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 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 started a small project over at google code that provides you with bindings for OpenGL ES 2.0 in Java. I started just a couple of hours ago so it's not finished yet. The project includes the original GLSurfaceView plus all the helper classes from the latest Eclair build as well as a modified version of GLJNIView from the NDK samples which is now a fully functional GLSurfaceView subclass called GLSurfaceView20.
OpenGL ES 1.x and 2.0 are exclusive so you have to first check wheter GL ES 2.0 is supported. You can check this via the following method:
private boolean checkGL20Support( Context context ) { EGL10 egl = (EGL10) EGLContext.getEGL(); EGLDisplay display = egl.eglGetDisplay(EGL10.EGL_DEFAULT_DISPLAY);
int[] version = new int[2]; egl.eglInitialize(display, version);...................
I would like to write OpenGL classes and test them in java outside of an Android device or emulator, and then use these in the Android.
Has anybody done this?: If so, are there JOGL implementations that are directly compatible?
I tried doing this on Windows using JOGL and writing wrappers, etc, but it turned out to be a real mess. I finally gave up when I didn't know how to get a GLU instance for a frustrum call.
I plan on writing a Java 3D game that will work both on PC and Android. Unfortunately it looks like there is no common OpenGL API for both platforms.Do the APIs differ significantly? Is there a way I could use the same 3D code in both versions? Is it a good idea?

I do an import of the full package name / java file, and if I do a <classname>.<method>, SOMETIMES I can get it to access - other times I get a lot of can't use a static in a non static bunch of talk. I'll admit I'm new to Java, so what do I need to do? Call a class instance first, then call my methods? I'm rather confused by this, as I want to put all of my 'functions' into a FunctionsList.java file, and all of my main Activity (UI) into a MyActivity.java file.
For example:
<MyActivity.java>
import com.example.FunctionsList;
private class MyActivity extends Activity {
FunctionsList.function();
}
9/10 times I get that static/non-static error. If I put all of my functions into MyActivity.java, I have zero problems!

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?
View 3 Replies View RelatedBeen 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.
View 15 Replies View RelatedI 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'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?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'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:

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).

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.
