| <p>This tutorial shows you how to create a simple Android application that uses the OpenGL ES 1.0 |
| API to perform some basic graphics operations. You'll learn how to:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>Create an activity using {@link android.opengl.GLSurfaceView} and {@link |
| android.opengl.GLSurfaceView.Renderer}</li> |
| <li>Create and draw a graphic object</li> |
| <li>Define a projection to correct for screen geometry</li> |
| <li>Define a camera view</li> |
| <li>Rotate a graphic object</li> |
| <li>Make graphics touch-interactive</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>The Android framework supports both the OpenGL ES 1.0/1.1 and OpenGL ES 2.0 APIs. You should |
| carefully consider which version of the OpenGL ES API (1.0/1.1 or 2.0) is most appropriate for your |
| needs. For more information, see |
| <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/graphics/opengl.html#choosing-version">Choosing an OpenGL API |
| Version</a>. If you would prefer to use OpenGL ES 2.0, see the <a |
| href="{@docRoot}resources/tutorials/opengl/opengl-es20.html">OpenGL ES 2.0 tutorial</a>.</p> |
| |
| <p>Before you start, you should understand how to create a basic Android application. If you do not |
| know how to create an app, follow the <a href="{@docRoot}resources/tutorials/hello-world.html">Hello |
| World Tutorial</a> to familiarize yourself with the process.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="creating">Create an Activity with GLSurfaceView</h2> |
| |
| <p>To get started using OpenGL, you must implement both a {@link android.opengl.GLSurfaceView} and a |
| {@link android.opengl.GLSurfaceView.Renderer}. The {@link android.opengl.GLSurfaceView} is the main |
| view type for applications that use OpenGL and the {@link android.opengl.GLSurfaceView.Renderer} |
| controls what is drawn within that view. (For more information about these classes, see the <a |
| href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/graphics/opengl.html">3D with OpenGL</a> document.)</p> |
| |
| <p>To create an activity using {@code GLSurfaceView}:</p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Start a new Android project that targets Android 1.6 (API Level 4) or higher. |
| </li> |
| <li>Name the project <strong>HelloOpenGLES10</strong> and make sure it includes an activity called |
| {@code HelloOpenGLES10}. |
| </li> |
| <li>Modify the {@code HelloOpenGLES10} class as follows: |
| <pre> |
| package com.example.android.apis.graphics; |
| |
| import android.app.Activity; |
| import android.content.Context; |
| import android.opengl.GLSurfaceView; |
| import android.os.Bundle; |
| |
| public class HelloOpenGLES10 extends Activity { |
| |
| private GLSurfaceView mGLView; |
| |
| @Override |
| public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { |
| super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); |
| |
| // Create a GLSurfaceView instance and set it |
| // as the ContentView for this Activity. |
| mGLView = new HelloOpenGLES10SurfaceView(this); |
| setContentView(mGLView); |
| } |
| |
| @Override |
| protected void onPause() { |
| super.onPause(); |
| // The following call pauses the rendering thread. |
| // If your OpenGL application is memory intensive, |
| // you should consider de-allocating objects that |
| // consume significant memory here. |
| mGLView.onPause(); |
| } |
| |
| @Override |
| protected void onResume() { |
| super.onResume(); |
| // The following call resumes a paused rendering thread. |
| // If you de-allocated graphic objects for onPause() |
| // this is a good place to re-allocate them. |
| mGLView.onResume(); |
| } |
| } |
| |
| class HelloOpenGLES10SurfaceView extends GLSurfaceView { |
| |
| public HelloOpenGLES10SurfaceView(Context context){ |
| super(context); |
| |
| // Set the Renderer for drawing on the GLSurfaceView |
| setRenderer(new HelloOpenGLES10Renderer()); |
| } |
| } |
| </pre> |
| <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> You will get a compile error for the {@code |
| HelloOpenGLES10Renderer} class reference. That's expected; you will fix this error in the next step. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>As shown above, this activity uses a single {@link android.opengl.GLSurfaceView} for its |
| view. Notice that this activity implements crucial lifecycle callbacks for pausing and resuming its |
