hi!
i'm just a little confused - is the SurfaceView with opengl/egl attached not OpenGl all the way? You are saying this is somewhere in between opengl and android's canvas stuff? is there a way to use opengl directly, without SurfaceView, that would make it all faster? if so, please let me know! thanks!
