Applying rotation to GLSurfaceView

I am attempting to use a GLSurfaceView to render output from Camera2. It works OK when the device is in portrait mode, however when rotating to landscape, of course the picture is "sideways".
I've done a bit of looking around as to how to apply rotation to the output, however there seems to be a multitude of different ways, and I was hoping there would be a simple one that would fit into mine.
This is an abridged version of my GLSurfaceView descendant:
public class DWGLCameraView extends GLSurfaceView implements Renderer, OnFrameAvailableListener {
// Other parts snipped
public void onDrawFrame(GL10 gl) {
mSurfaceTexture.updateTexImage();
float[] mtx = new float[16];
mSurfaceTexture.getTransformMatrix(mtx);
// Can I do something here to apply the rotation?
mDrawer.draw(mtx);
}
}
..and this (if it helps), is the draw routine DWGLDrawer class:

As per my comment in onDrawFrame, I figured that I might be able to apply rotation there. I had tried this:
if (mRotation > 0)
Matrix.rotateM(mtx, 0, mRotation, 0f, 0f, -1f);
(mRotation is the rotation value in degrees)
however that resulted in an unintelligible picture, so I assume that it's completely wrong, or there's something else I need to do
Please remember that I am using Camera2, so setDisplayOrientation (from Camera) is not an option
EDIT
I've now included the entire declaration for DWGLDrawer, and added to the description

In general, your approach should be correct (assuming mRotation is in degrees and is based on something like Display.getRotation() to determine your UI orientation - note that getRotation doesn't return degrees so the value has to be adjusted).
However, you don't have your shader code here, so it's hard to say if you're using mTransformLocation in a way that's compatible with the rotateM call you use. So probably you just need to debug the values you see for the matrix, what the rotate call does, and so on, to figure out where the math goes haywire. Unfortunately common for dealing with transforms in EGL (or anywhere, really).

Projection issue - Drawing text and square

I'm trying to draw text and a square with OpenGL ES 2.0.
Each one could be in any position.
But so far I can only see one of them depending on the projection mode I choose :
I only see the square if I use "Matrix.setLookAtM" to make the camera (0, -3, 0) look at (0, 0, 0)
I only see the text if I use "Matrix.orthoM" to have an orthogonal projection
cf code from "Texample2Renderer.java" at the bottom.
I would like to see both, how is it possible ? I was thinking about modifying the Square class to make it work with the orthogonal projection Mode, but I have no idea how to do this.
For the text, I'm using this code (there's a lot of code, so I prefer to post the repo):
https://github.com/d3alek/Texample2
And for the square, I'm using this code :
public class Square {
// number of coordinates per vertex in this array
static final int COORDS_PER_VERTEX = 3;
static float squareCoords[] = {
-0.5f, 0.5f, 0.0f, // top left

0.5f, -0.5f, 0.0f, // bottom right
0.5f, 0.5f, 0.0f}; // top right

// This matrix member variable provides a hook to manipulate
// the coordinates of the objects that use this vertex shader

I've just modified the code in Texample2Renderer.java to draw a square. I also added a boolean to switch between projection modes.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks a lot in advance !

Try to reverse the order of vertices in your square cords:
static float squareCoords[] = {
0.5f, 0.5f, 0.0f}; // top right
0.5f, -0.5f, 0.0f, // bottom right
-0.5f, -0.5f, 0.0f, // bottom left
-0.5f, 0.5f, 0.0f, // top left
Its propably facing other direction then your camera is

Actually I just needed to scale up the square, and it worked with orthogonal projection. Since the square size was "1", it was almost not visible.

Triangle not visible OpenGLES2.0 android

Hello Guys I am Beginner to OpenGL,
I am Trying to follow android developers tutorials . But I am not able to see the Triangle.
What is wrong;
I tried to create a triangle on surface created and called draw method inseide onDraw of Renderer class .

"}";
private FloatBuffer vertexBuffer;
// number of coordinates per vertex in this array

