When upgrading a Nexus 6 from Android 5.1.1 to Android 6, the JavaFX 3D stopped working. The relevant error is this:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Error creating fragment shader in com.sun.prism.es2.ES2Shader.createFromSource The shader compilation failed with this error: GLSL compile error: Extension directives must occur before any non-preprocessor tokens. which occurs in When debugging this, it seems the fragment shader passed to glCtx.compileShader is created by ES2PhongShader.getShader() which starts from main1Light.frag and which will do a replaceAll for a number of statements which will replace those statements with other shader code that also contains an #extension directive. As a result, the resulting shader source contains a number of identical #extension directives. It seems the latest drivers on Android are much more strict in compiling shaders, and they complain about the position of the extension directives. It seems to me some post-processing needs to be done on the result of the replaceAll() statements when creating the fragment shader in ES2PhongShader.getShader(ES2MeshView meshView, ES2Context context) I did a quick and dirty workaround for this in the 8u-dev-tree on javafxports: https://bitbucket.org/javafxports/8u-dev-rt/commits/a84eb188c73ff60b68c016f14b6ebf85449a6bbe With this patch, JavaFX 3D works again on Android, but it is not the best post-processing solution. Another solution might be to remove the extension directives from the individual files in glsl and add them at the end of the processing chain? - Johan
