The "normal way" is to use the NDK. There is a separate Google group for that. But if you really need to port a large body of C++ code, that is the way to go. Otherwise you could have to rewrite using the Android Java OpenGL interface, which is basically JSR-239 with some "glue code" for connecting to Android's SurfaceView, the parent class of GLSurfaceView.
See http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/overview.html for more about the NDK. On Apr 23, 5:54 am, Ash McConnell <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Folks, > > I am new to Android coding.
