Now that you covered the hard part of getting the application to compile and run, let's go over the application code.
//Screen dimensions SDL_Rect gScreenRect = { 0, 0, 320, 240 };
Since mobile devices vary a lot in resolution, we're going to use variable screen dimensions instead of constant ones.
//Get device display mode SDL_DisplayMode displayMode; if( SDL_GetCurrentDisplayMode( 0, &displayMode ) == 0 ) { gScreenRect.w = displayMode.w; gScreenRect.h = displayMode.h; } //Create window gWindow = SDL_CreateWindow( "SDL Tutorial", SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, gScreenRect.w, gScreenRect.h, SDL_WINDOW_SHOWN ); if( gWindow == NULL ) { SDL_Log( "Window could not be created! SDL Error: %s\n", SDL_GetError() ); success = false; }
Here we call SDL_GetCurrentDisplayMode to get the resolution of the mobile device. We then create a window using the device dimensions.
Notice how we're using SDL_Log instead of printf. This is because Android/iOS have their own platform specific ways to print to the console and SDL gives us a nice wrapper to make our code cross platform.
int main( int argc, char* args[] ) { //Start up SDL and create window if( !init() ) { SDL_Log( "Failed to initialize!\n" ); } else { //Load media if( !loadMedia() ) { SDL_Log( "Failed to load media!\n" ); } else { //Main loop flag bool quit = false; //Event handler SDL_Event e; //While application is running while( !quit ) { //Handle events on queue while( SDL_PollEvent( &e ) != 0 ) { //User requests quit if( e.type == SDL_QUIT ) { quit = true; } } //Clear screen SDL_SetRenderDrawColor( gRenderer, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF ); SDL_RenderClear( gRenderer ); //Render splash gSplashTexture.render( ( gScreenRect.w - gSplashTexture.getWidth() ) / 2, ( gScreenRect.h - gSplashTexture.getHeight() ) / 2 ); //Update screen SDL_RenderPresent( gRenderer ); } } } //Free resources and close SDL close(); return 0; }
Other than the fact that we're using SDL_Log, the code is pretty much the same as before.
