Getting Started with 3D Graphics on Android
OpenGL ES
Android supports OpenGL ES in packages android.opengl, javax.microedition.khronos.opengles and javax.microedition.khronos.egl.
GLSurfaceView
For 3D graphics programming, you need to program you own custom view, instead using XML-layout. Fortunately, a 3D OpenGL ES view called GLSurfaceView is provided, which greatly simplifies our tasks.
I shall use the Nehe's Lessons (http://nehe.gamedev.net) to illustrate Android 3D programming
Example 1: Setting up OpenGL ES using GLSurfaceView (Nehe Lesson 1: Setting Up)
Create an android application called "Nehe 01", with project name "Nehe01", package name "com.test". Create a blank activity called "MyGLActivity".
The following program sets up the GLSurfaceView, and show a blank (dark green) screen.
MyGLActivity.java
package com.test; import android.app.Activity; import android.opengl.GLSurfaceView; import android.os.Bundle; /** * Our OpenGL program's main activity */ public class MyGLActivity extends Activity { private GLSurfaceView glView; // Use GLSurfaceView // Call back when the activity is started, to initialize the view @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); glView = new GLSurfaceView(this); // Allocate a GLSurfaceView glView.setRenderer(new MyGLRenderer(this)); // Use a custom renderer this.setContentView(glView); // This activity sets to GLSurfaceView } // Call back when the activity is going into the background @Override protected void onPause() { super.onPause(); glView.onPause(); } // Call back after onPause() @Override protected void onResume() { super.onResume(); glView.onResume(); } }
Dissecting MyActivity.java
We define MyActivity by extending Activity, so as to override onCreate(), onPause() and onResume(). We then override onCreate() to allocate a GLSurfaceView, set the view's renderer to a custom renderer (to be defined below), and set this activity to use the view.
MyGLRenderer.java
This is our custom OpenGL renderer class.
package com.test; import javax.microedition.khronos.egl.EGLConfig; import javax.microedition.khronos.opengles.GL10; import android.content.Context; import android.opengl.GLSurfaceView; import android.opengl.GLU; /** * OpenGL Custom renderer used with GLSurfaceView */ public class MyGLRenderer implements GLSurfaceView.Renderer { Context context; // Application's context // Constructor with global application context public MyGLRenderer(Context context) { this.context = context; } // Call back when the surface is first created or re-created @Override public void onSurfaceCreated(GL10 gl, EGLConfig config) { gl.glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f); // Set color's clear-value to black gl.glClearDepthf(1.0f); // Set depth's clear-value to farthest gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_DEPTH_TEST); // Enables depth-buffer for hidden surface removal gl.glDepthFunc(GL10.GL_LEQUAL); // The type of depth testing to do gl.glHint(GL10.GL_PERSPECTIVE_CORRECTION_HINT, GL10.GL_NICEST); // nice perspective view gl.glShadeModel(GL10.GL_SMOOTH); // Enable smooth shading of color gl.glDisable(GL10.GL_DITHER); // Disable dithering for better performance // You OpenGL|ES initialization code here // ...... } // Call back after onSurfaceCreated() or whenever the window's size changes @Override public void onSurfaceChanged(GL10 gl, int width, int height) { if (height == 0) height = 1; // To prevent divide by zero float aspect = (float)width / height; // Set the viewport (display area) to cover the entire window gl.glViewport(0, 0, width, height); // Setup perspective projection, with aspect ratio matches viewport gl.glMatrixMode(GL10.GL_PROJECTION); // Select projection matrix gl.glLoadIdentity(); // Reset projection matrix // Use perspective projection GLU.gluPerspective(gl, 45, aspect, 0.1f, 100.f); gl.glMatrixMode(GL10.GL_MODELVIEW); // Select model-view matrix gl.glLoadIdentity(); // Reset // You OpenGL|ES display re-sizing code here // ...... } // Call back to draw the current frame. @Override public void onDrawFrame(GL10 gl) { // Clear color and depth buffers using clear-value set earlier gl.glClear(GL10.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL10.GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT); // You OpenGL|ES rendering code here // ...... } }
Dissecting MyGLRenderer.java
Our custom rendering class implements interface GLSurfaceView.Renderer, which is responsible to make the OpenGL calls to render a frame. It declare 3 methods to be called back by the Android graphics sub-system upon specific GL events.
