Android : How To Test OpenGL
Aug 1, 2010
After a frustrating day of having the Emulator render lines strangely, and then discovering that my G1 renders them exactly as I expect, I am left to wonder how to test OpenGL (using GLSurfaceView).
Is the emulator sufficient to test code for correctness? I ask because I experienced the following on the emulator, but not on the G1, all using Ortho projection.
1) Line width depending on length! I drew a series of lines, most fairly short but several with endpoints close to the edge of the fixed- point number range. The long lines were rendered as wide. The short lines were rendered as 1 pixel wide.
2) Lines exploding to fill the whole screen when not appropriate to the scale (double the scale, line goes from 1/10th screen width to filling screen (or more).
3) Lines not appearing at all if horizontal.
Is the emulator a correct openGL implementation? If I see problems on the emulator, am I likely to see them on some hardware platforms?
Can I use my G1 as a reference platform?
Or do I need a whole slew of phones to verify that an openGl app (scientific graphics, not animated) works across all platforms?

Once again I'm trying to get into openGL, but as usual I choke when passing around vertices/vertixes/whatever and every little detail can lead to disaster (wrong format, initialization not properly set up, where memory are saved, etc.).
My main goal is to use openGL for 2D graphics to speed up performance compared to regular cpu drawing.
Anyways, my openGL Renderer looks like this code...
With an IndexOutOfBoundsException, but I'm sure there are more problems with the code.

Single Threaded OpenGL game ! (check bottom, you can download and use the helper class) Lighting disabled ! Depth Buffer disabled ! Culling enabled ! Textures disabled !
Just 176 integers (x,y values only) making 88 vertexes along with 132 index numbers making "44 triangles only"
Framerates I get is
with GL_BLENDING disabled - 145 fps approx only! enabled - 110 fps approx only!
I have the screenshot of exact code in the draw function here.. just 2 damn lines ! I have hidden only the comments.. click here to see it http://prasna991.googlepages.com/drawframe.png
variable details in the 2 lines of code =========================== ipts = 176 elements (only x and y for each vertex) totallinetriangles * 3 = 176 lineindexes = 132 elements - type "short"
Here is the screenshot of output drawing and how it will look like http://prasna991.googlepages.com/screen.png
OpenGL single threaded Initialization Helper ================================ Here is my OpenGL helper class.. makes the OpenGL initialization for newbies a cakewalk http://prasna991.googlepages.com/OpenGLHelperclass.txt
I tested by rendering on the touch event only.. frame rate drops only when u touch and drag and here I have just tested by tapping and releasing gently on the emulator and on the device
Is this the device limitations ? So graphics is actually a lot lot lot slower than on iPhone ?

I would like to be able to use the OpenGL API from both Java and C (via NDK).
In Java, there is a GL object passed, which has all GL methods on it.
In C, you just talk to the native library.
In a single onDrawFrame callback (for which Java is passed a GL), can I use methods on the GL object, and also call NDK methods which access the openGL library?
In other words, is the GL object just a wrapper for the same instance of the native library?

I'm writing an Android JUnit test and want to copy/reset a test fixture file (it's an SQLite database file.) If I were within the main application, I know I could just place the file in the assets directory and use getResources().getAssets().open(sourceFile).However, this API appears to be unavailable from the ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2 class.Is there an easy way to copy a file over from the testing PC, or should I just keep a fresh copy of a test fixture on the device and copy it over a temporary file?

I am using ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2 to do some test for an activity. I get a button in the setUp() method like this: protected void setUp() throws Exception {super.setUp(); act = getActivity(); btn = Button)act.find ViewById ( R.id.bike_button ); // this button has been defined in layout} Then I use this button to perform a click in a test method like this: public void testBikeButton(){ //click the bike button btn.performClick();}

