GameActivity

This package provides Go bindings for the AGDK GameActivity C library.

GameActivity is an alternative to NativeActivity that provides:

• Better input event handling with motion event batching
• Text input support via GameTextInput
• Modern lifecycle management built on AppCompatActivity

Prerequisites

GameActivity headers are not part of the standard Android NDK. To use this package:

1. Download the games-activity AAR from Maven Central:

   https://maven.google.com/web/index.html#androidx.games:games-activity
   

2. Extract the AAR (it's a ZIP file) and copy the C headers from prefab/modules/game-activity/include/ to gameactivity/include/.

3. Copy the C source files from prefab/modules/game-activity/src/ to gameactivity/csrc/.

Alternatively, install the AGDK via Android Studio's SDK Manager.

Build tags

The Go source files use //go:build ignore until the AGDK headers are vendored into the include/ and csrc/ subdirectories. After vendoring, remove the build constraint to enable compilation.
