Android: Displaying text with OpenGL ES

I want to write an app which displays text for exactly 1/60 seconds (framerate = 60 Hz) on a device.
What is the best way to manage this task ?
I first tried it without OpenGL by using an ImageView, but the time management isn't easy that way, because I haven't access on the renderer. Or is there a way how to have access on the renderer ?
My following code doesn't display "T E S T I N G" with OpenGL and I don't know why.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements GLSurfaceView.Renderer {
// The texture pointer
private int[] textures = new int[1];
private Bitmap bitmap;
private Canvas canvas;
private Drawable background;
private Paint textPaint;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
GLSurfaceView glSurfaceView = new GLSurfaceView(this);
// OpenGL Version 2
glSurfaceView.setEGLContextClientVersion(2);
// bits for the channels of output image (red, green, blue, alpha, depth, stencil)
glSurfaceView.setEGLConfigChooser(8, 8, 8, 8, 16, 0);
// Activity acts as the Renderer
glSurfaceView.setRenderer(this);
// update on demand
glSurfaceView.setRenderMode(GLSurfaceView.RENDERMODE_WHEN_DIRTY);
// our bitmap
bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(256, 256, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_4444);
// get a canvas to paint over the bitmap
canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
bitmap.eraseColor(0);
// get a background image from resources
// note the image format must match the bitmap format
background = this.getApplicationContext().getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.background);
background.setBounds(0, 0, 256, 256);
// draw the background to our bitmap
background.draw(canvas);
// draw the text
textPaint = new Paint();
textPaint.setTextSize(32);
textPaint.setAntiAlias(true);
textPaint.setARGB(0xff, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00);
// draw the text centered
canvas.drawText("T E S T I N G", 16, 112, textPaint);
}
// when OpenGL starts up
#Override
public void onSurfaceCreated(GL10 gl, EGLConfig config) {
// default state to background color light grey state
GLES20.glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);
}
// called as often as possible => high frame rate
#Override
public void onDrawFrame(GL10 gl) {
// clear the color buffer (bitmaps)
GLES20.glClear(GLES20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
// generate one texture pointer...
gl.glGenTextures(1, textures, 0);
//...and bind it to our array
gl.glBindTexture(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, textures[0]);
// create Nearest Filtered Texture
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_LINEAR);
// different possible texture parameters, e.g. GL10.GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE
gl.glTexParameterf(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL10.GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL10.GL_REPEAT);
gl.glTexParameterf(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL10.GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL10.GL_REPEAT);
// use the Android GLUtils to specify a two-dimensional texture image from our bitmap
GLUtils.texImage2D(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, bitmap, 0);
// clean up
bitmap.recycle();
}
// for resizing purposes
#Override
public void onSurfaceChanged(GL10 gl, int width, int height) {
// when size of the GLSurfaceView changes we also want to change the size of the rendering view port to be the same
GLES20.glViewport(0, 0, width, height);
}}

