Description
AndroidManifest.xml.tmpl should set configChanges to include "screenLayout" when minimum API level >= 4, and "smallScreenSize" (when minimum API level >= 13. Right now only screenSize is set, and as a result, all kivy & p4a apps appear to crash when attempting to use them in side by side / split screen mode (because the SDLActivity is shut down). Of course, some kivy apps might still break in the split screen mode simply by not having a suitable layout, but at least they won't instant crash/terminate in all cases.
Note: it seems either the p4a wrapper or the SDLActivity have some bug so the app won't properly resize the SDL window in split screen mode. However, again, as written above - this is still preferable to the app just shutting down/crashing, so I still think this should be changed even if this isn't fully investigated yet.
