Hi, GLSurfaceView creates a thread for you. This is the thread that calls your renderer's onDrawFrame(). You must call glGenTextures, or any other gl-command for that matter, only from this thread. GLSurfaceView automatically calls onSurfaceChanged (and onSurfaceCreated) for you from this thread, this is why your glGenTextures calls work.
On of the facilities GLSurfaceView gives you is the 'queueEvent' method, to queue runnables for execution on the GL thread. If you don't want to use the queue (which might be wasteful), you can simply raise a flag, and make you onDrawFrame query that flag, and create textures as necessary.
