No EGLConfig found

[alexandernst]

I just switched to the new GLES2 version of AndEngine, cloned all the repos and ran the AndEngineExamples demo.

I get to see the list with the available demos inside the application, but choosing any of the demos just throws this error on the console:

12-24 18:09:07.093: D/libEGL(280): egl.cfg not found, using default config

Why is that? How can I fix it?

Hi,

what device are you on?

Hi. I tried the examples using Android 2.2, 2.3.3 and 4.0 emulator, and also on a HTC Desire HD with Cyanogen7. All of them throw the same error.

Hi,

the emulator isn't supported.
It does work on my stock nexus (vanilla android 2.3.6). I don't know what Cyanogen would do differently. :S

Best Regards,

By "emulator" you mean the Android virtual machine/device that launches from eclipse? Because that's what I'm using to test my games. Isn't that supported?

[alexandernst]

Just to be sure, I deleted everything related with AndEngine from Eclipse, then I restarted it and cloned again all the repos. After cloning everything the only thing that I changed was the Java Compiler Compilance from 1.7 to 1.6 for each of the repos, and I also created a "res" folder in the project that were missing that folder.

So far I had no errors (just some warnings about unused vars, etc...) and I tried to lauch the AndEngine Examples using a 2.3.3 AVD. I got the same result.

The emulator only allows GLES 1 as far as i know.

I have a San Francisco with Cynogen and all the examples work fine for me.

Have you tried building the Jar for each Repo, as i documented in the Announcement thread, that is how i got mine to work.

[alexandernst]

Yes, I gat all the jar's and I can run the AndEngine demo on my phone, so I see the demos inside. I mean, I see the "Text" category, the "Sound" category, the "Psychics" category, etc... but when I pick any of the demos I get that error. That happens with all the examples in all the devices I tested.

And as I said, I don't get any errors in Eclipse (so, everything is apparently fine).

Hm, sounds like yet another reason not to use a modded device.

I just updated the ConfigChooser with a multipass approach, loosening the config to possible at least a not so suitable one.

The emulator is the only way I have to test multiple resolutions

There is another way to test multiple resolutions?? or there is any way to run the emulator using GLES2??
