A Simple opengl Example of Android using cle

Using common language extension(cle) as interface middleware, you need not care about JNI. The programming may be simple. This example is copied from ndk example hello-gl2 with a small change to use cle.

The C code is as follows:

++ #include "vsopenapi.h"
…
-- bool setupGraphics(int w, int h) {
++ bool setupGraphics(void *object,int w, int h) {
…
}

-- void renderFrame() {
++ void renderFrame(void *object) {
…
}

-- extern "C" {
--    JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_com_android_gl2jni_GL2JNILib_init
		(JNIEnv * env, jobject obj,  jint width, jint height);
--    JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_com_android_gl2jni_GL2JNILib_step
		(JNIEnv * env, jobject obj);
--};

-- JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_com_android_gl2jni_GL2JNILib_init
		(JNIEnv * env, jobject obj,  jint width, jint height)
-- {
--     setupGraphics(width, height);
-- }

-- JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_com_android_gl2jni_GL2JNILib_step(JNIEnv * env, jobject obj)
-- {
--     renderFrame();
-- }

++ VS_BOOL StarCoreService_Init(class ClassOfStarCore *starcore)
++ {
++    void *AtomicClass,*step_AtomicFunction,*init_AtomicFunction;
++    class ClassOfBasicSRPInterface *BasicSRPInterface;
++     class ClassOfSRPInterface *SRPInterface;
++    
++    //--init star core
++    BasicSRPInterface = starcore ->GetBasicInterface();    
++    SRPInterface = BasicSRPInterface ->GetSRPInterface
	(BasicSRPInterface->QueryActiveService(NULL),"","");
++    
++    //---Create Atomic Class, for define function, no attribute 
++    AtomicClass = SRPInterface ->CreateAtomicObjectSimple
		("TestItem","GLTestClass",NULL,NULL,NULL);
++    step_AtomicFunction = SRPInterface ->CreateAtomicFunctionSimple
		(AtomicClass,"step","void step();",NULL,NULL,VS_FALSE,VS_FALSE);
++    init_AtomicFunction = SRPInterface ->CreateAtomicFunctionSimple
		(AtomicClass,"init","VS_BOOL init(VS_INT32 width,VS_INT32 height);",
		NULL,NULL,VS_FALSE,VS_FALSE);
++     //---Set Function Address
++    SRPInterface -> SetAtomicFunction(init_AtomicFunction,(void *)setupGraphics);
++    SRPInterface -> SetAtomicFunction(step_AtomicFunction,(void *)renderFrame);
++    SRPInterface -> Release();
++    return VS_TRUE;
++ }

++ void StarCoreService_Term(class ClassOfStarCore *starcore)
++ {
++    return;
++ }

    private static class Renderer implements GLSurfaceView.Renderer {
        public void onDrawFrame(GL10 gl) {
++            GlObject._Call("step");
        }

        public void onSurfaceChanged(GL10 gl, int width, int height) {
++            GlObject._Call("init",width,height);
        }

        public void onSurfaceCreated(GL10 gl, EGLConfig config) {
            // Do nothing.
        }
}

In more complicated cases, using JNI method will be much more difficult because programmers have to manage references, callbacks, parameter translations. cle provides a powerful and flexible method for Java call other languages such as C/C++.

The following picture is a wrap library for Android of anti-grain geomet, which will be released soon after.
