I'm not the hugest fan of monogame either, to be honest, it seems to be just a low level opengl wrapper, but it does have a bunch of samples demoing basic 2D operations in the tutorials, and they export directly to .apk and run on all my devices without a problem.
I can't see any particular reason you wouldn't be able to bundle the android build of SDL into your application and use pinvoke to call bits of it. http://mono-project.com/Dllimport, but I'd avoid SDL.net; looks like it's using the old SDL 1.2, not 2.0. To be honest, if you think monogame is too heavy-weight, maybe have another look at unity; the basic graphics operations are dead easy: http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/Graphics.DrawTexture.html function OnGUI() { if(Event.current <http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/Event-current.html?from=Graphics>.type.Equals(EventType.Repaint <http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/EventType.Repaint.html?from=Graphics>)) Graphics.DrawTexture <http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/Graphics.DrawTexture.html>(Rect <http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/Rect.html>(10, 10, 100, 100), aTexture); } Add that to your monobehaviour, and you have 10 line 2D rendering; there is a similar trivial API for rendering text. It's really much of a muchness; Unity is free unless you buy the $400 android exporter; monogame is free, but you need the $400 monodroid license. *shrug* (hint; you don't have to use the stupid unity editor to compile your apps; it has a command line interface too) ~ Doug.
