Fixed bug 3605 - Software renderer no longer renders after Android screen orientation change

Sylvain

This still happens with the current trunk version.  (software renderer of testdrawchessboard.c)

When there is a rotation, the window size changed and the internal surface is marked as "surface_valid == SDL_FALSE".
And all further call fails.

SDL_video.c :

2478 void
2479 SDL_OnWindowResized(SDL_Window * window)
2480 {
2481     window->surface_valid = SDL_FALSE;
2482     SDL_SendWindowEvent(window, SDL_WINDOWEVENT_SIZE_CHANGED, window->w, window->h);
2483 }

some error set to :
2233         return SDL_SetError("Window surface is invalid, please call SDL_GetWindowSurface() to get a new surface");


So, this seems to be the behavior of the API ...


In the loop() function of testdrawchessboard.c, we can recreate the surface/renderer :

 65        if (e.type == SDL_WINDOWEVENT)
 66        {
 67             if (e.window.event == SDL_WINDOWEVENT_SIZE_CHANGED)
 68             {
 69                surface = SDL_GetWindowSurface(window);
 70                renderer = SDL_CreateSoftwareRenderer(surface);
 71             }
 72             /* Clear the rendering surface with the specified color */
 73             SDL_SetRenderDrawColor(renderer, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF);
 74             SDL_RenderClear(renderer);
 75        }

And it displays correctly.