| work.</p> |
| |
| <p>The {@code HelloOpenGLES10SurfaceView} class in this example code above is just a thin wrapper |
| for an instance of {@link android.opengl.GLSurfaceView} and is not strictly necessary for this |
| example. However, if you want your application to monitor and respond to touch screen |
| events—and we are guessing you do—you must extend {@link android.opengl.GLSurfaceView} |
| to add touch event listeners, which you will learn how to do in the <a href="#touch">Reponding to |
| Touch Events</a> section.</p> |
| |
| <p>In order to draw graphics in the {@link android.opengl.GLSurfaceView}, you must define an |
| implementation of {@link android.opengl.GLSurfaceView.Renderer}. In the next step, you create |
| a renderer class to complete this OpenGL application.</p> |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>Create a new file for the following class {@code HelloOpenGLES10Renderer}, which implements |
| the {@link android.opengl.GLSurfaceView.Renderer} interface: |
| |
| <pre> |
| package com.example.android.apis.graphics; |
| |
| import javax.microedition.khronos.egl.EGLConfig; |
| import javax.microedition.khronos.opengles.GL10; |
| |
| import android.opengl.GLSurfaceView; |
| |
| public class HelloOpenGLES10Renderer implements GLSurfaceView.Renderer { |
| |
| public void onSurfaceCreated(GL10 gl, EGLConfig config) { |
| // Set the background frame color |
| gl.glClearColor(0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f, 1.0f); |
| } |
| |
| public void onDrawFrame(GL10 gl) { |
| // Redraw background color |
| gl.glClear(GL10.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL10.GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT); |
| } |
| |
| public void onSurfaceChanged(GL10 gl, int width, int height) { |
| gl.glViewport(0, 0, width, height); |
| } |
| |
| } |
| </pre> |
| <p>This minimal implementation of {@link android.opengl.GLSurfaceView.Renderer} provides the |
| code structure needed to use OpenGL drawing methods: |
| <ul> |
| <li>{@link |
| android.opengl.GLSurfaceView.Renderer#onSurfaceCreated(javax.microedition.khronos.opengles.GL10, |
| javax.microedition.khronos.egl.EGLConfig) onSurfaceCreated()} is called once to set up the |
| {@link android.opengl.GLSurfaceView} |
| environment.</li> |
| <li>{@link |
| android.opengl.GLSurfaceView.Renderer#onDrawFrame(javax.microedition.khronos.opengles.GL10) |
| onDrawFrame()} is called for each redraw of the {@link |
| android.opengl.GLSurfaceView}.</li> |
| <li>{@link |
| android.opengl.GLSurfaceView.Renderer#onSurfaceChanged(javax.microedition.khronos.opengles.GL10, |
| int, int) onSurfaceChanged()} is called if the geometry of the {@link |
| android.opengl.GLSurfaceView} changes, for example when the device's screen orientation |
| changes.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| <p>For more information about these methods, see the <a |
| href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/graphics/opengl.html">3D with OpenGL</a> document. |
| </p> |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p>The code example above creates a simple Android application that displays a grey screen using |
| OpenGL ES 1.0 calls. While this application does not do anything very interesting, by creating these |
| classes, you have layed the foundation needed to start drawing graphic elements with OpenGL ES |
| 1.0.</p> |
| |
| <p>If you are familiar with the OpenGL ES APIs, these classes should give you enough information |
| to use the OpenGL ES 1.0 API and create graphics. However, if you need a bit more help getting |
| started with OpenGL, head on to the next sections for a few more hints.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="drawing">Draw a Shape on GLSurfaceView</h2> |
| |
| <p>Once you have implemented a {@link android.opengl.GLSurfaceView.Renderer}, the next step is to |
| draw something with it. This section shows you how to define and draw a triangle.</p> |
| |
| <h3 id="define-triangle">Define a Triangle</h3> |
| |
| <p>OpenGL allows you to define objects using coordinates in three-dimensional space. So, before you |
| can draw a triangle, you must define its coordinates. In OpenGL, the typical way to do this is to |
| define a vertex array for the coordinates.</p> |
| |
| <p>By default, OpenGL ES assumes a coordinate system where [0,0,0] (X,Y,Z) specifies the center of |