You will find a good place to start with a GLSurfaceView here:
https://developer.android.com/training/graphics/opengl/environment.html
However, for text, simply draw text to a texture and render the texture. See this answer for how to do just that: https://stackoverflow.com/a/4336679/2979092
To ensure the use of GLES 2.0 add this to your manifest
<uses-feature android:glEsVersion="0x00020000" android:required="true" />
Extend the GLSurfaceView
class MyGLSurfaceView extends GLSurfaceView {
private final MyGLRenderer mRenderer;
public MyGLSurfaceView(Context context){
super(context);
setEGLContextClientVersion(2);
mRenderer = new MyGLRenderer(); // extended GLSurfaceView.Renderer
setRenderer(mRenderer);
}
}
Your renderer skeleton
public class MyGLRenderer implements GLSurfaceView.Renderer {
public void onSurfaceCreated(GL10 unused, EGLConfig config) {
GLES20.glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);
}
public void onDrawFrame(GL10 unused) {
GLES20.glClear(GLES20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
}
public void onSurfaceChanged(GL10 unused, int width, int height) {
GLES20.glViewport(0, 0, width, height);
}
}
To update on demand set
setRenderMode(GLSurfaceView.RENDERMODE_WHEN_DIRTY);
Render text to a texture using a Bitmap (copied from linked answer)
Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(256, 256, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_4444);
// get a canvas to paint over the bitmap
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
bitmap.eraseColor(0);
// get a background image from resources
// note the image format must match the bitmap format
Drawable background = context.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.background);
background.setBounds(0, 0, 256, 256);
background.draw(canvas); // draw the background to our bitmap
// Draw the text
Paint textPaint = new Paint();
textPaint.setTextSize(32);
textPaint.setAntiAlias(true);
textPaint.setARGB(0xff, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00);
// draw the text centered
canvas.drawText("Hello World", 16,112, textPaint);
//Generate one texture pointer...
gl.glGenTextures(1, textures, 0);
//...and bind it to our array
gl.glBindTexture(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, textures[0]);
//Create Nearest Filtered Texture
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_LINEAR);
//Different possible texture parameters, e.g. GL10.GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE
gl.glTexParameterf(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL10.GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL10.GL_REPEAT);
gl.glTexParameterf(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL10.GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL10.GL_REPEAT);
//Use the Android GLUtils to specify a two-dimensional texture image from our bitmap
GLUtils.texImage2D(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, bitmap, 0);
//Clean up
bitmap.recycle();
You will also need to bind a shader program before rendering if you're using GLES 2.0.

Unable to load image in opengl

This is my class SimpleBox.
I am only getting the square texture and not the image.
I have read in many websites that the size of the image should be in the powers of 2, the size of the image I am using is also in the powers of 2 still I am not able to get the image.
Where am I going wrong?

You haven't specified texture internal format in GLUtils.texImage2D call. It should be e.g. GL_RGB.
You creating texture on each draw call, but after first call bitmap wouldn't be valid any longer (bitmap.recycle();).
You creating texture on each draw call, but never deleting it. It is very likely that after some time you'll go out of memory.
In short, move texture creation out of draw and correct its internal format.

I got to know where I was going wrong. I was binding the texture with "0" after the bitmap has been loaded to that texture. Hence, I was getting the black texture. After commenting this I got the texture with the image.

android opengl es 1.1 - drawing glitch on certain devices - screenshots inside

The top image is the undesired result (it also seems to flicker).
The bottom image is what I would like the render to look like on ALL devices.
Hello, I seem to be having problems with rendering a textured square to my galaxy s4, but not on my my gt p3113 tablet...
Here is the code from my GLRenderer:
#Override
public void onDrawFrame(GL10 gl)
{
manObjects.draw(gl, 0, 0);
}
#Override
public void onSurfaceChanged(GL10 gl, int width, int height)
{
if (height == 0)
{ // Prevent A Divide By Zero By
height = 1; // Making Height Equal One
}
gl.glViewport(0, 0, width, height); // Reset The Current Viewport
gl.glMatrixMode(GL10.GL_PROJECTION); // Select The Projection Matrix
gl.glLoadIdentity(); // Reset The Projection Matrix
// respect the height:width ratio of the window.
GLU.gluOrtho2D(gl, -1f, 1f, 1.6f, -1.6f);
gl.glMatrixMode(GL10.GL_MODELVIEW); // Select The Modelview Matrix
gl.glLoadIdentity(); // Reset The Modelview Matrix
}
#Override
public void onSurfaceCreated(GL10 gl, EGLConfig config)
{
// Settings
gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D); // Enable Texture Mapping
gl.glShadeModel(GL10.GL_SMOOTH); // Enable Smooth Shading
gl.glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.5f); // Black Background
gl.glClearDepthf(1.0f); // Depth Buffer Setup
// Really Nice Perspective Calculations
gl.glHint(GL10.GL_PERSPECTIVE_CORRECTION_HINT, GL10.GL_NICEST);
gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_BLEND); // Enable blending
gl.glDisable(GL10.GL_DEPTH_TEST); // Disable depth test
gl.glBlendFunc(GL10.GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL10.GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
// Load textures
manObjects.load(gl, mContext);
}
Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? And more specifically why it works on one device and not on the other?
Draw code:
public void draw(GL10 gl, float x, float y)
{
gl.glLoadIdentity();
gl.glBindTexture(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, texPointers[0]);
tSquare[0].draw(gl);
}
public void drawBLACK(GL10 gl)
{
gl.glLoadIdentity();
gl.glBindTexture(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0);
gl.glScalef(1f, 1.6f, 1);
gl.glColor4f(0, 0, 0, 1);
tSquare[0].draw(gl);
gl.glColor4f(1, 1, 1, 1);
}
tSquare[0].draw(gl):
public void draw(GL10 gl)
{
//Enable the vertex, texture and normal state
gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY);
//Point to our buffers
gl.glVertexPointer(3, GL10.GL_FLOAT, 0, vertexBuffer);
gl.glTexCoordPointer(2, GL10.GL_FLOAT, 0, textureBuffer);
//Draw the vertices as triangle strip
gl.glDrawArrays(GL10.GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, vertices.length / 3);
//Disable the client state before leaving
gl.glDisableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
gl.glDisableClientState(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY);
}

