Question:

1) Does SDL support hardware acceleration in Android Platform?

Answer 1

SDL is a bit more than a wrapper to OpenGL. It provides low-level access to input, audio and drawing to the screen.

To answer your questions:

1. SDL 2 is officially supported on Android platform and always tries to use hardware acceleration whenever possible.
2. Use SDL 2 to set up an OpenGL context and make OpenGL draw calls.
