I'm implementing the GLSurfaceView.Renderer like so:
public class GL20Renderer implements GLSurfaceView.Renderer {
private static GL20Renderer mInstance = new GL20Renderer();
private GL20Renderer() {}
public static GL20Renderer getInstance() {
return mInstance;
}
@Override
public void onDrawFrame(GL10 gl) {
Log.e("App", "onDrawFrame()");
}
@Override
public void onSurfaceChanged(GL10 gl, int width, int height) {
Log.e("App", "onSurfaceChanged()");
}
@Override
public void onSurfaceCreated(GL10 gl, EGLConfig config) {
Log.e("App", "onSurfaceCreated()");
}
}
This class is implemented in the MainActivity:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private GLSurfaceView mGLView;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
// Create a GLSurfaceView instance and set it as the ContentView for this Activity
mGLView = new GL20SurfaceView(this);
setContentView(mGLView);
}
@Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
mGLView.onPause();
}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
mGLView.onResume();
}
}
GL20SurfaceView is:
public class GL20SurfaceView extends GLSurfaceView {
public GL20SurfaceView(Context context) {
super(context);
// Create an OpenGL ES 2.0 context.
setEGLContextClientVersion(2);
// Set the Renderer for drawing on the GLSurfaceView
setRenderer(GL20Renderer.getInstance());
}
}
Very simple as you can see. When I now start the App, the onSurfaceCreated() method is correctly called, follow by one call of onSurfaceChanged().
Problem now is: Whenever the device orientation changes, I get another call of onSurfaceCreated() followed by onSurfaceChanged().
In my understanding, the onSurfaceCreated() method is called whenever a new surface needs to be created. My question is: Why does it do that whenever I change just the device orientation? Shouldn't it be sufficient that only a onSurfaceChanged() call is triggered in order to adjust the viewport?
Note that I don't put my device to sleep when changing the orientation.