here is an example of my onDrawFrame, try making your gl calls in onDrawFrame instead
first make
public int width, height;
then
#Override
public void onSurfaceChanged(GL10 gl, int width, int height) {
this.width = width;
this.height = height;
}
then onDrawFrame something like this
#Override
public void onDrawFrame(GL10 gl)
{
gl.glClear(GL10.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
gl.glViewport(0, 0, width, height);
gl.glMatrixMode(GL10.GL_PROJECTION);
gl.glLoadIdentity();
gl.glOrthof(0.0f, width, 0.0f, height, -1.0f, 1.0f);
gl.glMatrixMode(GL10.GL_MODELVIEW);
gl.glLoadIdentity();
gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_BLEND);
gl.glBlendFunc(GL10.GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL10.GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D);
manObjects.draw(gl, 0, 0);
}

Possible solution:
I have added another draw before the call that draws the star. This added draw call draws a giant black rectangle that covers the entire screen...
I feel like I'm only masking the problem and not really fixing it...
Thoughts?

How do i create a list of Objects in Java

I have a class file called MarkerCustom. MarkerCustom has a constructor that takes three variables of different types.
public MarkerCustom(int myInt, String, myString, BitmapData myBitmap) {
From my main Main activity i want to load a GLSurface view that will take an ArrayList of every instance of MarkerCustom that i will want to load into the GLSurface along with the data that will be passed into each instance of MarkerCustom's constructor.
Lets call the Array List myMarkers;
i need myMarkers to look like this:
myMarkers[0] = [1, "hello", bitMapData1]
myMarkers[1] = [66, "johnHandy", bitmapData2]
i am fairly new to java and its casting ect confuses me a bit having come from AS3
EDIT
So following AKhill's answer below i have edited my GLSurfaceView to accept an ArrayList as shown below. But the MarkerCustom Class needs to be created from each listed in that ArrayList in the constructor in a manner that its is accessible in the onSurfaceCreate and the onDrawFrame method of the GLSurfaceView
Please see those methods and the for loops/comments in this class below:
public class GLLayer extends GLSurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback, Camera.PreviewCallback, Renderer {
private Context context;
ArrayList <MarkerCustom> locationTags;
private PhoneOrientation phoneOri;
public GLLayer(Context context, int orientation, ArrayList<MarkerCustom> custMarkers) {
super(context);
locationTags = custMarkers;
this.context = context;
phoneOri=new PhoneOrientation(context); // sensor manager and interpreter
for(int i =0; i<locationTags.size(); i++){
//Need to create a an instance of each MarkerCustom
// something like MarkerCustom locationTags[i]; = new MarkerCustom (its params);
}
this.setEGLConfigChooser(8, 8, 8, 8, 16, 0);
this.getHolder().setFormat(PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
this.setRenderer(this);
phoneOri.start(context, orientation);
}
#Override
public void onDrawFrame(GL10 gl) {
gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D);
gl.glClear(GL10.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL10.GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
gl.glLoadIdentity();
GLU.gluLookAt(gl,0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
float floatMat[]=phoneOri.getMatrix();
gl.glMatrixMode(GL10.GL_MODELVIEW);
gl.glLoadMatrixf(floatMat, 0);
for(int i=0;i<loacationTags.size();i++){
gl.glPushMatrix();
//locationTags[i].draw(gl);
gl.glLoadMatrixf(floatMat,0);
}
gl.glPushMatrix();
}
#Override
public void onSurfaceChanged(GL10 gl, int width, int height) {
if(height == 0) {
height = 1;
}
float ratio = (float) width / height;
gl.glViewport(0, 0, width, height);
gl.glMatrixMode(GL10.GL_PROJECTION);