| the {@link android.opengl.GLSurfaceView} frame, [1,1,0] is the top right corner of the frame and |
| [-1,-1,0] is bottom left corner of the frame.</p> |
| |
| <p>To define a vertex array for a triangle:</p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>In your {@code HelloOpenGLES10Renderer} class, add new member variable to contain the |
| vertices of a triangle shape: |
| <pre> |
| private FloatBuffer triangleVB; |
| </pre> |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>Create a method, {@code initShapes()} which populates this member variable: |
| <pre> |
| private void initShapes(){ |
| |
| float triangleCoords[] = { |
| // X, Y, Z |
| -0.5f, -0.25f, 0, |
| 0.5f, -0.25f, 0, |
| 0.0f, 0.559016994f, 0 |
| }; |
| |
| // initialize vertex Buffer for triangle |
| ByteBuffer vbb = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect( |
| // (# of coordinate values * 4 bytes per float) |
| triangleCoords.length * 4); |
| vbb.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder());// use the device hardware's native byte order |
| triangleVB = vbb.asFloatBuffer(); // create a floating point buffer from the ByteBuffer |
| triangleVB.put(triangleCoords); // add the coordinates to the FloatBuffer |
| triangleVB.position(0); // set the buffer to read the first coordinate |
| |
| } |
| </pre> |
| <p>This method defines a two-dimensional triangle with three equal sides.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li>Modify your {@code onSurfaceCreated()} method to initialize your triangle: |
| <pre> |
| public void onSurfaceCreated(GL10 gl, EGLConfig config) { |
| |
| // Set the background frame color |
| gl.glClearColor(0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f, 1.0f); |
| |
| // initialize the triangle vertex array |
| initShapes(); |
| } |
| </pre> |
| <p class="caution"><strong>Caution:</strong> Shapes and other static objects should be initialized |
| once in your {@code onSurfaceCreated()} method for best performance. Avoid initializing the |
| new objects in {@code onDrawFrame()}, as this causes the system to re-create the objects |
| for every frame redraw and slows down your application. |
| </p> |
| </li> |
| |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p>You have now defined a triangle shape, but if you run the application, nothing appears. What?! |
| You also have to tell OpenGL to draw the triangle, which you'll do in the next section. |
| </p> |
| |
| |
| <h3 id="draw-triangle">Draw the Triangle</h3> |
| |
| <p>Before you can draw your triangle, you must tell OpenGL that you are using vertex arrays. After |
| that setup step, you can call the drawing APIs to display the triangle.</p> |
| |
| <p>To draw the triangle:</p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Add the {@code glEnableClientState()} method to the end of {@code onSurfaceCreated()} to |
| enable vertex arrays. |
| <pre> |
| // Enable use of vertex arrays |
| gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY); |
| </pre> |
| <p>At this point, you are ready to draw the triangle object in the OpenGL view.</p> |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>Add the following code to the end of your {@code onDrawFrame()} method to draw the triangle. |
| <pre> |
| // Draw the triangle |
| gl.glColor4f(0.63671875f, 0.76953125f, 0.22265625f, 0.0f); |
| gl.glVertexPointer(3, GL10.GL_FLOAT, 0, triangleVB); |
| gl.glDrawArrays(GL10.GL_TRIANGLES, 0, 3); |
| </pre> |
| </li> |
| <li id="squashed-triangle">Run the app! Your application should look something like this: |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <img src="{@docRoot}images/opengl/helloopengl-es10-1.png"> |
| <p class="img-caption"> |
| <strong>Figure 1.</strong> Triangle drawn without a projection or camera view. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>There are a few problems with this example. First of all, it is not going to impress your |
| friends. Secondly, the triangle is a bit squashed and changes shape when you change the screen |
| orientation of the device. The reason the shape is skewed is due to the fact that the object is |
| being rendered in a frame which is not perfectly square. You'll fix that problem using a projection |
| and camera view in the next section.</p> |
| |
| <p>Lastly, because the triangle is stationary, the system is redrawing the object repeatedly in |
