Error compiling to Android with cargo apk #1307

[Kaiser1989]

• Tested on all platforms changed
• Compilation warnings were addressed
• cargo fmt has been run on this branch
• cargo doc builds successfully
• Added an entry to CHANGELOG.md if knowledge of this change could be valuable to users
• Updated documentation to reflect any user-facing changes, including notes of platform-specific behavior
• Created or updated an example program if it would help users understand this functionality

This merge request addresses the endless unresolved build errors when trying to compile with cargo apk for android.
#1307

There is an open merge request on winit crate:
rust-windowing/winit#2118

If that request is merged, we can finally resolve this bug. But before merging, we need to adjust the winit version in cargo toml. I just want to created this request to address this also on winit side.

Working examples with both fixes can be found here:

Any updates on this?

Thanks for working on reviving Android support! Unfortunately this PR is only commenting out non-compiling code instead of actively fixing the issue at hand.

#1398 is a first - approved - stab at resolving compiler errors, and I have some work queued up that addresses the remainder of event issues with newer winit, to be submitted after that PR is merged. As such there's no need for this PR anymore, but I hope you'll stick around to test the upcoming changes!
