraries on its own.

Compilation: Run buildnative.sh (cygwin-compatible) from inside /SDL2Droid-CS-Native/. That's it.

/SDL2Droid-CS-Java/

What: Original SDL2 SDLActivity.java interoperating with native SDL2 code

Why: SDL2's native side is prepared for the JNI bindings in SDLActivity.java - let's just reuse them!

Compilation: In your favourite Java IDE, produce a compiled .jar artifact and place it into /SDL2Droid-CS-JBindings/Jars/

/SDL2Droid-CS/ and /SDL2Droid-CS-JBindings/

What: The Mono side of things: Main C# code and SDLActivity bindings.

Why: Why not?

Compilation:

  • Load the solution in Visual Studio with the "Xamarin for Visual Studio" extension installed.
  • Modify /SDL2Droid-CS/Bootstrap.cs for your main code, /SDL2Droid-CS/Resources/ for any strings / icons / ... and /SDL2Droid-CS/MainActivity.cs for the launch config (f.e. orientation).
  • Compile as you would any other Xamarin.Android project.
