That PR has been in Silk.NET since 2.17. However, I notice that we haven't rebuilt the Android binary for some time, so it's actually closer to being exactly the same for 3 years.

Silk.NET uses SdlProvider to create its instance. You can hijack this process using the following:

var sdl = Sdl.GetApi();
sdl.InitHint(...);
sdl = SdlProvider.SDL.Value;

Though I agree this shouldn't really be necessary.

Really we need to update our Android binaries.

Thanks for the info.
The code doesn't work (the InitHint method is for Glfw, not the android code).
Sdl.GetApi() does have a SetHint, but unfortunately there's no effect, but it might not be possible to set anyway since the creation and init seems to be within SDLActivity.onCreate.

If you haven't rebuilt the Android binary, then that would make sense that it's not actually running the new checks (since the changed logic check is within SDLActivity.java).

Would be nice to have a new binary with this change, if not, then please close this as unplanned.
