ERROR in Android - Devices not supporting OpenGL2.0(also TextField is not displayed)

SatheeshJM

I keep getting this error in my HTC Wildfire.

05-<span class="nu0">25</span> 06:<span class="nu0">56</span>:<span class="nu0">56.162</span>: E<span class="sy0">/</span>libEGL<span class="br0">&#40;</span><span class="nu0">6802</span><span class="br0">&#41;</span>: called unimplemented OpenGL ES API<span class="sy0"></</span>code &nbsp; &nbsp; Apparently this <span class="kw1">error</span> occurs when OpenGL2.0 is <span class="kw1">not</span> supported according to this link http:<span class="sy0">//</span>stackoverflow.com<span class="sy0">/</span>questions<span class="sy0">/</span><span class="nu0">5926316</span><span class="sy0">/</span>android-gles20-called-unimplemented-opengl-es-api. &nbsp; Is that the reason?

OK! It seems openGL ES 2.0 was available only in 2.2+ devices.
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/OpenGL_ES#Use

So the next question is, Which are the features which won't be available for OpenGL ES 1.0 and 1.1 devices? I mean, it is one thing if the application is incompatible, but another thing if half of the features don't display.

Hi,

Currently we're using only OpenGL ES 1.1 and wait for 2.0 to dominate the market: http://developer.android.com/resources/dashboard/opengl.html

I've done some research about HTC Wildfire and found these: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7020324/what-version-of-opengl-does-htc-wildfire-support It seems HTC Wildfire doesn't have an GPU and have only the software implementation of OpenGL ES 1.0.

Also now I'm adding the line

<uses-feature android:glEsVersion="0x00010001" />

to AndroidManifest.xml so that these old OpenGL ES 1.0 devices won't be any problem.

SatheeshJM

Oh! Good to know ES1.1 is supported! This is gr8 news! >:D<
Thanks for the clarification!

So we should add that line to the manifest ourselves until the next version?

Orlando

How Do insert the line into
AndroidManifest.xml???

Please

fxone

@Orlando Add line under Eclipse or any coders editor (even text editor) :-B

@Orlando :- this is a very old thread and most likely that line must be in manifest file currently.

hgvyas123

ok chked after export that line is already there so no need to edit

Orlando

exscuse me...I'm a dunce in this matter. Could you guide me ? Help me...I bought wildfire yesterday and I'm let down!

@orlando

so do you have eclipse and android sdk installed in your system?

if yes you need to import project in eclipse and then simply right click on that and you will be ready to run on your device assuming you had set option for allow non market apps and android debugging.(go to system settings ------> developer option -----> chk android debugging)

@Orlando it should be helpful:

hgvyas123

ohh yes if you are currently in development mode go with fxone's method so for now you dont need eclipse and android sdk