gl.glLoadIdentity();
GLU.gluPerspective(gl, 35.0f, (float)width / (float)height, 5.0f, 200.0f);
gl.glMatrixMode(GL10.GL_MODELVIEW);
gl.glLoadIdentity();
GLU.gluLookAt(gl, 0, 1.0f, 5.0f, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1.0f, 0);
}
#Override
public void onSurfaceCreated(GL10 gl, EGLConfig arg1) {
for(int i=0;i<locationTags.size();i++){
//call each MarkerCustom's loadGLTexture Method
//locationTags[i].loadGLTexture(gl, this.context);
}
gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D);
gl.glShadeModel(GL10.GL_SMOOTH);
gl.glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
gl.glClearDepthf(1.0f);
gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_DEPTH_TEST);
gl.glDepthFunc(GL10.GL_LEQUAL);
gl.glHint(GL10.GL_PERSPECTIVE_CORRECTION_HINT, GL10.GL_SMOOTH);
}
#Override
public void onPreviewFrame(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
}
}
And Just for reference here is my MarkerCustom class
public class MarkerCustom {
public float xPos;
public float yPos;
public float zPos;
public float yaw;
public float pitch;
public Bitmap tagImage;
private FloatBuffer vertexBuffer; // buffer holding the vertices
private float vertices[] = {
0.0f, -10.0f, -10.0f, // V1 - bottom left
0.0f, -10.0f, 10.0f, // V2 - top left
0.0f, 10.0f, -10.0f, // V3 - bottom right
0.0f, 10.0f, 10.0f // V4 - top right
};
private FloatBuffer textureBuffer; // buffer holding the texture coordinates
private float texture[] = {
// Mapping coordinates for the vertices
0.0f, 1.0f, // top left (V2)
0.0f, 0.0f, // bottom left (V1)
1.0f, 1.0f, // top right (V4)
1.0f, 0.0f // bottom right (V3)
};
public MarkerCustom(float x, float y, float z, float yawAngle, float pitchAngle, Bitmap bitmap) {
xPos = x;
yPos = y;
zPos = z;
yaw = yawAngle;
pitch = pitchAngle;
tagImage = bitmap;
ByteBuffer byteBuffer = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(vertices.length * 4);
byteBuffer.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder());
vertexBuffer = byteBuffer.asFloatBuffer();
vertexBuffer.put(vertices);

byteBuffer = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(texture.length * 4);
byteBuffer.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder());

textureBuffer.position(0);
}
/** The texture pointer */
private int[] textures = new int[1];
public void loadGLTexture(GL10 gl, Context context) {
// loading texture
// Enable blending using premultiplied alpha.
gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_BLEND);
gl.glBlendFunc(GL10.GL_ONE, GL10.GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
// generate one texture pointer
gl.glGenTextures(1, textures, 0);
// ...and bind it to our array
gl.glBindTexture(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, textures[0]);
// create nearest filtered texture
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_LINEAR);
// Use Android GLUtils to specify a two-dimensional texture image from our bitmap
GLUtils.texImage2D(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, tagImage, 0);
// Clean up
tagImage.recycle();
}
public void draw(GL10 gl) {
// bind the previously generated texture
gl.glBindTexture(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, textures[0]);
// Point to our buffers
gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY);
// Set the face rotation
gl.glFrontFace(GL10.GL_CW);
// Point to our vertex buffer
gl.glVertexPointer(3, GL10.GL_FLOAT, 0, vertexBuffer);
gl.glTexCoordPointer(2, GL10.GL_FLOAT, 0, textureBuffer);
// Draw the vertices as triangle strip
gl.glDrawArrays(GL10.GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, vertices.length / 3);
//Disable the client state before leaving
gl.glDisableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
gl.glDisableClientState(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY);
}
}