| exactly the same place, which is not the most efficient use of the OpenGL graphics pipeline. In the |
| <a href="#motion">Add Motion</a> section, you'll make this shape rotate and justify |
| this use of processing power.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="projection-and-views">Apply Projection and Camera View</h2> |
| |
| <p>One of the basic problems in displaying graphics is that Android device displays are typically |
| not square and, by default, OpenGL happily maps a perfectly square, uniform coordinate |
| system onto your typically non-square screen. To solve this problem, you can apply an OpenGL |
| projection mode and camera view (eye point) to transform the coordinates of your graphic objects |
| so they have the correct proportions on any display. For more information about OpenGL coordinate |
| mapping, see <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/graphics/opengl.html#coordinate-mapping">Mapping |
| Coordinates for Drawn Objects</a>.</p> |
| |
| <p>To apply projection and camera view transformations to your triangle: |
| </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Modify your {@code onSurfaceChanged()} method to enable {@link |
| javax.microedition.khronos.opengles.GL10#GL_PROJECTION GL10.GL_PROJECTION} mode, calculate the |
| screen ratio and apply the ratio as a transformation of the object coordinates. |
| <pre> |
| public void onSurfaceChanged(GL10 gl, int width, int height) { |
| gl.glViewport(0, 0, width, height); |
| |
| // make adjustments for screen ratio |
| float ratio = (float) width / height; |
| gl.glMatrixMode(GL10.GL_PROJECTION); // set matrix to projection mode |
| gl.glLoadIdentity(); // reset the matrix to its default state |
| gl.glFrustumf(-ratio, ratio, -1, 1, 3, 7); // apply the projection matrix |
| } |
| </pre> |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>Next, modify your {@code onDrawFrame()} method to apply the {@link |
| javax.microedition.khronos.opengles.GL10#GL_MODELVIEW GL_MODELVIEW} mode and set |
| a view point using {@link android.opengl.GLU#gluLookAt(javax.microedition.khronos.opengles.GL10, |
| float, float, float, float, float, float, float, float, float) GLU.gluLookAt()}. |
| <pre> |
| public void onDrawFrame(GL10 gl) { |
| // Redraw background color |
| gl.glClear(GL10.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL10.GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT); |
| |
| // Set GL_MODELVIEW transformation mode |
| gl.glMatrixMode(GL10.GL_MODELVIEW); |
| gl.glLoadIdentity(); // reset the matrix to its default state |
| |
| // When using GL_MODELVIEW, you must set the view point |
| GLU.gluLookAt(gl, 0, 0, -5, 0f, 0f, 0f, 0f, 1.0f, 0.0f); |
| |
| // Draw the triangle |
| ... |
| } |
| </pre> |
| </li> |
| <li>Run the updated application and you should see something like this:</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <img src="{@docRoot}images/opengl/helloopengl-es10-2.png"> |
| <p class="img-caption"> |
| <strong>Figure 2.</strong> Triangle drawn with a projection and camera view applied. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>Now that you have applied this transformation, the triangle has three equal sides, instead of the |
| <a href="#squashed-triangle">squashed triangle</a> in the earlier version.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="motion">Add Motion</h2> |
| |
| <p>While it may be an interesting exercise to create static graphic objects with OpenGL ES, chances |
| are you want at least <em>some</em> of your objects to move. In this section, you'll add motion to |
| your triangle by rotating it.</p> |
| |
| <p>To add rotation to your triangle:</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Modify your {@code onDrawFrame()} method to rotate the triangle object: |
| <pre> |
| public void onDrawFrame(GL10 gl) { |
| ... |
| // When using GL_MODELVIEW, you must set the view point |
| GLU.gluLookAt(gl, 0, 0, -5, 0f, 0f, 0f, 0f, 1.0f, 0.0f); |
| |
| // Create a rotation for the triangle |
| long time = SystemClock.uptimeMillis() % 4000L; |
| float angle = 0.090f * ((int) time); |
| gl.glRotatef(angle, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f); |
| |
| // Draw the triangle |
| ... |
| } |
| </pre> |
| </li> |
| <li>Run the application and your triangle should rotate around its center.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| |
