They never will. Display lists are not supported by OpenGL ES. VBOs are the way to go instead.
Yeah, but I might well emulate display lists with recorded in memory operation lists - or VBO backing or something.

Yeah, noted that the logging was rather insistent. 
Have to check how much work it is to create an app with a nice scrolling map in the background that can be zoomed. Any idea when this will be far enough advanced that one could prototype something like that? Everything I do ends up being a strategy game requiring the scrolling of some huge background map. Or would that sort of thing still be best to do straight in libgdx? I think I really need to do a game-independent implementation of this sometime and OS it - I never find any good examples/tutorials of this kind of thing.
No pressure, of course - but you know, if I don’t ask, I certainly won’t have an answer…
LibGDX is a great library already. Seems like it’d be a good fit for what you want. If you do want to use Slick for the purpose as far as I can see most everything will work - just not been tested on android yet

The libgdx SpriteCache class sort of does this. It uses a VBO and does the bookkeeping for binding various textures. It is good for any static geometry and is currently being used for tile maps (example here). Looks like this…
cache = new SpriteCache();
...
cache.beginCache();
cache.add(texture1, x, y, u, v, ...);
cache.add(textureRegion1, x, y);
cache.add(sprite);
// etc
int handle = cache.endCache();
...
cache.draw(handle);
You can call begin/endCache multiple times to define multiple “handles” in the same VBO. Handles can be redefined individually, or the entire cache can be cleared and redefined.
Did Egon’s fix get into libgdx?
Kev
Not yet. Will include it this weekend. Life is busy
Added your fix. Took some time, was busy with a lot of other stuff. If you happen to run it on a Samsung let me know what AndroidGraphics reports in LogCat. You’ll either want to work from source or use the latest nightlies.
Thanks Egon for the hint!
Thanks all. I’ll update from nightlys asap!
Kev
Slick-AE svn is updated with the new versions, thanks again guys. I’m going to write a new test game to try this stuff out in earnest:

Have you updated that Kitten-game too? Because if so, the fix doesn’t fix it…it’s still “powered” by Pixelflinger.
Not updated yet. I’ll get it tonight hopefully.
Kev
Doesn’t work any more. It’s giving me an IllegalStateException saying that setRenderer has already been called for this Activity.
Oh dear 
Still works elsewhere.
Kev
Yes, most likely. However, the Samsung fix needs a fix…
Haha, i suck. The IllegalStateException should be gone. Whether the config chooser snippet from EgonOlsen fixes the surface creation on the shitty samsung is a different story. Nightlies updated.
