Integrate SFML into existing Android application

[Suhair Zain]

Hi,
I tried the Android example app and it works fine. But I would like to integrate SFML into an existing Android app. i.e; I have implemented a part of the app using the Android SDK but for a specific functionality (rendering of a custom layout to be exact), I cannot go with Android SDK. Thus I decided to give SFML a try.

Is it possible that I can use SFML only for a specific portion of the app? Like, integrate it into an Activity which can be called from another Activity implemented using Android SDK(Java)? Have anyone successfully done something like that?

As far as I know, not without modifications, since the SFML app brings its own native activity you'll have to run. Don't think you can just "embed" it into some layout or view. I might be completely wrong here though, so in case anyone else want's to jump in...

This may be a little naive, but can you not just call the SFML Native Activity with an Intent?

@Mario
I'll take a look at it then. I was thinking of embedding it in a SurfaceView. I'll look for some workarounds and post here.

@dabbertorres
I wasn't clear enough in the question. To the best of my knowledge, we cannot use features of the Android SDK such as TitleBar etc in a NativeActivity. I may be completely wrong here, but I'll take a look at it and let you know.

Thanks all
