Closest thing to Canvas c = new Canvas(GL.createGL())?

Hello android developers, I have a noobish question to ask about OpenGL. I'm not even sure if there is an answer.

The pseudocode below draws on a Bitmap that gets drawn to the screen:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

 
Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap.createBitmap();
 
Canvas bitmapCanvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
 
bitmapCanvas.drawSomething();
 
...
 
canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap);
 
Parsed in 0.065 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

What would be the easiest way to make the drawing take place in openGL?
Something like this would be great, but I'm not too sure how openGL works yet:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

 
GL gl = new GL.createGL();
 
Canvas glCanvas = new Canvas(gl);
 
glCanvas.drawSomething();
 
...
 
canvas.draw(gl);
 
Parsed in 0.065 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

Canvas and opengl are two different beasts.

These is a lot of code how to draw a sprite in opengl. Take a look at http://code.google.com/p/apps-for-android/ a program called SpriteMethodTest. It contains 3 different methods to draw a sprite.

Thanks for the reply. I imported the source for SpriteMethodTest using CVS. When I try running it with eclipse as an Android Applciation, I get an error saying:

An internal error occurred during: "Launching SpriteMethodTest"

The Error Log says:

java.lang.NullPointerException

Hi,

I compiled and ran this app a few weeks ago. No problems at all.

Don't be lazy to debug yourself. Or at least provide a stack trace where the error occurred.

Good luck.

The problem was with my device, it works now though. Thanks