- onSurfaceCreated(GL10 gl, EGLConfig config): Called when the surface is first created or recreated. It can be used to perform one-time initialization tasks such as setting the clear-value for color and depth, enabling depth-test, etc.
- onSurfaceChanged(GL10 gl, int width, int height): Called when the surface is first displayed and after window's size changes. It is used to set the view port and projection mode.
In our OpenGL renderer, we set the Android's view port (display area) to cover the entire screen from (0,0) to (width-1, height-1):gl.glViewport(0, 0, width, height);
We also choose the perspective projection and set the projection volume, with aspect ratio matches the view port, as follows:// OpenGL uses two transformation matrices: projection matrix and model-view matrix // We select the projection matrix to setup the projection gl.glMatrixMode(GL10.GL_PROJECTION); // Select projection matrix gl.glLoadIdentity(); // Reset projection matrix // Use perspective projection with the projection volume defined by // fovy, aspect-ration, z-near and z-far GLU.gluPerspective(gl, 45, aspect, 0.1f, 100.f); // Select the model-view matrix to manipulate objects (Deselect the projection matrix) gl.glMatrixMode(GL10.GL_MODELVIEW); // Select model-view matrix gl.glLoadIdentity(); // Reset
- onDrawFrame(GL10 gl): Called to draw the current frame. You OpenGL rendering codes here.
In our OpenGL renderer, We clear the color and depth buffers (using the clear-values set viaglClear*earlier).gl.glClear(GL10.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL10.GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
In the Activity class, we construct a custom renderer, and use setRenderer() to set it for the view:
glView = new GLSurfaceView(this); // Allocate a GLSurfaceView glView.setRenderer(new MyGLRenderer()); // Set the renderer for the view
Run the program. You shall see a blank screen.
Example 2: Drawing 2D Shapes (Nehe Lesson 2: Your First Polygon)
Let us get started by drawing 2D polygons as illustrated (Push Ctrl-F11 to switch the emulator in landscape orientation):
Create an android application called "Nehe 02", with project name "Nehe02", package name "com.test". Create a blank activity called "MyGLActivity".
Triangle.java
We first define a class called Triangle.
package com.test; import java.nio.ByteBuffer; import java.nio.ByteOrder; import java.nio.FloatBuffer; import javax.microedition.khronos.opengles.GL10; /* * A triangle with 3 vertices. */ public class Triangle { private FloatBuffer vertexBuffer; // Buffer for vertex-array private ByteBuffer indexBuffer; // Buffer for index-array private float[] vertices = { // Vertices of the triangle 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, // 0. top -1.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f, // 1. left-bottom 1.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f // 2. right-bottom }; private byte[] indices = { 0, 1, 2 }; // Indices to above vertices (in CCW) // Constructor - Setup the data-array buffers public Triangle() { // Setup vertex-array buffer. Vertices in float. A float has 4 bytes. ByteBuffer vbb = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(vertices.length * 4); vbb.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder()); // Use native byte order vertexBuffer = vbb.asFloatBuffer(); // Convert byte buffer to float vertexBuffer.put(vertices); // Copy data into buffer vertexBuffer.position(0); // Rewind // Setup index-array buffer. Indices in byte. indexBuffer = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(indices.length); indexBuffer.put(indices); indexBuffer.position(0); } // Render this shape public void draw(GL10 gl) { // Enable vertex-array and define the buffers gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY); gl.glVertexPointer(3, GL10.GL_FLOAT, 0, vertexBuffer); // Draw the primitives via index-array gl.glDrawElements(GL10.GL_TRIANGLES, indices.length, GL10.GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, indexBuffer); gl.glDisableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY); } }
Dissecting Triangle.java
In OpenGL ES, you cannot define individual vertex via glVertex command (this command is not supported in ES due to inefficiency). Instead, you have to use a vertex array to define a group of vertices. This is done in two steps:
- We first define the (x, y, z) location of the vertices in a Java array:
private float[] vertices = { // Vertices of the triangle 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, // 0. top -1.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f, // 1. left-bottom 1.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f // 2. right-bottom }; - We then allocate the vertex-array buffer, and transfer the data into the buffer. We use nio's buffer because they are placed on the native heap and are not garbage-collected.
