Android, OpenGL ES 3.0, GPU

Previously, I've posted OpenCL GPU supported. You can see that mobile GPU is going to be more powerful and more efficient.
When investigating the OpenGL related information, I found that OpenGL ES 3.0 is started to be supported by many GPU vendors. Also, Android 4.3 is released with OpenGL ES 3.0.
Before you are going to creating OpenGL ES 3.0 app, first, you have to know which mobile GPUs that support OpenGL ES 3.0.
Below is the list that I found, also with the chip:

  1. Imageon Adreno 300 series
  2. Mali T-600 series
  3. PowerVR Series 6 (Rogue)
  4. Tegra 4 (WhitePaper PDF)

Please let me know if you know more.
Thanks for watching :)

Play video inside OpenGL ES by using MediaCodec

In Android 4.1 (API 16) and above, MediaCodec is introduced by Android. By using MediaCodec, we can easily decode video without using Android NDK, like creating video playback application, etc. In game development, video is also needed to make the game environment more realistics, like when you are playing a racing game with video banner around the track. In here, I'll introduce of how to decode the video and render it into OpenGL ES. Firstly, we prepare some stuffs to decode the video, like MediaExtractor and MediaCodec. private boolean initExtractor() { extractor = new MediaExtractor(); try { extractor.setDataSource(mFilePath); } catch (IOException e) { return false; } // get video track for (int i = 0; i < extractor.getTrackCount(); i++) { MediaFormat format = extractor.getTrackFormat(i); String mime = format.getString(MediaFormat.KEY_MIME); if (mime.startsWith("video/")) { ...
