the current version of SDL 2.0 (HG) does not provide scancodes for all keys
available on Android.
Missing are all new keys added since Android API level 11.
Also it would be possible to map SDL_SCANCODE_WWW, SDL_SCANCODE_MAIL and
SDL_SCANCODE_SLASH.
Android's KEYCODE_DEL is mapped to SDL_SCANCODE_DELETE but according to
Android's documentation [1] it should be like SDL_SCANCODE_BACKSPACE.
I attached a patch with these corrections.

there is currently no way in SDL to interact with the system clipboard on
Android.
I attached a patch which tries to implement the three clipboard functions for
Android. It does not add the CLIPBOARDUPDATE event because this seems to
require Android API 11 or polling.
rather than at configure time. As OS X supports lipo'ed versions of SDL for i386
and x86_64, a single set of headers that work for both architectures is desired.

currently SDL (HG) does not implement the power management functionality of
SDL_GetPowerInfo() for Android.
I attached a patch which tries to implement this functionality (JNI only, API
5). It supports plugged state and battery percent return values but not
remaining seconds (which are not available on Android).

Looking through the code for SDL_GetPlatform(), it is obvious that the case for
Android platform doesn't exist. And hence SDL_GetPlatform() doesn't return a
useful string on Android Phones.
It's a long-dead platform, and we don't have any way to build for, test, or
maintain it, so there's no sense in doing acrobatics to support it.
If you need Windows CE support, use SDL 1.2. If you need Windows Phone support,
send SDL 2.0 patches for the newer Windows Mobile platform.

Background: X has two main 'buffers' for copy/paste:
PRIMARY -- normally used for implicit selection of text, with middle-click to
paste
CLIPBOARD -- works with an explicit copy/paste like on other platforms.
Currently SDL2 only provides access to PRIMARY. Since CLIPBOARD is much closer
to functionality of other platforms, SDL should provide access to that instead.
The attached patch makes it so that SDL_SetClipboardText() sets both PRIMARY
and CLIPBOARD and SDL_GetClipboardText() reads from CLIPBOARD instead of
primary.