Try this.
List<MarkerCustom> myList=new ArrayList<MarkerCustom>();
MarkerCustom entry1=new MarkerCustom(myInt, myString, myBitmap);
MarkerCustom entry2=new MarkerCustom(myInt, myString, myBitmap);
myList.add(entry1);
myList.add(entry2);

Shorthand:
List<MarkerCustom> markerList = Arrays.asList(
new MarkerCustom(1, "hello", bitMapData1),
new MarkerCustom(66, "johnHandy", bitMapData2))
};

In this case I think it's easier to create a class Marker (for instance) that has three attributes.
For example:
class Marker {
int var1;
String var2;
BitmapData var3; }
This way, you are able to store an ArrayList of Markers (ArrayList), and you can access all the information you need.

Using OpenGL to replace Canvas - Android

I am attempting to replace the Canvas-based rendering system that I already have with the faster opengl-es surface, however, I can't seem to get an openGL renderer to conform in such a way that it acts as 2d field, rather than a perspective view.
My current code for the renderer looks as follows:
#Override
public void onSurfaceChanged(GL10 gl, int width, int height) {
gl.glViewport(0, 0, width, height);
gl.glMatrixMode(GL10.GL_PROJECTION);
gl.glLoadIdentity();
gl.glOrthof(0.0f, width, 0.0f, height, 0.0f, 1.0f);
gl.glShadeModel(GL10.GL_FLAT);
gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_BLEND);
gl.glBlendFunc(GL10.GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL10.GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
gl.glColor4x(0x10000, 0x10000, 0x10000, 0x10000);
gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D);
}
#Override
public void onSurfaceCreated(GL10 gl, EGLConfig config) {
gl.glHint(GL10.GL_PERSPECTIVE_CORRECTION_HINT, GL10.GL_FASTEST);
gl.glClearColor(0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f, 1);
gl.glShadeModel(GL10.GL_FLAT);
gl.glDisable(GL10.GL_DEPTH_TEST);
gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D);
gl.glDisable(GL10.GL_DITHER);
gl.glDisable(GL10.GL_LIGHTING);
gl.glClear(GL10.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL10.GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
}
How would I setup the renderer so that the translate transformation would match up with the pixels on the screen? (so translating 5 to the right would move it 5 pixels)

Please note that in openGL that Y co-ordinate is inverted. Otherwise all is the same.
As for the correct flags, I recommend you check out the open source android game replica island: http://code.google.com/p/replicaisland/
Here's what I use in my own code:
public void onSurfaceChanged(GL10 gl, int width, int height)
{
mViewWidth = width;
mViewHeight = height;
gl.glViewport(0, 0, mViewWidth, mViewHeight);
gl.glLoadIdentity();
GLU.gluOrtho2D(gl, 0, mViewWidth, mViewHeight, 0);
}
public void onSurfaceCreated(GL10 gl, EGLConfig config)
{
gl.glClearColor(0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f, 1);
gl.glHint(GL10.GL_PERSPECTIVE_CORRECTION_HINT, GL10.GL_FASTEST);
gl.glShadeModel(GL10.GL_FLAT);
gl.glDisable(GL10.GL_DEPTH_TEST);
gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_BLEND);
gl.glBlendFunc(GL10.GL_ONE, GL10.GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
gl.glViewport(0, 0, mViewWidth, mViewHeight);
gl.glMatrixMode(GL10.GL_PROJECTION);
gl.glLoadIdentity();
gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_BLEND);
gl.glBlendFunc(GL10.GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL10.GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
gl.glShadeModel(GL10.GL_FLAT);
gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D);
GLU.gluOrtho2D(gl, 0, mViewWidth, mViewHeight, 0);
}
Where mViewWidth & mViewHeight are the size of the display.
