I try to initialize GLES with EGL (because I want to draw from the main thread instead of using a Renderer and drawing from inside onDrawFrame). I get the error: "Make sure the SurfaceView or associated SurfaceHolder has a valid Surface". Obviously mEgl.eglCreateWindowSurface fails because surfaceHolder has not a valid surface. How do I get a SurfaceHolder with a valid Surface to proceed?
My Activity.onCreate method is:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); GLSurfaceView surfaceView = new GLSurfaceView(this); setContentView(surfaceView); SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder = surfaceView.getHolder(); Surface surface = surfaceHolder.getSurface(); Log.v("HelloAndroid", "surface.isValid()= " + Boolean.toString(surface.isValid())); EGL10 mEgl = (EGL10) EGLContext.getEGL(); EGLDisplay mEglDisplay = mEgl.eglGetDisplay(EGL10.EGL_DEFAULT_DISPLAY); int[] version = new int[2]; mEgl.eglInitialize(mEglDisplay, version); EGLConfig[] configs = new EGLConfig[1]; int[] num_config = new int[1]; int[] configSpec = { EGL10.EGL_NONE }; mEgl.eglChooseConfig(mEglDisplay, configSpec, configs, 1, num_config); EGLConfig mEglConfig = configs[0]; EGLContext mEglContext = mEgl.eglCreateContext(mEglDisplay, mEglConfig, EGL10.EGL_NO_CONTEXT, null); EGLSurface mEglSurface = null; Log.v("HelloAndroid", "M"); mEglSurface = mEgl.eglCreateWindowSurface(mEglDisplay, mEglConfig, surfaceHolder, null); Log.v("HelloAndroid", "N"); mEgl.eglMakeCurrent(mEglDisplay, mEglSurface, mEglSurface, mEglContext); Log.v("HelloAndroid", "O"); }
The log output I get with platform-tools/adb logcat is:
V/HelloAndroid( 1861): surface.isValid()= false D/libEGL ( 1861): egl.cfg not found, using default config D/libEGL ( 1861): loaded /system/lib/egl/libGLES_android.so V/HelloAndroid( 1861): M D/AndroidRuntime( 1861): Shutting down VM W/dalvikvm( 1861): threadid=3: thread exiting with uncaught exception (group=0x4001b188) E/AndroidRuntime( 1861): Uncaught handler: thread main exiting due to uncaught exception E/AndroidRuntime( 1861): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.example.helloandroid/com.example.helloandroid.HelloAndroid}: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Make sure the SurfaceView or associated SurfaceHolder has a valid Surface E/AndroidRuntime( 1861): at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:2496)
Any help is appreciated.
