Question

when i try to run a program in eclipse with adt and od a check for

if(info.reqGlEsVersion <  0x20000)

it always fails.
I set a breakpoint and looked at the info object and the reqGlEsVersion is 0

i tested this with multiple virtual devices and api’s, one having version 2.3.3 another with 3.0. as far as i gould figure out the minimum requirement for gl es 2.0 is android 2.2 so it should run fine. other than chaning the api i used the device snapshot option and standard configuration

did i miss some configuration step or something?

btw the eclipse version is 2.5.1

I followed advice from this link

Comment from link is:

Two notes about the GPU emulation

First, you need to edit your emulator image, go down to the hardware section, and add “GPU Emulation” and set it to true.

Second, there’s a bug with the emulator such that this line: “final boolean supportsEs2 = configurationInfo.reqGlEsVersion >=
0×20000;” does not work. It will always return false. You can add “||
Build.FINGERPRINT.startsWith(“generic”)” or simply comment out these
checks and assume that OpenGL ES 2 is supported, when running on the
emulator.
