Android Jogl

Hey Guys,



I have not posted in awhile but i still follow the developement of the project.  Very impressive, I was considering buying one of the new android powered Nexus-One phones for my birthday and I remember seeing one of the Dev's posting some jme on android stuff.  Was wondering if anyone had this code.  Glad to see someone finished the JOGL project, never could figure out the display handler. 

My question is the android gl-es is close to jsr-239 with some changes.  Is there anyone that has information on the subject, does jogl have the opengl-es built in or is it another thing completly.  It's my understanding android supports the full java lib, so it wouldn't be far off to assume with some rendering changes it could run on it.  I know jme 3.0 is going to address it is more for proof of concept.  I want to see how powerful that snapdragon processor is and what can be done with it.  I mean they are releasing a netbook based on the snapdragon chip.



Any information would be greatly helpful.

I don't know what they did with my patches for JME 2.0 but feel free to use them.

The use of JOGL 2 on Android is not as straightforward as on J2ME-enabled mobile phones because Android uses a Dalvik VM instead of a true JVM. However, I'm almost sure it is possible to generate a build of JOGL 2 for Android as it exposes OpenGL-ES through its NDK. Please contact Michael Bien on javagaming.org to check if it is really possible. I need to use JOGL 2 on Android too. If Michael says it requires some work, I may try to give you some help.
