glGetString(GL_VERSION) returns “OpenGL ES-CM 1.1” but my phone supports OpenGL 2

Question

I\'m trying to make an NDK based OpenGL application. At some point in my code, I want to check the OpenGL version available on the device.

I\'m using the following code

Answer 1

Thanks to the hints given by mstorsjo, I managed to have the correct initialisation code, shown here if other people struggle with this.

const EGLint attrib_list[] = {
        // this specifically requests an Open GL ES 2 renderer
        EGL_RENDERABLE_TYPE, EGL_OPENGL_ES2_BIT, 
        // (ommiting other configs regarding the color channels etc...
        EGL_NONE
};

EGLConfig config;
EGLint num_configs;
eglChooseConfig(display, attrib_list, &config, 1, &num_configs);

// ommiting other codes 

const EGLint context_attrib_list[] = { 
        // request a context using Open GL ES 2.0
        EGL_CONTEXT_CLIENT_VERSION, 2, 
        EGL_NONE 
};
EGLContext context = eglCreateContext(display, config, NULL, context_attrib_list);