private FloatBuffer vertexBuffer; ...... // Allocate a raw byte buffer. A float has 4 bytes ByteBuffer vbb = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(vertices.length * 4); // Need to use native byte order vbb.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder()); // Convert the byte buffer into float buffer vertexBuffer = vbb.asFloatBuffer(); // Transfer the data into the buffer vertexBuffer.put(vertices); // Rewind vertexBuffer.position(0);
To render from the vertex-array, we need to enable client-state vertex-array:
gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
We can then use method glDrawArrays() to render from the vertex array directly, or glDrawElements() to render via an index array.
In the above example, we set up an index array, which indexes into the vertex array (and its associated color array), as follows. Take note that the vertices are arranged in counter-clockwise (CCW) manner, with normal pointing out of the screen (or positive z-direction).
private ByteBuffer indexBuffer;
......
byte[] indices = { 0, 1, 2 }; // CCW
......
indexBuffer = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(indices.length); // Allocate raw byte buffer
indexBuffer.put(indices); // Transfer data into buffer
indexBuffer.position(0); // rewind
We render the triangle in the draw() method, with the following steps:
- We first enable vertex-array client states.
gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
- We then specify the location of the buffers via:
gl.glVertexPointer(3, GL10.GL_FLOAT, 0, vertexBuffer); // gl*Pointer(int size, int type, int stride, Buffer pointer) // size: number of coordinates per vertex (must be 2, 3, or 4). // type: data type of vertex coordinate, GL_BYTE, GL_SHORT, GL_FIXED, or GL_FLOAT // stride: the byte offset between consecutive vertices. 0 for tightly packed. - Finally, we render the primitives using glDrawElements(), which uses the index array to reference the vertex and color arrays.
gl.glDrawElements(GL10.GL_TRIANGLES, numIndices, GL10.GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, indexBuffer); // glDrawElements(int mode, int count, int type, Buffer indices) // mode: GL_POINTS, GL_LINE_STRIP, GL_LINE_LOOP, GL_LINES, GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, GL_TRIANGLE_FAN, or GL_TRIANGLES // count: the number of elements to be rendered. // type: data-type of indices (must be GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE or GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT). // indices: pointer to the index array. gl.glDisableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
Square.java
Similarly, let's define a quad. Take note that OpenGL ES does not support quad as a primitive. We need to draw two triangles instead. We shall use the same color for all the vertices of the quad. The color can be set via glColor.
package com.test; import java.nio.ByteBuffer; import java.nio.ByteOrder; import java.nio.FloatBuffer; import javax.microedition.khronos.opengles.GL10; /* * A square drawn in 2 triangles (using TRIANGLE_STRIP). */ public class Square { private FloatBuffer vertexBuffer; // Buffer for vertex-array private float[] vertices = { // Vertices for the square -1.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f, // 0. left-bottom 1.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f, // 1. right-bottom -1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, // 2. left-top 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f // 3. right-top }; // Constructor - Setup the vertex buffer public Square() { // Setup vertex array buffer. Vertices in float. A float has 4 bytes ByteBuffer vbb = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(vertices.length * 4); vbb.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder()); // Use native byte order vertexBuffer = vbb.asFloatBuffer(); // Convert from byte to float vertexBuffer.put(vertices); // Copy data into buffer vertexBuffer.position(0); // Rewind } // Render the shape public void draw(GL10 gl) { // Enable vertex-array and define its buffer gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY); gl.glVertexPointer(3, GL10.GL_FLOAT, 0, vertexBuffer); // Draw the primitives from the vertex-array directly gl.glDrawArrays(GL10.GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, vertices.length / 3); gl.glDisableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY); } }
Dissecting Square.java
OpenGL ES 1.0 does not support quad as primitive. We shall draw a quad using TRIANGLE_STRIP, composing of 2 triangles v0v1v2 and v2v1v3, in counter-clockwise orientation.
