I am migrating an app that draws on OpenGL ES 1.0 to OpenGL ES 2.0.

The app used to draw multiple 2D triangles, as a vertex array, where the vertices matched the pixels on screen.

I made a sample project to reproduce the problem.

The data

static ShortBuffer provideData() {
    final ByteBuffer data = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(12 * BYTES_PER_SHORT);
    data.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder());

    final ShortBuffer floatData = data.asShortBuffer();
    floatData.put(new short[]{
            351, 22, 361, 22, 361, 32, 351, 22, 351, 32, 361, 32
    });

    return floatData;
}

OpenGL 1.0: works as expected:

final class FirstGenRenderer implements GLSurfaceView.Renderer {

    private static final int VERTICES_PER_PARTICLE = 6;

    private final ShortBuffer coordinates = DataProvider.provideData();

    @Override
    public void onSurfaceCreated(GL10 gl, EGLConfig config) {
        gl.glMatrixMode(GL10.GL_PROJECTION);
        gl.glLoadIdentity();

        final int color = Color.DKGRAY;
        gl.glClearColor(
                Color.red(color) / 255f,
                Color.green(color) / 255f,
                Color.blue(color) / 255f, 0f);

        final int particleColor = Color.WHITE;
        gl.glColor4f(
                Color.red(particleColor) / 255f,
                Color.green(particleColor) / 255f,
                Color.blue(particleColor) / 255f, 0f);
    }

    @Override
    public void onSurfaceChanged(GL10 gl, int width, int height) {
        gl.glViewport(0, 0, width, height);
        gl.glOrthof(0, width, 0, height, 1, -1);
    }

    @Override
    public void onDrawFrame(GL10 gl) {
        gl.glClear(GL10.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL10.GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
        gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);

        coordinates.position(0);

        gl.glVertexPointer(2, GL10.GL_SHORT, 0, coordinates);
        gl.glDrawArrays(GL10.GL_TRIANGLES, 0, VERTICES_PER_PARTICLE);

        gl.glDisableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
    }
}

The output: clear color and a small white square at the bottom enter image description here

The same implementation on GL 2.0: does not produce desired results:

        }
    }
}

The output: a clear color.

Expected output: as with GLES10, above.

  • \$\begingroup\$ Once a shader is bound any time you call glDrawArray/Elements the shader program is used automatically. Have you made sure your vertex structure is compatible? \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ To clarify your vertex shader only expects the vertex position. So if your mesh has more attributes ( uv, color, etc ) the data wouldn't make sense and whatever you see on screen probably looks botched. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ I highly recommend you use an android graphics debugger If you have android 7 or higher renderdoc is an excellent contender. You can actually see how your quads are transformed. \$\endgroup\$

I have accidentally copy-pasted GL_FLOAT instead of GL_SHORT for my glVertexAttribPointer.

GLES20.glVertexAttribPointer(
    positionHandle,
    COORDINATES_PER_VERTEX,
    GLES20.GL_FLOAT, // With the sample data, SHOULD BE GL_SHORT
    false,
    0,
    coordinates);
