Whereas the OS should clean up any OpenGL resources (like textures, VBOs, the framebuffer, …) once your program ends (this should hold on Android like for any other OS) or the GL context is destroyed, it is still good practice to delete any OpenGL objects once they’re not needed anymore using their respective destructors (like
glDeleteTextures,glDeleteBuffers, …).