For the triangle, we use glDrawElements() which uses an index array to reference the vertex and color array. For the quad, we shall use glDrawArrays() to directly render from the vertex-array, as follows:
gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY); // Enable vertex array gl.glVertexPointer(3, GL10.GL_FLOAT, 0, vertexBuffer); // Set the location of vertex array gl.glDrawArrays(GL10.GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, numVertices); // glDrawArrays(int mode, int first, int count) // mode: GL_POINTS, GL_LINE_STRIP, GL_LINE_LOOP, GL_LINES, GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, GL_TRIANGLE_FAN, or GL_TRIANGLES // first: the starting index in the enabled arrays. // count: the number of indices to be rendered. gl.glDisableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
GL Renderer
Now, modify the renderer to draw the triangle and quad.
package com.test;
import javax.microedition.khronos.egl.EGLConfig;
import javax.microedition.khronos.opengles.GL10;
import android.content.Context;
import android.opengl.GLSurfaceView;
import android.opengl.GLU;
public class MyGLRenderer implements GLSurfaceView.Renderer {
Triangle triangle; // ( NEW )
Square quad; // ( NEW )
// Constructor
public MyGLRenderer(Context context) {
// Set up the data-array buffers for these shapes ( NEW )
triangle = new Triangle(); // ( NEW )
quad = new Square(); // ( NEW )
}
// Call back when the surface is first created or re-created.
@Override
public void onSurfaceCreated(GL10 gl, EGLConfig config) {
// NO CHANGE - SKIP
......
}
// Call back after onSurfaceCreated() or whenever the window's size changes.
@Override
public void onSurfaceChanged(GL10 gl, int width, int height) {
// NO CHANGE - SKIP
......
}
// Call back to draw the current frame.
@Override
public void onDrawFrame(GL10 gl) {
// Clear color and depth buffers using clear-values set earlier
gl.glClear(GL10.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL10.GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
gl.glLoadIdentity(); // Reset model-view matrix ( NEW )
gl.glTranslatef(-1.5f, 0.0f, -6.0f); // Translate left and into the screen ( NEW )
triangle.draw(gl); // Draw triangle ( NEW )
// Translate right, relative to the previous translation ( NEW )
gl.glTranslatef(3.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
quad.draw(gl); // Draw quad ( NEW )
}
}
We run the shapes' setup codes in the renderer's constructor, as they only have to run once. We invoke the shapes' draw() in renderer's onDrawFrame() which renders the shapes upon each frame refresh.
GL Activity
There is no change to the Activity codes in MyGLActivity.
Example 3: Color (Nehe Lesson 3: Color)
Triangle.java
Modify the triangle.java as follow:
package com.test; import java.nio.ByteBuffer; import java.nio.ByteOrder; import java.nio.FloatBuffer; import javax.microedition.khronos.opengles.GL10; /* * A triangle with 3 vertices. Each vertex has its own color. */ public class Triangle { private FloatBuffer vertexBuffer; // Buffer for vertex-array private FloatBuffer colorBuffer; // Buffer for color-array (NEW) private ByteBuffer indexBuffer; // Buffer for index-array private float[] vertices = { // Vertices of the triangle 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, // 0. top -1.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f, // 1. left-bottom 1.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f // 2. right-bottom }; private byte[] indices = { 0, 1, 2 }; // Indices to above vertices (in CCW) private float[] colors = { // Colors for the vertices (NEW) 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, // Red (NEW) 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, // Green (NEW) 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f // Blue (NEW) }; // Constructor - Setup the data-array buffers public Triangle() { // Setup vertex-array buffer. Vertices in float. A float has 4 bytes ByteBuffer vbb = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(vertices.length * 4); vbb.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder()); // Use native byte order vertexBuffer = vbb.asFloatBuffer(); // Convert byte buffer to float vertexBuffer.put(vertices); // Copy data into buffer vertexBuffer.position(0); // Rewind // Setup color-array buffer. Colors in float. A float has 4 bytes (NEW) ByteBuffer cbb = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(colors.length * 4); cbb.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder()); // Use native byte order (NEW) colorBuffer = cbb.asFloatBuffer(); // Convert byte buffer to float (NEW) colorBuffer.put(colors); // Copy data into buffer (NEW) colorBuffer.position(0); // Rewind (NEW) // Setup index-array buffer. Indices in byte. indexBuffer = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(indices.length); indexBuffer.put(indices); indexBuffer.position(0); } // Render this shape public void draw(GL10 gl) { // Enable arrays and define the buffers gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY); gl.glVertexPointer(3, GL10.GL_FLOAT, 0, vertexBuffer); gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_COLOR_ARRAY); // Enable color-array (NEW) gl.glColorPointer(4, GL10.GL_FLOAT, 0, colorBuffer); // Define color-array buffer (NEW) // Draw the primitives via index-array gl.glDrawElements(GL10.GL_TRIANGLES, indices.length, GL10.GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, indexBuffer); gl.glDisableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY); gl.glDisableClientState(GL10.GL_COLOR_ARRAY); // Disable color-array (NEW) } }
Dissecting Triangle.java
During rendering, the vertex-array will be rendered together with other attributes (such as color, texture and normal), if these attributes are enabled.
