as there's a GLSurfaceView in use, no other views receive any KeyEvents. MotionEvents however, are still working as expected. Is there a way to prevent GLSurfaceView from swallowing all KeyEvents?

I am currently porting a 3D app on Android. This app consists of a 3D view (embedded in a GLSurfaceView) and of menu screens (for settings, search , etc.).
My main activity is the one containing the GLSurfaceView. It's always the root of it's task. The problem is that my GLSurface gets destroyed whenever I launch another activity and all the GL objects (VBOs, textures) that I created in the GL context get deleted/invalidated along. So whenever my users go in the menu, the 3D scene has to be fully reloaded. Wouldn't there be a way to prevent the surface's destruction ?
I'm trying to create an activity which would be on top of other activities (a small dialog themed activity) and I want to get ALL key events to be ignored by my activity and handled normally by the activity beneath it. When I say all I mean the send, end and back keys too. Is this possible?I've tried setFocusable(false), setting the flag FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE, and adding a dummy onKeyListener but nothing doesn't seem to do the trick.

In other words : Is it possible to handle the KeyEvents in the Service?
I decided to start pipelining input to increase responsiveness in my games. Basically what I do is when the activity receives a Key or Motion event, it sends it to a feed method in the game, which encapsulates it with a time and whatever else I need and puts it in a queue then immediately returns so the UI loop is never held up waiting for long. The main loop later processes the queue, applying the events in it at the appropriate times.
This works great and makes the games snappy, although now I'm starting to miss touch events intermittently. I realized that the events could be recycled objects and that could make them not safe to queue. Is this the case or is it safe to queue them for deferred processing like I'm doing?
i want to start programming in OpenGL on Android, but Eclipse can't find the GLSurfaceView. I'm using the 1.5 SDK. Do I have to set specific entries in the build path?
View 2 Replies View RelatedFollowing the samples and examples, I've successfully been able to load a model on screen and rotate it with the DPAD keys and overriding the onKeyDown method of the GLSurfaceView. Trying to use a letter though, causes a small box to appear at the bottom accepting the text that is being typed. What I'm not entirely clear on, is since I don't have a listener defined in the main Activity, why those key letter key presses are being intercepted by some other inherent listener(?). I setup an OnKeyListener for the view to call my own method and that does work... but I'm wondering if there is perhaps a better way to handle it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am a lazybones using GLSurfaceView and loving it. But now that my code is running too darn fast (heh), I would like to slow it down via setting eglSwapInterval to 2 or something. Just to be nice to the battery. But, being a lazybones, I can find no way of doing this when using GLSurfaceView. (and hacking an early return from onDrawFrame() was very unsatisfying).

View 12 Replies View RelatedWe are developing an application that uses a GLSurfaceView to display 3D objects. We regularly get the "Application Not Responding" dialog. Inspection of the dumped threads reveals something that looks suspiciously like a deadlock. I have added the three thread dumps involved below. The first thread is the main application event thread, and it is waiting on a join with a GLThread.
The second thread is a brand new GLThread that is waiting for a semaphore lock presumably so it knows it has exclusive access to the graphics hardware. The third thread is probably a previous GLThread (the one the main thread is waiting for to finish), that is waiting to be notified. The strange thing is that the main application thread has just done a "mDone=true; notify();" prior to calling "wait()", so the third thread should have been awaken? .........................

They show that it is possible to put an GLSurfaceview on top on a SurfaceView. I hope it would be useful.
I'm using GLSurfaceView to create a simple OpenGL drawing application. Since the elements drawn in each frame must remain on screen in order to be composed into the whole drawing, I don't use gl.glClear(GL10.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT) at the beginning of each frame. But not clearing the color buffer leads to substantial flickering. Is there any way to eliminate flickering while still not clearing the screen at the beginning of each frame?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am able to get a GLSurfaceView to have a transparent background with:
CODE:............
when I set the Activity's window background to transparent and the GLSurfaceView is the contentView of the Activity.
But, let's say my GLSurfaceview is parented by a ViewGroup and I want GLSurfaceView bg to be transparent to see the Viewgroup's background - I am not able to do so with the code above. Is this a limitation or am I missing something?
I have an application that uses GLSurfaceView to draw OpenGL ES graphics. This is all working (mostly) how I would expect.
Now, I would like to implement a screenshot feature. For normal views, it seems that the standard practice is to create a new Canvas with a Bitmap and then draw to that Canvas using View.onDraw(Canvas).
I've tried using SurfaceView.draw(Canvas) in a similar fashion, but it always results in a blank (black) image.
I've also tried using the drawing cache with the exact same result.

View 4 Replies View Relatedwhat puzzle me so much is that i can't destroy a GLSurfaceView while i don't want to exit the activity.
the fact is when i destroy a GLSurfaceView which had show in the screen (that means it has binded to the activity's SurfaceHolder), the activity exits without any prompting. Perhaps ,the Context which provided in the Construction of GLSurfaceView joins the two things together. so my conclusion is that a GLSurfaceView can only be destroyed when exit the activity. is there anyway to destroy a GLSurfaceView without exit activity? is there someone can provide a clue?
Having a little trouble working out how to have a context menu working in my GLSurfaceView view. There doesn't seem to be a "onCreateOptionsMenu" or "onOptionsItemSelected" to override. I do notice a "setOnCreateContextMenuListener" but I don't know how to use it.
View 5 Replies View RelatedThe Emulator draws line widths VERY incorrectly in OpenGL (GLSurfaceView). See http://www.flickr.com/photos/53002505@N03 for a comparison of the lines drawn correctly (in JOGL) and incorrectly in the emulator. The code also draws correctly on a real device (G1) - looks just like the JOGL screen shot. I believe this is a bug. However, I'm not an OpenGL GURU. Hence I have posted a concise version of the code to demonstrate this problem at at http://gist.github.com/523955 and http://gist.github.com/523961. I hope I am proven wrong about a bug in the emulator, and can find a way to use the emulator for what I want to do.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an application that receives information from a database, and is used to visualize 2D bitmaps onto a GLSurfaceView. The information received will determine the x-position of the bitmap, and which bitmap image to use (there are 4 different bitmaps in my res folder to choose from).
Below are the three classes that are being used. The Activity sets the Shapes objects that need to be drawn by passing an ArrayList to the GLLayer class. This ArrayList is passed to the instance of ShapeStorage class via another setList method. This class is responsible for drawing when they are received.
The problem that I'm having is the following. Suppose I receive one object (let's say that it's a square at it's located at x=1). Some time goes by, and I receive another shape (this time, it's a triangle, and it's located at x=-1). However, when this new shape appears on the screen, the old bitmap's appearance changes to a triangle, and the new one becomes a square. In other words, the objects themselves are at the correct position that they are supposed to be at, but the bitmap being associated with them has changed. Does anyone know what the possible cause of this can be? I'm still a newbie to OpenGL-ES, and while this code looks very convoluted, it just involves setting a bunch of various properties for the View. code...
In a nutshell, I use regular views for all my application except for on that uses a GLSurfaceView.
The UI flow works well. I can navigate form one to the over except whith the GLSurfaceView
When I open the first time the GLSurfaceView everything works fine, but when I switch to another view and come back (pause menu) my view is completly black...
I tried several things and the closest I got from fixing it is to recreate the GLSurfaceView completly (but that takes too much time ...)
What I want is be able to do this:

what I'm doing wrong or point me to a tutorial that explain how to swap form GLViews to regular views
