android-openGL-canvas is a lightweight OpenGL rendering library for Android that emulates the Android Canvas API using OpenGL ES 2.0. It’s designed for developers who want to achieve hardware-accelerated 2D graphics on Android while maintaining the familiar Canvas drawing commands. Ideal for real-time graphics, games, or custom views, this project provides a fast and flexible alternative to Android’s software rendering without the need for a full game engine. It bridges the gap between low-level graphics APIs and high-level UI rendering.
Features
- OpenGL ES 2.0 backend for hardware-accelerated 2D drawing
- Drop-in replacement for Android Canvas methods
- Fast performance for animations and dynamic UIs
- Text rendering support using font bitmaps
- Draw shapes, images, and paths with OpenGL acceleration
- Compatible with Android’s View system
- Custom shader support for advanced effects
- Matrix transformations and scaling for 2D objects
- Touch and gesture integration for interactive UIs