In the above example, we define the colors of the vertices and copy them into a color-array buffer. We enable color-array client-state. The colors will be rendered together with the vertices in glDrawElements().
Square.java
Modify Square.java as follows:
package com.test; import java.nio.ByteBuffer; import java.nio.ByteOrder; import java.nio.FloatBuffer; import javax.microedition.khronos.opengles.GL10; /* * A square drawn in 2 triangles (using TRIANGLE_STRIP). This square has one color. */ public class Square { private FloatBuffer vertexBuffer; // Buffer for vertex-array private float[] vertices = { // Vertices for the square -1.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f, // 0. left-bottom 1.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f, // 1. right-bottom -1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, // 2. left-top 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f // 3. right-top }; // Constructor - Setup the vertex buffer public Square() { // Setup vertex array buffer. Vertices in float. A float has 4 bytes ByteBuffer vbb = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(vertices.length * 4); vbb.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder()); // Use native byte order vertexBuffer = vbb.asFloatBuffer(); // Convert from byte to float vertexBuffer.put(vertices); // Copy data into buffer vertexBuffer.position(0); // Rewind } // Render the shape public void draw(GL10 gl) { // Enable vertex-array and define its buffer gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY); gl.glVertexPointer(3, GL10.GL_FLOAT, 0, vertexBuffer); gl.glColor4f(0.5f, 0.5f, 1.0f, 1.0f); // Set the current color (NEW) // Draw the primitives from the vertex array directly gl.glDrawArrays(GL10.GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, vertices.length / 3); gl.glDisableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY); } }
Dissecting Square.java
Our square has one color. That is, all vertices are rendered using the same color. Hence, there is no need to define a color-array. Instead, we added a glColor* command before rendering the square using glDrawArrays().
GL Renderer and GL Activity
No change.
Example 4: Rotation (Nehe Lesson 4: Rotation)
To rotate the shapes created in the previous example, we need to make some minor modifications to our renderer.
package com.test;
import javax.microedition.khronos.egl.EGLConfig;
import javax.microedition.khronos.opengles.GL10;
import android.content.Context;
import android.opengl.GLSurfaceView;
import android.opengl.GLU;
public class MyGLRenderer implements GLSurfaceView.Renderer {
private Triangle triangle;
Square quad;
// Rotational angle and speed (NEW)
private float angleTriangle = 0.0f; // (NEW)
private float angleQuad = 0.0f; // (NEW)
private float speedTriangle = 0.5f; // (NEW)
private float speedQuad = -0.4f; // (NEW)
// Constructor
public MyGLRenderer(Context context) {
// Set up the buffers for these shapes
triangle = new Triangle();
quad = new Square();
}
// Call back when the surface is first created or re-created.
@Override
public void onSurfaceCreated(GL10 gl, EGLConfig config) {
// NO CHANGE - SKIP
......
}
// Call back after onSurfaceCreated() or whenever the window's size changes.
@Override
public void onSurfaceChanged(GL10 gl, int width, int height) {
// NO CHANGE - SKIP
......
}
// Call back to draw the current frame.
