Android applications use MainActivity : Org.Libsdl.App.SDLActivity, override GetLibraries(), and run SDL from the managed Main() override.

Example

using SDL3;

namespace CreateWindow;

internal static class Program
{
    [STAThread]
    private static void Main()
    {
        if (!SDL.Init(SDL.InitFlags.Video))
        {
            SDL.LogError(SDL.LogCategory.System, $"SDL could not initialize: {SDL.GetError()}");
            return;
        }

        if (!SDL.CreateWindowAndRenderer("SDL3 Create Window", 800, 600, 0, out var window, out var renderer))
        {
            SDL.LogError(SDL.LogCategory.Application, $"Error creating window and renderer: {SDL.GetError()}");
            return;
        }

        SDL.SetRenderDrawColor(renderer, 100, 149, 237, 255);
        SDL.RenderClear(renderer);
        SDL.RenderPresent(renderer);

        SDL.DestroyRenderer(renderer);
        SDL.DestroyWindow(window);
        SDL.Quit();
    }
}
