I shouldn't be so demanding. I love you,
Eclipse, I really do, except when you crash or that time you deleted
every source file in my project with nary a warning.
Thanks again!

I admit I have pretty much given up on all the android string
formatting, as just being too painfully slow to use during the game
itself. I'm actually not using many views any more either, though
that's probably just an overreaction on my part. I basically have one
view (once the game starts) and

that is, it works great when the phone is on wifi.
But when the phone is on 3G, the socket connection times out.

But maybe I should also look at the firewall logs on that server to
see what it says (I am of the opinion that it will accept connections
from anyone, but opinion is often not fact)

Sorry if this has been covered, but I have been googling for 3 hours
with no success, so here goes.
Please assume that while being new to android, I believe I know the
basics and have successfully published a nice graphical game (Tairu).
I know about inflating an xml layout and instantiating views
So, having spent the obligatory five hours trying to figure out how
android wanted me to do it (other than just "don't do that!"), I ended
up writing this bit of code to do what I actually WANTED.
It's not too bad except for the one section which needs to be made a
lot more efficient.

So, I've been a good boy (I think) and used ByteBuffers (and
ShortBuffers and IntBuffers etc) for all the vertex lists and textures
I feed to GLES.
But can someone point me to the basic architecture of the 'typical'
mobile GPU (or, I guess, the OpenVR Droid GPU at least). For example,

So I am a lazybones using GLSurfaceView and loving it. But now that
my code is running too darn fast (heh), I would like to slow it down
via setting eglSwapInterval to 2 or something. Just to be nice to the
battery.
But, being a lazybones, I can find no way of doing this when using
GLSurfaceView
My apologies if this is a stupid question...
Might I get a net frame rate improvement if I did something like this:
* create an FBO of resolution less than the full phone screen
dimensions (user-selected quality vs speed option)
* do most of my scene rendering into that FBO
* then the 'real' (ful

I'm pretty sure the fill rate I save with the smaller render target is
lost with the render of the background quad with that texture on it.
Perhaps if I had a clever way to jam the texture (and stretch it
nicely) into the colorBuffer directly...

I've been using SoundPool for awhile now with no issues to speak of,
but I recently added my first 'looped' sound, which led to the use of
pause/resume.
My problem is that while this works
streamId = play(...) // loop = -1
...
pause( streamId )
..
resume( streamId )
Any chance this could be the result of the source texture not having
power-of-two dimensions? I believe support for non-binary dimensions
can vary from phone to phone. To be pedantic, I mean the source image
for the texture should be 256x256, 512x256, 256x128, etc, and not
417x203 etc.

This is probably not helpful, but:
* did you mean to have the loop value of -1? (infinite looping sound)
* can you try triggering the sound later, after the load has had a
chance to complete (I believe the sound samples load asynchronously,
but cannot be played until the samples are all squared a
nations I can think of feel like they should be equally

Just wanted to add my vote for MAT being a life-saver.

For what it's worth, I started having the identical problem this
evening, after changing my app to use API4 instead of API3 (where the
glGenTextures() was working fine)

At first I th

so... I have a simple terrain mesh which, generally speaking, works

But as I walk around, occasionally, from some camera angles, a
triangle of that mesh is clearly being rendered incorrectly. As if
