On Android the exit logic goes through `Godot#onDestroy()` who attempts to cleanup the engine using the following code:
```
runOnRenderThread {
GodotLib.ondestroy()
forceQuit()
}
```
The issue however is that by the time we ran this code, the render thread has already been paused (but not yet destroyed), and thus `GodotLib.ondestroy()` and `forceQuit()` which are scheduled on the render thread are not executed.
To address this, we instead explicitly request the render thread to exit and block until it does. As part of it exit logic, the render thread has been updated to properly destroy and clean the native instance of the Godot engine, resolving the issue.
- Add support for dispatching input on the render thread (UI thread is the current default) when `input_buffering` and `accumulated_input` are disabled. At the expense of latency, this helps prevent 'heavy' applications / games from blocking the UI thread (the default behavior) which may cause the application to ANR.
- Remove GLSurfaceView logic causing the UI thread to wait on the GL thread during lifecycle events. The removed logic would cause the UI thread to ANR when the GL thread is blocked.
- Update Android gradle plugin version from 7.2.1 to 8.2.0
- Update gradle version from 7.4.2 to 8.2
- Update target SDK from 33 to 34
- Update build tools version from 33.0.2 to 34.0.0
- Update kotlin version from 1.7.0 to 1.9.20
- Update Android fragment version from 1.3.6 to 1.6.2
- Update AndroidX window version from 1.0.0 to 1.2.0
The feature was added in Godot 4.2, but it goes against recommended best practices for permissions request, as such it's being reverted.
In its place, developers now have to explicitly request the permissions they need to access.
Decouples the Godot java entry point from the Android Fragment component. This enables the Godot component to be more easily reused across different types of Android components including Activities and Services.
The follow options were added to the (new) `run/window_placement/android_window` editor setting:
- `Same as Editor`: run the project in the same window as the editor
- `Side-by-side with Editor`: run the project in an adjacent window to the editor
- `Auto`: choose how to run the project based on the device screen size
Move the benchmarking measuring methods from `Engine` to `OS` to allow for platform specific overrides (e.g: can be used to hook into platform specific benchmarking and tracing capabilities).
This addresses issues where some drivers are reporting they don't meet the vulkan hardware level 1 support requirements even though they render as expected when the check is removed.
The issue was caused because the running game pid was not set, and thus had a value of `0`. When trying to stop the running game, the `EditorRun::stop()` logic would kill the process with pid 0, which on Android corresponds to the running app's own process, thus causing the editor to crash.
This issue did not happen on Godot 3 because pid with value of `0` are not considered valid.
As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
Add necessary build flags and switch from using a
GLES2 context to a GLES3 one.
This also enables building for OpenXR

This was done by refactoring directory and file access handling for the Android platform so that any general filesystem access type go through the Android layer.
This allows us to validate whether the access is unrestricted, or whether it falls under scoped storage and thus act appropriately.
- Using a bucketized approach to select the editor scale in order to avoid too high values
- Add default app dimensions: used on Android devices with free floating app windows to set the default app frame
- Add ability to launch the Game window in an adjacent frame when in multi window mode
These set of changes focus primarily on getting the core logic and overall Godot Editor UI and functionality up and running natively on Android devices.
UI tweaks / cleanup / polish, as well configuration for Android specific functionality / restrictions will be addressed in follow-up PRs iteratively based on feedback.
