OpenGL ES 2.0 Support for Android?

Question

Does the Android emulator support OpenGL ES 2.0? I've seen some people say "Yes, but you have to change a few settings." and I've also seen "No, it doesn't support it, period." Here's what I've done to try and correct the problem, including some error messages that I got. First, I modified the AndroidManifest.xml to contain the following code: ```

``` Then, when I want to instantiate my GLSurfaceView, I use this sequence of code to instantiate it: ``` super(context); setEGLContextClientVersion(2); setRenderer(new MyRenderer()); setRenderMode(GLSurfaceView.RENDERMODE_WHEN_DIRTY); ``` Then, everywhere I looked said that you must go into the AVD Manager, select the emulator, go to "Hardware", add "GPU emulation" and set the boolean to "yes".

Accepted Answer

I can say Yes on your question. Android emulator supports OpenGL ES 2.0. I created an app with cocos2d-x v.2 (which uses OpenGL ES 2.0). I had same FATAL EXCEPTION: GLThread 81 error with same stack. I solved this issue by adding

```
gLSurfaceView.setEGLConfigChooser(8 , 8, 8, 8, 16, 0);
```

before setting renderer setRenderer:

```
gLSurfaceView.setCocos2dxRenderer(new Cocos2dxRenderer());
```

Now I can run my app on Android emulator.