I have never used JUnit before, and now I'm trying to set it up on an Android project.My project under test is fairly complex, including some JNI, but my test project, at the moment, is completely trivial. I have found many examples (that look totally different) online of how to make a test project, but it seems that no matter which one I follow, I get the same results.Here's my JUnit project code:package com.mycompany.myproject.test;
import android.test.AndroidTestCase;public class SimpleTestCaseExample extends Android TestCase {public void test_testOne() {fail("Just Always Fail");When I run, I see the following in Logcat:
stdout INSTRUMENTATION_STATUS: numtests=2
stdout INSTRUMENTATION_STATUS: test=test_testOne
stdout INSTRUMENTATION_STATUS_CODE: 0
stdout INSTRUMENTATION_STATUS: id=InstrumentationTestRunner
stdout INSTRUMENTATION_STATUS: current=2
stdout INSTRUMENTATION_STATUS: class=com.mycompany.myproject.test.SimpleTestCaseExample
stdout INSTRUMENTATION_STATUS: stream=
stdout INSTRUMENTATION_STATUS: numtests=2
stdout INSTRUMENTATION_STATUS: test=testAndroidTestCaseSetupProperly
stdout INSTRUMENTATION_STATUS_CODE: 1
stdout INSTRUMENTATION_STATUS: id=InstrumentationTestRunner
stdout INSTRUMENTATION_STATUS: current=2
stdout INSTRUMENTATION_STATUS: class=com.mycompany.myproject.test.SimpleTestCaseExample
stdout INSTRUMENTATION_STATUS: stream=.
stdout INSTRUMENTATION_STATUS: numtests=2
stdout INSTRUMENTATION_STATUS: test=testAndroidTestCaseSetupProperly
stdout INSTRUMENTATION_STATUS_CODE: 0
stdout INSTRUMENTATION_RESULT: stream=
stdout Test results for InstrumentationTestRunner=..
stdout Time: 0.07
stdout OK (2 tests)
stdout INSTRUMENTATION_CODE: -1
But, I get the following in the Console:Launching instrumentation android.test. Instrumentation TestRunner on device emulator-5554 Collecting test information Test run failed: No test results I have tried a variety of different things, messing with the basic TestCase class, or the TestSuite class, or a variety of other options. I tried to just go for the most trivial example because I'm really still trying to learn how this works.Whatever I try, I see this error.

I'm working on a school project and I'm researching testing possibilities for Android applications. On this page: http: // developer . android . com/ resources / tutorials /testing /hello android. Google writes about a unit test. Is this really a unit test? A Unit test will not integrate all classes and will not test in his context. So my opinion is it is not a Unit Test but an Integration Test.

I have a project (that compiles and runs in the emulator.) I have a test project that tests part of this project. This test project also compiles with no problems, but when I try to run (test) it in the emulator, I get a NoClassDefFoundError exception on one of the classes my test class tests (I hope that made sense!) when it starts to run in the emulator. This is coming out of the adb log. I looked in the bin directory (of the test project) for the missing class, but could not find it... Should it be there? I found no reference (apk, etc) of the project I am trying to test either in the test projects bin directory. How does the test project get the classes it needs to test against (in the classpath, I assume.) How do the tested classes get moved to the emulator? I did try running the app before testing, so I know it is installed and runs correctly. BTW, I am using netbeans with the nbandroid plugin.

I am working on developing a 3d game. I have loaded ms3d model in my project and all texture and everything is working fine. I m not loading any joints.But I am facing two major problems which indeed are related to one thing. 1: I have got FPS problem in my game.Its too low even on G1. 2: When I have touch event to control the game it affects the FPSmore. So plz let me know how to optimize it more because the same game with same code of opengl es is wokring at 45 FPS on Iphone So why its running slow on G1.What is opengl es benchmark for G1 ? Wat can be comparison btwn Iphone and G1 related to hardware acceleration?

Been working with OpenGL a little more recently, and have been noticing pretty bad performance on my G1. Were there any major changes to OpenGL in 1.6 that would change the performance (or made my code incorrect?) on device? As a test, I grabbed the SpriteMethodTest out of Apps-For-Android, and gave it a spin. I had run it a few months ago and noticed pretty decent performance. With a low number of sprites (10-100), every method (Verts, Hardware VBO's, and DrawTex) had easily over 30fps, with drawTex beating out the others. I fired it up on my G1 (recently updated to 1.6), and all 3 methods are giving me performance of around 10-12fps with all methods of OpenGL at 10 sprites. Just for fun, installed the exact same APK on my girlfriends phone, which has yet to be updated to 1.6, and hers shows what I expected to start with, 30-60fps depending on method. So the question is, did anything change in terms of OpenGL, that would make the example code in SpriteMethodTest less than optimal?

I'm developing a new game and have been having inconsistencies between the device and emulator. The biggest one for me right now is that the elements I draw with an orthographic projection work correctly on the device, but are 1/2 the size on the emulator. I've checked and rechecked the code 100 times and I'm positive I've done it right but am confused as to why I'm seeing that result. I suppose I could go forward doing ALL testing on a device - and I may have to, seeing that the emulator's frame rate is horribly slow - but I was hoping that I could do some of the work on it at least.