@Override
public void onDrawFrame(GL10 gl) {
// Clear color and depth buffers using clear-values set earlier
gl.glClear(GL10.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL10.GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
gl.glLoadIdentity(); // Reset model-view matrix
gl.glTranslatef(-1.5f, 0.0f, -6.0f); // Translate left and into the screen
gl.glRotatef(angleTriangle, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f); // Rotate the triangle about the y-axis (NEW)
triangle.draw(gl); // Draw triangle
gl.glLoadIdentity(); // Reset the mode-view matrix (NEW)
gl.glTranslatef(1.5f, 0.0f, -6.0f); // Translate right and into the screen (NEW)
gl.glRotatef(angleQuad, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f); // Rotate the square about the x-axis (NEW)
quad.draw(gl); // Draw quad
// Update the rotational angle after each refresh (NEW)
angleTriangle += speedTriangle; // (NEW)
angleQuad += speedQuad; // (NEW)
}
}
A glRotate* command was added to rotate the shape, with angle of rotation updated after each refresh.
Example 5: 3D Shapes - Rotating Color Cube and Pyramid (Nehe Lesson 5: 3D Shapes)
Pyramid.java
Set up the color pyramid as follows:
package com.test;
import java.nio.ByteBuffer;
import java.nio.ByteOrder;
import java.nio.FloatBuffer;
import javax.microedition.khronos.opengles.GL10;
public class Pyramid {
private FloatBuffer vertexBuffer; // Buffer for vertex-array
private FloatBuffer colorBuffer; // Buffer for color-array
private ByteBuffer indexBuffer; // Buffer for index-array
private float[] vertices = { // 5 vertices of the pyramid in (x,y,z)
-1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f, // 0. left-bottom-back
1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f, // 1. right-bottom-back
1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f, // 2. right-bottom-front
-1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f, // 3. left-bottom-front
0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f // 4. top
};
private float[] colors = { // Colors of the 5 vertices in RGBA
0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, // 0. blue
0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, // 1. green
0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, // 2. blue
0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, // 3. green
1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f // 4. red
};
private byte[] indices = { // Vertex indices of the 4 Triangles
2, 4, 3, // front face (CCW)
1, 4, 2, // right face
0, 4, 1, // back face
4, 0, 3 // left face
};
// Constructor - Set up the buffers
public Pyramid() {
// Setup vertex-array buffer. Vertices in float. An float has 4 bytes
ByteBuffer vbb = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(vertices.length * 4);
vbb.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder()); // Use native byte order
vertexBuffer = vbb.asFloatBuffer(); // Convert from byte to float
vertexBuffer.put(vertices); // Copy data into buffer
vertexBuffer.position(0); // Rewind
// Setup color-array buffer. Colors in float. An float has 4 bytes
ByteBuffer cbb = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(colors.length * 4);
cbb.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder());
colorBuffer = cbb.asFloatBuffer();
colorBuffer.put(colors);
colorBuffer.position(0);
// Setup index-array buffer. Indices in byte.
indexBuffer = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(indices.length);
indexBuffer.put(indices);
indexBuffer.position(0);
}
// Draw the shape
public void draw(GL10 gl) {
gl.glFrontFace(GL10.GL_CCW); // Front face in counter-clockwise orientation
// Enable arrays and define their buffers
gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
gl.glVertexPointer(3, GL10.GL_FLOAT, 0, vertexBuffer);
gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_COLOR_ARRAY);
gl.glColorPointer(4, GL10.GL_FLOAT, 0, colorBuffer);
gl.glDrawElements(GL10.GL_TRIANGLES, indices.length, GL10.GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE,
indexBuffer);
gl.glDisableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
gl.glDisableClientState(GL10.GL_COLOR_ARRAY);
}
}
Cube.java
Similarly, set up the color cube as follows:
package com.test;
import java.nio.ByteBuffer;
import java.nio.ByteOrder;
import java.nio.FloatBuffer;
import javax.microedition.khronos.opengles.GL10;
public class Cube {
private FloatBuffer vertexBuffer; // Buffer for vertex-array
private int numFaces = 6;
private float[][] colors = { // Colors of the 6 faces
{1.0f, 0.5f, 0.0f, 1.0f}, // 0. orange
{1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f}, // 1. violet
{0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f}, // 2. green
{0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f}, // 3. blue
{1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f}, // 4. red
{1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f} // 5. yellow
};
private float[] vertices = { // Vertices of the 6 faces
// FRONT
-1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f, // 0. left-bottom-front
1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f, // 1. right-bottom-front
-1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, // 2. left-top-front
1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, // 3. right-top-front
// BACK
1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f, // 6. right-bottom-back
-1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f, // 4. left-bottom-back
1.0f, 1.0f, -1.0f, // 7. right-top-back
-1.0f, 1.0f, -1.0f, // 5. left-top-back

Example 6: Texture (Nehe Lesson 6: Texture)
Let's convert our color-cube into a texture-cube.