You are missing code to setup a projection matrix and viewport. You also need to call glSwapBuffers(), unless you are using GLSurfaceView, which does that for you. You can use an ortho projection for simplicity, and it should be multiplied by each vPosition in your vertex shader.
This is how you can use and construct a projection matrix:
Ortho(-1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, -1.0f);
glUniformMatrix4fv(iProjectionMatrixLocation, 1, GL_FALSE, (const GLfloat *)&m_mViewProj);
glViewport(0, 0, m_iWidth, m_iHeight);
...
// Construct a matrix for an orthographic projection view.
void Button::Ortho(float left, float top, float right, float bottom, float nearPlane, float farPlane)
{
float rcplmr = 1.0f / (left - right);
float rcpbmt = 1.0f / (bottom - top);
float rcpnmf = 1.0f / (nearPlane - farPlane);
m_mViewProj.f0 = -2.0f * rcplmr;
m_mViewProj.f1 = 0.0f;
m_mViewProj.f2 = 0.0f;
m_mViewProj.f3 = 0.0f;
m_mViewProj.f4 = 0.0f;
m_mViewProj.f5 = -2.0f * rcpbmt;
m_mViewProj.f6 = 0.0f;
m_mViewProj.f7 = 0.0f;
m_mViewProj.f8 = 0.0f;
m_mViewProj.f9 = 0.0f;
m_mViewProj.f10 = -2.0f * rcpnmf;
m_mViewProj.f11 = 0.0f;
m_mViewProj.f12 = (right + left) * rcplmr;
m_mViewProj.f13 = (top + bottom) * rcpbmt;
m_mViewProj.f14 = (nearPlane + farPlane) * rcpnmf;
m_mViewProj.f15 = 1.0f;
}

Simple translation with opengl es 2.0 on Android

I've look everywhere to understand how to translate shapes with openGl es 2.0 but I can't find the right way. Rotation and scaling work fine.
I tried it with the android openGl es 2.0 tutorial but the shape is more distorded than translated.

I think it's related with the vertex shader code but I can't figure it out?

I am doing the translation of the matrix within the onDrawFrame method of the Renderer, so my code looks like this:
// Set the camera position (View matrix)
Matrix.setLookAtM(mViewMatrixS, 0, 0, 0, -3, 0f, 0f, 0f, 0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
//translate the Matrix
Matrix.translateM(mViewMatrixS, 0, 2f, 1f, 0);
// Calculate the projection and view transformation
Matrix.multiplyMM(mMVPMatrixS, 0, mProjectionMatrix, 0, mViewMatrixS, 0);
// Draw square
mSquare.draw(mMVPMatrix);
And this does the job of translating my shape correctly. I don't know if this was the problem.

I find the answer on this post: Is Google's Android OpenGL tutorial teaching incorrect linear algebra?
Just invert uMVPMatrix and vPosition in the vertexShaderCode string to:
" gl_Position = uMVPMatrix * vPosition;"

The following link contains the answer. Took over a day to locate it. Posting here to help others as I seen this post many times. OpenGL ES Android Matrix Transformations
Android exmaple project was wrong and has just been updated finally. FYI.

You might be seeing the distortion because of the perspective camera. Try reducing the distance you translate the objects by.

All of my matrix functions are not working? OpenGL ES 2.0

I am trying to make a projection matrix scaling the screen and making a coordination system. For some reason I don't think any of my matrix calling is working... the 3 function I am using are
Matrix.orthoM(mProjMatrix, 0, 0, 1520, 0, 1000, -1, 10);
Matrix.setLookAtM(mVMatrix, 0, 0, 0, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0f, 0f, 0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
Matrix.multiplyMM(mMVPMatrix, 0, mProjMatrix, 0, mVMatrix, 0);
Are they canceling each other out? anything wrong with it? (the full rendering class code is at the end)
My main goal in doing this is eventually getting to a situation where when I make a square, I could provide coordinates such as (200, 100,0) //x, y, z which are not only between -1 and 1.
Here is my full rendering class:
public class MyRenderer implements Renderer {
private static final String TAG = "MyRenderer";
Square square;
private final float[] mMVPMatrix = new float[16];
private final float[] mProjMatrix = new float[16];
private final float[] mVMatrix = new float[16];
private final float[] mRotationMatrix = new float[16];
private int camWidth,camHeight;
#Override
public void onSurfaceCreated(GL10 gl, EGLConfig config) {
GLES20.glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.5f);
camWidth=480;camHeight=320;
// initialize a square
square = new Square();
}
#Override
public void onDrawFrame(GL10 nope) {
GLES20.glClear(GLES20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GLES20.GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
//set camera position
GLES20.glViewport(0, 0, camWidth, camHeight);
Matrix.orthoM(mProjMatrix, 0, 0, 1520, 0, 1000, -10, 999999);
Matrix.setLookAtM(mVMatrix, 0, 0, 0, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0f, 0f, 0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
Matrix.multiplyMM(mMVPMatrix, 0, mProjMatrix, 0, mVMatrix, 0);
square.draw(mMVPMatrix);
}
#Override
public void onSurfaceChanged(GL10 nope, int width, int height) {
GLES20.glViewport(0, 0, camWidth, camHeight);
Matrix.orthoM(mProjMatrix, 0, 0, 1520, 0, 1000, -10, 999999);
Matrix.setLookAtM(mVMatrix, 0, 0, 0, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0f, 0f, 0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
}
public static int loadShader(int type, String shaderCode) {
// create a vertex shader type (GLES20.GL_VERTEX_SHADER)
// or a fragment shader type (GLES20.GL_FRAGMENT_SHADER)
int shader = GLES20.glCreateShader(type);
// add the source code to the shader and compile it
GLES20.glShaderSource(shader, shaderCode);
GLES20.glCompileShader(shader);
return shader;
}
}
My Square class (wasn't sure if needed or not, but just to be safe :) ) -