| <h2 id="touch">Respond to Touch Events</h2> |
| <p>Making objects move according to a preset program like the rotating triangle is useful for |
| getting some attention, but what if you want to have users interact with your OpenGL graphics? In |
| this section, you'll learn how listen for touch events to let users interact with objects in your |
| {@code HelloOpenGLES10SurfaceView}.</p> |
| |
| <p>The key to making your OpenGL application touch interactive is expanding your implementation of |
| {@link android.opengl.GLSurfaceView} to override the {@link |
| android.view.View#onTouchEvent(android.view.MotionEvent) onTouchEvent()} to listen for touch events. |
| Before you do that, however, you'll modify the renderer class to expose the rotation angle of the |
| triangle. Afterwards, you'll modify the {@code HelloOpenGLES10SurfaceView} to process touch events |
| and pass that data to your renderer.</p> |
| |
| <p>To make your triangle rotate in response to touch events:</p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Modify your {@code HelloOpenGLES10Renderer} class to include a new, public member so that |
| your {@code HelloOpenGLES10SurfaceView} class is able to pass new rotation values your renderer: |
| <pre> |
| public float mAngle; |
| </pre> |
| </li> |
| <li>In your {@code onDrawFrame()} method, comment out the code that generates an angle and |
| replace the {@code angle} variable with {@code mAngle}. |
| <pre> |
| // Create a rotation for the triangle (Boring! Comment this out:) |
| // long time = SystemClock.uptimeMillis() % 4000L; |
| // float angle = 0.090f * ((int) time); |
| |
| // Use the mAngle member as the rotation value |
| gl.glRotatef(mAngle, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f); |
| </pre> |
| </li> |
| <li>In your {@code HelloOpenGLES10SurfaceView} class, add the following member variables. |
| <pre> |
| private final float TOUCH_SCALE_FACTOR = 180.0f / 320; |
| private HelloOpenGLES10Renderer mRenderer; |
| private float mPreviousX; |
| private float mPreviousY; |
| </pre> |
| </li> |
| <li>In the constructor method for {@code HelloOpenGLES10SurfaceView}, set the {@code mRenderer} |
| member so you have a handle to pass in rotation input and set the render mode to {@link |
| android.opengl.GLSurfaceView#RENDERMODE_WHEN_DIRTY}. |
| <pre> |
| public HelloOpenGLES10SurfaceView(Context context){ |
| super(context); |
| // set the mRenderer member |
| mRenderer = new HelloOpenGLES10Renderer(); |
| setRenderer(mRenderer); |
| |
| // Render the view only when there is a change |
| setRenderMode(GLSurfaceView.RENDERMODE_WHEN_DIRTY); |
| } |
| </pre> |
| </li> |
| <li>In your {@code HelloOpenGLES10SurfaceView} class, override the {@link |
| android.view.View#onTouchEvent(android.view.MotionEvent) onTouchEvent()} method to listen for touch |
| events and pass them to your renderer. |
| <pre> |
| @Override |
| public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent e) { |
| // MotionEvent reports input details from the touch screen |
| // and other input controls. In this case, you are only |
| // interested in events where the touch position changed. |
| |
| float x = e.getX(); |
| float y = e.getY(); |
| |
| switch (e.getAction()) { |
| case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE: |
| |
| float dx = x - mPreviousX; |
| float dy = y - mPreviousY; |
| |
| // reverse direction of rotation above the mid-line |
| if (y > getHeight() / 2) { |
| dx = dx * -1 ; |
| } |
| |
| // reverse direction of rotation to left of the mid-line |
| if (x < getWidth() / 2) { |
| dy = dy * -1 ; |
| } |
| |
| mRenderer.mAngle += (dx + dy) * TOUCH_SCALE_FACTOR; |
| requestRender(); |
| } |
| |
| mPreviousX = x; |
| mPreviousY = y; |
| return true; |
| } |
| </pre> |
| <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> Touch events return pixel coordinates which <em>are not the |
| same</em> as OpenGL coordinates. Touch coordinate [0,0] is the bottom-left of the screen and the |
| highest value [max_X, max_Y] is the top-right corner of the screen. To match touch events to OpenGL |
| graphic objects, you must translate touch coordinates into OpenGL coordinates.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li>Run the application and drag your finger or cursor around the screen to rotate the |
| triangle.</li> |
| </ol> |
