Android Section

Could we have an Android subforum. The J2ME one fell down because coding for J2ME wasn’t really similar to coding on the desktop - hence there were lots of other specialised forums as big as JGO. However, Android development is pretty similar to desktop stuff and we’ll probably see more and more us wanting to go that way.

+1. I would instantly post a question about why this f*!%&"%g new Android phone doesn’t do 3D hardware acceleration…

And I would, almost as instantly, reply saying it does Open GL ES, what more do you want?

No, it doesn’t. At least not in hardware. It does software rendering all the way. According to another thread, there is no hardware OpenGL ES support even in the native NDK, so it’s not in the VM either. All the demos that support it seem to use their own libraries for this.

PS. This would be a really good conversation to have in the Android forum, you’re right.