"void main() {" +
" gl_Position = vPosition;" +
"}";

+ "uniform vec4 vColor;" + "void main() {"
+ " gl_FragColor = vColor;" + "}";
static final int COORDS_PER_VERTEX = 3;
static float triangleCoords[] = { // in counterclockwise order:
-0.5f, 0.5f, 0.0f, // top left
-0.5f, -0.5f, 0.0f, // bottom left
0.5f, -0.5f, 0.0f, // bottom right
0.5f, 0.5f, 0.0f
};
private short drawOrder[] = { 0, 1, 2, 0, 2, 3 };
private final int vertexCount = triangleCoords.length / COORDS_PER_VERTEX;
private final int vertexStride = COORDS_PER_VERTEX * 4; // bytes per vertex
// red-green-blue-alpha
float color[] = { 0.63f, 0.76f, 0.22f, 1.0f };
private final int mProgram;
private int mPositionHandle;
private int mColorHandle;
private int mMVPMatrixHandle;
private FloatBuffer vertexBuffer;
private ShortBuffer drawListBuffer;
public Square() {
ByteBuffer bb = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(
// # of coords values * 4 bytes per float
triangleCoords.length * 4);
// use native byte order
bb.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder());
// create a floating point buffer from the ByteBuffer
vertexBuffer = bb.asFloatBuffer();
// add coordination to FloatBuffer
vertexBuffer.put(triangleCoords);
// set the buffer to read first coordinate
vertexBuffer.position(0);
ByteBuffer dlb = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(drawOrder.length * 2);
dlb.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder());
drawListBuffer = dlb.asShortBuffer();
drawListBuffer.put(drawOrder);
drawListBuffer.position(0);
int vertexShader = ChizRenderer.loadShader(GLES20.GL_VERTEX_SHADER,
vertexShaderCode);
int fragmentShader = ChizRenderer.loadShader(GLES20.GL_FRAGMENT_SHADER,
fragmentShaderCode);
mProgram = GLES20.glCreateProgram();
GLES20.glAttachShader(mProgram, vertexShader);
GLES20.glAttachShader(mProgram, fragmentShader);
GLES20.glLinkProgram(mProgram);
}
public void draw(float[] mvpMatrix) {
// Add program to OpenGL ES environment
GLES20.glUseProgram(mProgram);
// get handle to vertex shader's vPosition member
mPositionHandle = GLES20.glGetAttribLocation(mProgram, "vPosition");
// Enable a handle to the triangle vertices
GLES20.glEnableVertexAttribArray(mPositionHandle);
// Prepare the triangle coordinate data
GLES20.glVertexAttribPointer(mPositionHandle, COORDS_PER_VERTEX,
GLES20.GL_FLOAT, false, vertexStride, vertexBuffer);
// get handle to fragment shader's vColor member
mColorHandle = GLES20.glGetUniformLocation(mProgram, "vColor");
// set color for drawing the triangle
GLES20.glUniform4fv(mColorHandle, 1, color, 0);
// get handle to shape's transformation matrix
mMVPMatrixHandle = GLES20.glGetUniformLocation(mProgram, "uMVPMatrix");
// apply the projection and view transformation
GLES20.glUniformMatrix4fv(mMVPMatrixHandle, 1, false, mvpMatrix, 0);
// Draw the triangle
GLES20.glDrawElements(GLES20.GL_TRIANGLES, drawOrder.length,
GLES20.GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, drawListBuffer);
// dispable vertex array
GLES20.glDisableVertexAttribArray(mPositionHandle);
}
}
And lastly, just so you could have some visuals:
This is how it looks on my phone with and without the three metrix functions mentioned before, it also seems that the only thing that did make any change with the width and height was GLES20.glViewport(0, 0, camWidth, camHeight);
It seems as if the metrix is doing nothing.

Looks like you adapted the sample to a square. Couple of issues here:
Call glViewPort only in onSurfaceChanged and only with the parameters given.
The vertex shader code does not use uMVPMatrix. You'd've seen this by checking the value of mMVPMatrixHandle (it's -1 for uniforms that don't exist, see here).
After the program has been linked, the locations of the shader variables are fixed, so the code may fetch them once, and not for every draw call.
Then, you'll need to adapt the coordinates of the square...