Dissecting TextureCube.java
The vertices of all the 6 faces are arranged in a consistent manner (inverted-Z). Hence, we can use the same texture coordinates for all 6 face. We define the texture coords once, and put into the texture buffer 6 times. Take note that texture coordinates' origin is at the top-left corner. The coordinates are normalized to [0, 1].
private FloatBuffer texBuffer; // Texture Coords Buffer ...... float[] texCoords = { // Define the texture coord, applicable to all 6 faces // FRONT 0.0f, 1.0f, // A. left-bottom 1.0f, 1.0f, // B. right-bottom 0.0f, 0.0f, // C. left-top 1.0f, 0.0f // D. right-top }; // Allocate texture buffer ByteBuffer tbb = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(texCoords.length * 4 * 6); tbb.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder()); texBuffer = tbb.asFloatBuffer(); // All the 6 faces have the same texture coords, repeat 6 times for (int face = 0; face < 6; face++) { texBuffer.put(texCoords); } texBuffer.position(0); // Rewind
To render the texture, we simply enable client-state texture-coords-array (together with vertex-array). The vertices and texture-coords will be rendered together.
gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY);
gl.glVertexPointer(3, GL10.GL_FLOAT, 0, vertexBuffer);
gl.glTexCoordPointer(2, GL10.GL_FLOAT, 0, texBuffer);
for (int face = 0; face < 6; face++) {
// Render each face in TRIANGLE_STRIP using 4 vertices
gl.glDrawArrays(GL10.GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, face*4, 4);
}
We store the texture image "nehe.png" into folder "res\drawable".
The following steps are needed to setup texture and load an image:

Example 7a: User Inputs (Nehe Lesson 7 Part 1: Key-Controlled)
Nehe lesson 7 is far too complex, I shall break it into 3 parts: Key-controlled, Texture Filters, and Lighting.
TextureCube.java
No change, except using image "crate.png".
MyGLRenderer.java
We modify our renderer by adding variables and transformation methods to control the cube z-position, x and y rotational angles and speeds.
package com.test;
import javax.microedition.khronos.egl.EGLConfig;
import javax.microedition.khronos.opengles.GL10;
import android.content.Context;
import android.opengl.GLSurfaceView;
import android.opengl.GLU;
public class MyGLRenderer implements GLSurfaceView.Renderer {
private Context context;
private TextureCube cube;
// For controlling cube's z-position, x and y angles and speeds (NEW)
float angleX = 0; // (NEW)
float angleY = 0; // (NEW)
float speedX = 0; // (NEW)
float speedY = 0; // (NEW)
float z = -6.0f; // (NEW)
// Constructor
public MyGLRenderer(Context context) {
this.context = context;
cube = new TextureCube();
}
// Call back when the surface is first created or re-created.
@Override
public void onSurfaceCreated(GL10 gl, EGLConfig config) {
gl.glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f); // Set color's clear-value to black
gl.glClearDepthf(1.0f); // Set depth's clear-value to farthest
gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_DEPTH_TEST); // Enables depth-buffer for hidden surface removal
gl.glDepthFunc(GL10.GL_LEQUAL); // The type of depth testing to do
gl.glHint(GL10.GL_PERSPECTIVE_CORRECTION_HINT, GL10.GL_NICEST); // nice perspective view
gl.glShadeModel(GL10.GL_SMOOTH); // Enable smooth shading of color
gl.glDisable(GL10.GL_DITHER); // Disable dithering for better performance
// Setup Texture, each time the surface is created
cube.loadTexture(gl, context); // Load image into Texture
gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D); // Enable texture
}
// Call back after onSurfaceCreated() or whenever the window's size changes.
@Override
public void onSurfaceChanged(GL10 gl, int width, int height) {
// NO CHANGE - SKIP
......
}
// Call back to draw the current frame.
