diffuse lighting shader in OpenGL ES on android not wroking

i just spend my whole day trying to figur out, how to get diffuse lighting in opengl to run. for some reason, my model aka a simple cube just stays completely black, when i use the diffuse Shader. this is the VertexShader(just ignore the lines until gl_Position, those are for my own projektion algotythm and the only important things in here are the v_Position the v_Normal, which are basicly just the position and the normal after all the transforms like for example rotation):
#version 300 es
in vec3 aPos;
in vec3 normal;
uniform vec4 vm;
uniform vec4 aColor;
out vec3 v_Position;
out vec4 v_Color;
out vec3 v_Normal;
void main()
{
vec3 lightPos = vec3(2.0f, 2.0f, 3.0f);
float x2 = (aPos.x * cos(vm.y) - (aPos.z) * sin(vm.y));
float z2 = ((aPos.x * sin(vm.y) + (aPos.z) * cos(vm.y))) + 7.0f;
float y2 = (aPos.y * cos(vm.z) - (z2 - 7.0f) * sin(vm.z));
float z3 = ((aPos.y * sin(vm.z) + (z2 - 7.0f) * cos(vm.z))) + 7.0f;
float nx2 = (normal.x * cos(vm.y) - (normal.z) * sin(vm.y));
float nz2 = ((normal.x * sin(vm.y) + (normal.z) * cos(vm.y))) + 7.0f;
float ny2 = (normal.y * cos(vm.z) - (nz2 - 7.0f) * sin(vm.z));
float nz3 = ((normal.y * sin(vm.z) + (nz2 - 7.0f) * cos(vm.z))) + 7.0f;
float dst = sqrt((x2 * x2) + (y2 * y2) + (z3 * z3));
gl_Position = vec4(x2 / z3 * vm.x,y2 / z3 * vm.x * vm.w, dst * 0.0001,1.0f);
v_Position = vec3(x2, y2, z3);
v_Color = aColor;
v_Normal = vec3(nx2, ny2, nz3);
}
this is the FragmentShader :
#version 300 es
precision mediump float;
uniform vec3 u_LightPos;
in vec3 v_Position;
in vec4 v_Color;
in vec3 v_Normal;
out vec4 FragColor;
void main()
{
float distance = length(vec3(u_LightPos) - v_Position);
vec3 lightVector = normalize(vec3(u_LightPos) - v_Position);
float diffuse = max(dot(v_Normal, lightVector), 0.1);
diffuse = diffuse * (1.0 / (1.0 + (0.25 * distance * distance)));
FragColor = vec4(vec3(v_Color) * (diffuse), 1.0f);
}
for u_LightPos i passed in 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f
for aColor : 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f
in case it helps, this is my vertexBuffer(the stride is 6 and the first three floats are for position the next three for the normals) :
-0.5f, -0.5f, -0.5f, 0.0f, 0.0f, -1.0f,
0.5f, -0.5f, -0.5f, 0.0f, 0.0f, -1.0f,

I have no idea why, but i yeeted out everything which had something to do with u_LightPos and now it works

OpenGL ES 2 Color buffer not working

I've recently started using OpenGL ES 2 for android. I followed their examples for drawing shapes, and I went further and created a cube. I'm now trying to achieve a nice color effect(each face a different color). I ve defined a colorBuffer which has a color for each vertex, but when I'm drawing the shape the image is black.
If I use only one color, instead of the buffer the shape is fine.
I tried to adapt my colorBuffer from the positionBuffer, but I'm doing something wrong.
Here is my code:
public class Cube {
private FloatBuffer vertexBuffer; // Buffer for vertex-array
private final FloatBuffer colorsBuffer;
private static final int COORDS_PER_VERTEX = 3;
private static final int COORDS_PER_COLOR = 4;
private ShortBuffer drawListBuffer;
private int mColorHandle;
// float color[] = { 0.63671875f, 0.76953125f, 0.22265625f, 1.0f };

You're not doing anything with the color data in your shader programs, so you're uploading the data and not doing anything with it.
You need to add handling code for the new vertex attribute to your shaders; something like this:
private final String vertexShaderCode =
"uniform mat4 uMVPMatrix;" +
"attribute vec4 vPosition;" +
"attribute mediump vec4 vColor;" +
"varying mediump vec4 vaColor;" +
"void main() {" +
" vaColor = vColor;" +
" gl_Position = uMVPMatrix * vPosition;" +
"}";
private final String fragmentShaderCode =
"precision mediump float;" +
"varying mediump vec4 vaColor;" +
"void main() {" +
" gl_FragColor = vaColor;" +
"}";

Using 3d primatives into Particle System

I am starting with this as a basis.
https://github.com/danginsburg/opengles-book-samples/tree/master/Android/Ch13_ParticleSystem
So I have been reading the book that this is based off of and I am struggling to understand how to load another object into the buffer that is not a bitmap. For instance i have created a cube class with normals, vertices, and textures
class Cube
{
public final float VERTICES[] = {

0.5f, -0.5f, -0.5f, // Back bottom right

-0.5f, 0.5f, -0.5f, // Back top left
-0.5f, -0.5f, 0.5f, // Front bottom left
0.5f, -0.5f, 0.5f, // Front bottom right
0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f, // Front top right

