It is subset of OpenGL Computer graphics API for rendering 2D and 3D computer graphics particularly focusing on Hardware Accelerated using GPU. It is used in embedded systems like Smartphones (iPhone, Android Phones), Tablets (iPad, Android Tablets), Video game Consoles (Xbox, Play Station) and PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). Due to it openness and cross platform support, it is quite popular as well as most used graphics API in Smartphone and Tablets. In this post we are going to know programically if Android Device Supports OpenGL ES 2.0 . This is tutorial for OpenGL ES Android Programming . To check if Android Device Supports OpenGL ES 2.0 or not we are going to use very simple code. Let’s get started with it. Prerequisite For this our OpenGL ES Android tutorial it is assumed that you basic level of Java and Android Programming. It is also assumed that you are familiar with OpenGL as well.