I am currently trying to develop a game for android in OpenGL ES and I am testing it on my Nexus One. But I have run into some performance problems,and I would like to ask somebody about it,could you help?I currently have a very basic scene - background made of 25 tiles(256x256 texture each), and then a number of textured cubes(128x128 texture for each side of a cube ). However,when I try to display approx. more than 10 cubes, the performance becomes so sluggish that I can't even rotate the scene smoothly. I can't imagine how can I add more objects(player,enemies, all that kind of stuff) when it runs so slowly with 35 objects in total. I mean - games like Raging Thunder 2 probably display hundreds of objects at once(plus they do lots of computations behind the scenes) and they run super- smooth on my nexus one. What am I doing wrong? Could somebody help me please?

I am learning Android development, specifically to eventually do OpengL 2.0 ES on it. So far I have read that the NDK supports Opengl 2.0 ES. However, is there also a Java API for it? If there is a Java API for it, which one is recommended? I know both C++ and Java, so it is not a big deal if I have to use the NDK, but I would prefer to work only in Java if possible and without a big performance hit.

I am rendering this PNG with no transparency just fine: http://n4te.com/temp/test.png However if I try to render this PNG (with transparency) with the exact same code, I just get a white box: http://n4te.com/temp/ball.png
I am loading the PNG into a texture like this: Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input); int[] temp = new int[1]; gl.glGenTextures(1, temp, 0); textureID = temp[0]; gl.glBindTexture(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, textureID); gl.glTexParameterf(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL10.GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL10.GL_NEAREST); gl.glTexParameterf(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL10.GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL10.GL_NEAREST); // GL_LINEAR for quality. gl.glTexParameterf(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL10.GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL10.GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE); gl.glTexParameterf(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL10.GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL10.GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE); GLUtils.texImage2D(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, bitmap, 0); bitmap.recycle();
I am using this blending: gl.glBlendFunc(GL10.GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL10.GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA); How is it possible to render a PNG with transparency in OpenGL ES?

I'm porting over some software from the iPhone, and the fact that I need to use ByteBuffers for my data structures in order to use OpenGL is killing me. My render loop takes 3ms to actually do the work and render screen, but I do need to perform a ByteBuffer clear / repopulate to update a dynamic texture. The bytebuffer clear, followed by the put() and position(0) to prepare for texture uploading takes about 100ms. This is WAY too slow. Is there a way around using ByteBuffers other than going the NDK route? The texture is 512x256 RGBA. should the ByteBuffer .clear() .put() and .position() be taking 100ms?

I'm having problems with gluUnProject. I saw other discussions on this message base regarding this function and they did not solve my problem. When I use GLU.gluUnProject I get values that are close, but not quite right. I'm manually keeping track of my model matrix and I replicate the projection matrix manually. (I have also tried setting the projection matrix to identity and manually incorporating a projection matrix into my model matrix, and I ended up with the same results). I tried using the builtin GLU.gluUnProject function and I also implemented my own based on reading that source and reading the C GLU sources and both seemed to give substantially similar results. So I put together a small demo, trying to keep it as minimal as possible and still get the point across. Either this demo shows a misunderstanding I have of gluUnProject or it shows a bug in the function or opengl projections. Can someone check this over and see if I'm just doing something wrong or if there's a bug that needs to be filed? The files are here: http://www.thenewsh.com/~newsham/unproj/ In particular:
unproj.java - full source to example unproj-debug.apk - resulting apk file unproj - directory with full ant-buildable project unproj.zip - zip of directory

I'm making a media player application in android where one part of my screen has a animation which is made in OpenGL (ofcourse with Android/JAVA).....So my screen consists of 2 parts:
1) Left hand side consists of all the widgets (using xml).
2) Right hand side consists of the animation made in OpenGL.
I'm able to make the Gui (xml part) and also the animation (opengl). Can i integrate the GUI made in XML file with the animation (made using GLSurfaceview)?

I looked around for info on this in the group but couldn't find any... so far in my OpenGL programming I've just done everything directly, but I was curious if anyone had written any "wrapper" libraries for it besides min3d. Min3d is great (or is getting there) but it's GPL'd, making it unsuitable for a commercial product (if my understanding of the license is correct).

Does anyone know whether the G1 device is capable of supporting OpenGL ES 1.1? Is this something that depends on both the graphics chip and the OS, or is it purely software? If Android/the G1 only supports OpenGL ES 1.0, are there any pieces of the 1.1 spec that are supported?

I'm working on an OpenGL ES game using the NDK. My min SDK version is 1.6. I have created an OpenGL Es 1.0 renderer in Java and am calling a native JNI method in that renderloop.
The problem I'm having is that it seems that the resolution of the rendering context is limited. When using the emulator I'm getting a rendering canvas of 480x320, which is fine. Now; when I use my HTC Desire I am only getting a canvas of 533x320 while the native resolution of this phone is 800x480px.