I'm assuming I will need to write a new function to load the cube data, may need help fleshing this out.
private int loadCube() {
Cube cube = new Cube();
float [] cubeData;
float[] cubeVerts = cube.getVERTICES();
float[] cubeNorms = cube.getCubeNormalData();
float[] cubeTexts = cube.getCubeTextureCoordinateData();
for (int i=0; i<NUM_PARTICLES;i++)
{
// add all the parts to the buffer somehow
}
//do some kind og GLES20.glBind
return particleId[0]; // im not sure what this index does just yet but loadTexture has one
}
I think that's what I have to do, though if i missed some important please let me know.
EDIT**********************************************
OK so, I've been making progress and realized that my question was probably too vague. I am currently getting an index out of bounds error, though im sure i am binding the data incorrectly and doing something wrong with the shader. If you could point out what i am doing wrong that would be greatly appreciated
I am loading the data into one buffer of size 32 where:
//[0] is lifetime
//1-3 is end pos
//4-6 is start post
//7-31 is vert data which is added from the cube
So i have these member variables
private FloatBuffer mParticles;
private Context mContext;
private final int NUM_PARTICLES = 10000;
private final int PARTICLE_SIZE = 32; // was 7
private final float[] mParticleData = new float[NUM_PARTICLES * PARTICLE_SIZE];
then i have an onSurfaceCreate Function which i am getting an out of bounds error for when i try to add the verts

