I am looking for a way to draw text on EGLTexture using Skia library in C/C++. I am planning to run a program that does it on Android platform during bootup before SurfaceFlinger comes up.
Please don't point me to Android Java examples as that is not what I am looking for. I am troubleshooting UI issue at frame buffer level. I am looking for a way to do this in C/C++ using Android native libs (Skia etc).
I have a sample program that can render an image using SkBitmap onto EGLTexture. I was able to display it on monitor. I followed same example and came up with a strategy like this. But it doesn't work though.
0) Clear the screen with green color
1) Create SkBitmap of size 640x480.
2) Create EGLTexture backed by the pixel buffer returned by SkBitmap.lockPixels()
3) Draw text on SkBitmap using SkCanvas. Upload the bitmap into the above texture.
4) Then draw the texture on current surface
I used boot animation program (of android) as my starting point for this.
When I ran this program, all I am seeing is green color. I checked for errors of EGL calls. They all seem to succeed. Thanks for your help
