POOpenGL ES 2.0 Support for Android?
text
Body
copied!<p>I've seen multiple takes on this topic and its starting to confuse me. I really hope someone can give me a definitive answer! :)</p> <p>I guess to be blunt: does the Android emulator support OpenGL ES 2.0? I've seen some people say "Yes, but you have to change a few settings." and I've also seen "No, it doesn't support it, period." Here's what I've done to try and correct the problem, including some error messages that I got.</p> <p>First, I modified the AndroidManifest.xml to contain the following code:</p> <pre><code><uses-feature android:glEsVersion="0x00020000" /> <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="15" android:targetSdkVersion="17" /> </code></pre> <p>Then, when I want to instantiate my GLSurfaceView, I use this sequence of code to instantiate it:</p> <pre><code>super(context); setEGLContextClientVersion(2); setRenderer(new MyRenderer()); setRenderMode(GLSurfaceView.RENDERMODE_WHEN_DIRTY); </code></pre> <p>Then, everywhere I looked said that you must go into the AVD Manager, select the emulator, go to "Hardware", add "GPU emulation" and set the boolean to "yes". However, here is what I see when I look at mine:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/7ZUvi.png" alt="Screenshoot of my Android 4.2 emulator window."></p> <p>What's peculiar is that I have another emulator in my AVD Manager of which I do have the "Hardware" table:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/7TY4v.png" alt="What does my Android 2.2 emulator have the hardware table?"></p> <p>And just to show you exactly what I'm doing, here's some code that does some stuff I want to do in OpenGL ES 2.0 (I mainly got this from Android's own tutorials):</p> <pre><code>int vertexShader = loadShader(GLES20.GL_VERTEX_SHADER, vertexShaderCode); int fragmentShader = loadShader(GLES20.GL_FRAGMENT_SHADER, fragmentShaderCode); program = GLES20.glCreateProgram(); GLES20.glAttachShader(program, vertexShader); GLES20.glAttachShader(program, fragmentShader); GLES20.glLinkProgram(program); </code></pre> <p>I don't want to change my code back to work with OpenGL ES 1.0 because that will require a lot of headaches and if I can avoid it, I will.</p> <p>Finally, when I try running my program, the program closes with the window: "Unfortunately, has stopped." This is what LogCat told me:</p> <pre><code>12-05 06:16:27.165: E/AndroidRuntime(936): FATAL EXCEPTION: GLThread 81 12-05 06:16:27.165: E/AndroidRuntime(936): java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No config chosen 12-05 06:16:27.165: E/AndroidRuntime(936): at android.opengl.GLSurfaceView$BaseConfigChooser.chooseConfig(GLSurfaceView.java:874) 12-05 06:16:27.165: E/AndroidRuntime(936): at android.opengl.GLSurfaceView$EglHelper.start(GLSurfaceView.java:1024) 12-05 06:16:27.165: E/AndroidRuntime(936): at android.opengl.GLSurfaceView$GLThread.guardedRun(GLSurfaceView.java:1401) 12-05 06:16:27.165: E/AndroidRuntime(936): at android.opengl.GLSurfaceView$GLThread.run(GLSurfaceView.java:1240) </code></pre> <p>I will say I am <em>not</em> an expert on this at all and this is my first experience with OpenGL. If anybody has any ideas of what I can do to fix this, I would be forever grateful. :) Thank you!</p>
