  1. POPassing GLSurfaceView context to a thread
    text
    copied!<p>I want my GL Renderer to be set to "DIRTY" and use a thread to control the FPS but for some reason the <code>requestRender</code> call seems to be skipped over all together. I have a feeling this could be something to do with the thread not getting the proper context. Does anybody know good practice for passing <code>GLSurfaceView</code> context to other threads?</p> <p>Here is my thread:</p> <pre><code>public class GameLoop extends Thread { private GLSurfaceView myGLSurfaceView; private final static int maxFPS = 30; private final static int maxFrameSkips = 5; private final static int framePeriod = 1000 / maxFPS; public static boolean running; public final static String TAG = "input"; public GameLoop(){ myGLSurfaceView = MyLaunchActivity.getMyGLSurfaceView(); } @Override public void run() { running = MyLaunchActivity.getRunning(); long beginTime; long timeDiff; int sleepTime; int framesSkipped; sleepTime = 0; while (running) { running = MyLaunchActivity.getRunning(); //Log.d(TAG, "gameRunning"); beginTime = System.currentTimeMillis(); framesSkipped = 0; GameLogic.update(); myGLSurfaceView.requestRender(); //Log.d(TAG, "rendered"); timeDiff = System.currentTimeMillis() - beginTime; sleepTime = (int)(framePeriod - timeDiff); if (sleepTime &gt; 0) { try{ Thread.sleep(sleepTime); //Log.d(TAG, "sleeping" + String.valueOf(sleepTime)); }catch(InterruptedException e){} } while(sleepTime &lt; 0 &amp;&amp; framesSkipped &lt; maxFrameSkips){ GameLogic.update(); sleepTime += framePeriod; framesSkipped++; Log.d(TAG, "Frames Skipped"); } } } } </code></pre> <p>And here is the constructor for my surface view ...</p> <pre><code> public MyGLSurfaceView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs){ super(context, attrs); myGLSurfaceRenderer = new MyGLSurfaceRenderer(); setRenderer(myGLSurfaceRenderer); setRenderMode(GLSurfaceView.RENDERMODE_WHEN_DIRTY); Log.d(TAG, "GLSurfaceViewed"); } </code></pre>
