As long as there is no software renderer that supports OpenGL ES 2.0 which I hope is the case. I did find one interesting piece of information in section 3.8.5 regarding live wallpapers of the Android 2.2 Compatibility Definition: "Hardware is considered capable of reliably running live wallpapers if it can run all live wallpapers, with no limitations on functionality, at a reasonable framerate with no adverse affects on other applications... ...Device implementations capable of running live wallpapers reliably as described above SHOULD implement live wallpapers. Device implementations determined to not run live wallpapers reliably as described MUST NOT implement live wallpapers." So, it might be a solution to require live wallpapers in order to guarantee that some poor device implementations do not ruin the application experience since those devices will probably not support live wallpapers. The only issue is missing out on capable hardware that does not support live wallpapers (for whatever reason). > >Is the solution to add code to the 1.x branch that checks the hardware on > >startup and posts some message that they should download the new 2.x > >branch app instead? > > I think this is a good idea. > > You can figure out if a device supports OpenGL ES 2.0 when it is > started by looking at the EGL configs to see if any support the > EGL_OPENGL_ES2_BIT. Good idea. Assuming I do not use the requirement for live wallpapers I'll do this method.