@Override
public void onDrawFrame(GL10 gl) {
// Clear color and depth buffers
gl.glClear(GL10.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL10.GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
// ----- Render the Cube -----
gl.glLoadIdentity(); // Reset the model-view matrix
gl.glTranslatef(0.0f, 0.0f, z); // Translate into the screen (NEW)
gl.glRotatef(angleX, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f); // Rotate (NEW)
gl.glRotatef(angleY, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f); // Rotate (NEW)
cube.draw(gl);
// Update the rotational angle after each refresh (NEW)
angleX += speedX; // (NEW)
angleY += speedY; // (NEW)
}
}
MyGLSurfaceView.java
In order to capture the user inputs, we need to customize the GLSurfaceView by extending a subclass, so as to override the event handlers (such as onKeyUp(), onTouchEvent()).
package com.test; import android.content.Context; import android.opengl.GLSurfaceView; import android.view.KeyEvent; import android.view.MotionEvent; /* * Custom GL view by extending GLSurfaceView so as * to override event handlers such as onKeyUp(), onTouchEvent() */ public class MyGLSurfaceView extends GLSurfaceView { MyGLRenderer renderer; // Custom GL Renderer // For touch event private final float TOUCH_SCALE_FACTOR = 180.0f / 320.0f; private float previousX; private float previousY; // Constructor - Allocate and set the renderer public MyGLSurfaceView(Context context) { super(context); renderer = new MyGLRenderer(context); this.setRenderer(renderer); // Request focus, otherwise key/button won't react this.requestFocus(); this.setFocusableInTouchMode(true); } // Handler for key event @Override public boolean onKeyUp(int keyCode, KeyEvent evt) { switch(keyCode) { case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_LEFT: // Decrease Y-rotational speed renderer.speedY -= 0.1f; break; case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_RIGHT: // Increase Y-rotational speed renderer.speedY += 0.1f; break; case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_UP: // Decrease X-rotational speed renderer.speedX -= 0.1f; break; case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN: // Increase X-rotational speed renderer.speedX += 0.1f; break; case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_A: // Zoom out (decrease z) renderer.z -= 0.2f; break; case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_Z: // Zoom in (increase z) renderer.z += 0.2f; break; } return true; // Event handled } // Handler for touch event @Override public boolean onTouchEvent(final MotionEvent evt) { float currentX = evt.getX(); float currentY = evt.getY(); float deltaX, deltaY; switch (evt.getAction()) { case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE: // Modify rotational angles according to movement deltaX = currentX - previousX; deltaY = currentY - previousY; renderer.angleX += deltaY * TOUCH_SCALE_FACTOR; renderer.angleY += deltaX * TOUCH_SCALE_FACTOR; } // Save current x, y previousX = currentX; previousY = currentY; return true; // Event handled } }
Clearly, we use key 'A' and 'Z' for zoom out and zoom in. Touch events for modifying x and y rotational angles. Left, right, up and down buttons to control the x and y rotational speeds.
MyGLActivity.java
We need to modify our GL Activity to use the custom GL View.
package com.test; import android.app.Activity; import android.opengl.GLSurfaceView; import android.os.Bundle; /* * OpenGL Main Activity. */ public class MyGLActivity extends Activity { private GLSurfaceView glView; // Use subclass of GLSurfaceView (NEW) @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); // Allocate a custom subclass of GLSurfaceView (NEW) glView = new MyGLSurfaceView(this); setContentView(glView); // Set View (NEW) } @Override protected void onPause() { super.onPause(); glView.onPause(); } @Override protected void onResume() { super.onResume(); glView.onResume(); } }
You can, similarly, capture and process other events. [MORE]

Android Port for Nehe's Lessons
I have ported some of the Nehe's lessons into Android. Refer to Nehe for the problem descriptions.
Setting Up:
- Nehe's Lesson #1: Setting up OpenGL's window. (Refer to above examples.)
OpenGL Basics: I consider Lessons 2-8 as OpenGL basic lessons, that are extremely important! (Refer to above examples.)
- Nehe's Lesson #2: Your first polygon
- Nehe's Lesson #3: Adding Color
- Nehe's Lesson #4: Rotation
- Nehe's Lesson #5: 3D Shape
- Nehe's Lesson #6: Texture
- Nehe's Lesson #7: Texture Filter, Lighting, and key-controlled
- Nehe's Lesson #8: Blending
Intermediate: [TODO]