OpenGL ES 2.0 - Textures always black

I've been reading a lot about textures in Open GL ES 2.0 today. My problem is, that they are all black.
My code:
To generate a texture from a bitmap:
private void generateTexture(Bitmap bmp) {
final int[] textureHandle = new int[1];
Log.d(TAG, "Generating texture handle");
GLES20.glGenTextures(1, textureHandle, 0);
if (textureHandle[0] != 0) {
Log.d(TAG, "binding texture to " + textureHandle[0]);
// Bind to the texture in OpenGL
GLES20.glBindTexture(GLES20.GL_TEXTURE_2D, textureHandle[0]);
Log.d(TAG, "GLError#bindTex=" + GLES20.glGetError());
// Set filtering
GLES20.glTexParameteri(GLES20.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GLES20.GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GLES20.GL_NEAREST);
GLES20.glTexParameteri(GLES20.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GLES20.GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GLES20.GL_NEAREST);
GLES20.glTexParameteri(GLES20.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GLES20.GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S,
GLES20.GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE);
GLES20.glTexParameteri(GLES20.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GLES20.GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T,
GLES20.GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE);
Log.d(TAG, "Loading bitmap into texture");
// Load the bitmap into the bound texture.
GLUtils.texImage2D(GLES20.GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, bmp, 0);
Log.d(TAG, "GLError#texImg2D=" + GLES20.glGetError());
Log.d(TAG, "Recycle bitmap");
// Recycle the bitmap, since its data has been loaded into OpenGL.
bmp.recycle();
}
There are no errors in my logcat, everything seems to be like it's supposed to.
How I use the texture:
if (mShader instanceof Texture2DShader && mTextureBuffer != null) {
// activate texture
Log.d(TAG, "Passing texture stuff");
mTextureBuffer.position(0);
Log.d(TAG, "Activate Texture");
GLES20.glActiveTexture(GLES20.GL_TEXTURE0);
Log.d(TAG, "Binding texture -> " + mTexture.getHandle());
GLES20.glBindTexture(GLES20.GL_TEXTURE_2D, mTexture.getHandle());
if (mShader.getGLLocation(BaseShader.U_TEXTURE) != -1) {
Log.d(TAG, "Passing u_Texture");
GLES20.glUniform1i(mShader.getGLLocation(BaseShader.U_TEXTURE), 0);
}
if (mShader.getGLLocation(BaseShader.A_TEXCOORDINATE) != -1) {
Log.d(TAG, "Passing a_TexCoordinate");
GLES20.glVertexAttribPointer(mShader.getGLLocation(BaseShader.A_TEXCOORDINATE), 2, GLES20.GL_FLOAT, false, 0, mTextureBuffer);
GLES20.glEnableVertexAttribArray(mShader.getGLLocation(BaseShader.A_TEXCOORDINATE));
}
Log.d(TAG, "Texture stuff passed.");
Log.d(TAG, "Error = " + GLES20.glGetError());
}
Logcat says something like this:
D/TextureCube﹕ Activate Texture
D/TextureCube﹕ Binding texture -> 3
D/TextureCube﹕ Passing u_Texture
D/TextureCube﹕ Passing a_TexCoordinate
D/TextureCube﹕ Texture stuff passed.
D/TextureCube﹕ Error = 0
So no error, seems to be working?
My shaders:
Fragment shader:
precision mediump float; // Set the default precision to medium. We don't need as high of a
// precision in the fragment shader.
uniform vec3 u_LightPos; // The position of the light in eye space.
uniform vec4 u_Light;
uniform vec4 u_Ambient;
uniform vec3 u_LightDirection;
uniform vec3 u_CameraPos;
uniform sampler2D u_Texture;
//varying vec4 v_Ambient; // Ambient light factor!
varying vec2 v_TexCoordinate;
varying vec3 v_Position; // Interpolated position for this fragment.
varying vec4 v_Color; // This is the color from the vertex shader interpolated across the triangle per fragment.
varying vec3 v_Normal; // Interpolated normal for this fragment.
//varying vec3 v_CameraPosition;
// The entry point for our fragment shader.
void main()
{
// Will be used for attenuation.
float distance = length(u_LightPos - v_Position);
// Get a lighting direction vector from the light to the vertex.
vec3 lightVector = normalize(u_LightPos - v_Position);
// Calculate the dot product of the light vector and vertex normal. If the normal and light vector are
// pointing in the same direction then it will get max illumination.
float diffuse = max(dot(v_Normal, lightVector), 0.1);
// Add attenuation. (used to be 0.25)
diffuse = diffuse * (1.0 / (1.0 + (0.25 * distance * distance)));
// calculate specular light!
//vec3 lightDirection = -u_LightDirection;
//vec3 vertexToEye = normalize(u_CameraPos - v_CameraPos);
//vec3 lightReflect = normalize(reflect(u_LightDirection, v_Normal));
//float specularFactor = dot(vertexToEye, lightReflect);
// Multiply the color by the diffuse illumination level to get final output color.
//
gl_FragColor = v_Color * (u_Ambient + (diffuse * u_Light) * texture2D(u_Texture, v_TexCoordinate));
}
Vertex Shader:
uniform mat4 u_MVPMatrix; // A constant representing the combined model/view/projection matrix.
uniform mat4 u_MVMatrix; // A constant representing the combined model/view matrix.
attribute vec4 a_Position; // Per-vertex position information we will pass in.
attribute vec4 a_Color; // Per-vertex color information we will pass in.
attribute vec3 a_Normal; // Per-vertex normal information we will pass in.
attribute vec2 a_TexCoordinate;
varying vec2 v_TexCoordinate;
varying vec3 v_Position; // This will be passed into the fragment shader.
varying vec4 v_Color; // This will be passed into the fragment shader.
varying vec3 v_Normal; // This will be passed into the fragment shader.
//varying vec3 v_CameraPosition;
//varying vec4 v_Ambient; // Pass the ambient color to the fragment shader.
// The entry point for our vertex shader.
void main()
{
// Transform the vertex into eye space.
v_Position = vec3(u_MVMatrix * a_Position);
v_TexCoordinate = a_TexCoordinate;
// Pass through the color.
v_Color = a_Color;
// Transform the normal's orientation into eye space.
v_Normal = vec3(u_MVMatrix * vec4(a_Normal, 0.0));
//v_CameraPos = vec3(u_MVMatrix * vec4(u_CameraPos, 0.0));
// v_CameraPosition = u_CameraPos;
// gl_Position is a special variable used to store the final position.
// Multiply the vertex by the matrix to get the final point in normalized screen coordinates.
gl_Position = u_MVPMatrix * a_Position;
}
Seems like texture2D returns a zero vector in the fragment shader, since if I simply write gl_FragColor = vec4(0.5,0.5,0.5,1.0) + texture2D(..) it is drawn.
I've already looked at countless questions here on SO as well as other websites, I know this exact question has been asked a couple of times, but no matter what I've tried - it did not help.
I've already downscaled my texture to 512x512, then 256x256, and even lower up to 64x64 but no changes. I've printed out my texture handlers, checked for GL errors, etc. but nothing.
EDIT:
At first I've been trying to load the texture from R.raw, then moved it to R.drawable, but no change.

gl_FragColor = vec4(v_TexCoordinate.x, v_TexCoordinate.y, 0, 1); in the fragment shader results in:

this is a very common issue then you do not work with power of 2 textures (pixel wise).
To not repeat here the same already provided solution, please have a look to my previous response on this matter.
Android OpenGL2.0 showing black textures
I hope this will solve your issue.
Cheers
Maurizio

Ok, I found the solution. I was again confused by the way the OpenGL thread works. I was loading the Bitmap in a thread, then using glView.post(); to post a Runnable back to the (what I thought) OpenGL thread, where the texture was supposed to be generated and bound to the bitmap.
This does not work. What I should have done is:
GLSurfaceView glView = ...;
glView.queueEvent(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
generateTexture(bitmap);
}
});
Where in generateTexture, I execute all the GLES20.generateTexture etc stuff, since with queueEvent, it's again on the real OpenGL thread, not on the UI thread.
Apparently, my code for using the texture has been correct. Thanks for your help.

OpenGL ES (Android) Cube disabling lighting when glEnable(GL_COLOR_MATERIAL) is added?

This is probably a really simple question, and I'm just not getting it. I'd like to have lighting on a cube, but have some faces have different colors. The following code results in a cube with no lighting, but one black face:

Uncommenting glEnable(GL10.GL_COLOR_MATERIAL) results in a lighted cube with no black face. How would I get a lighted cube with one black face?

I think here you'll find the answer. Both Android Emulator and HTC phones (I don't know about others, I haven't tested apps on them) have bugs with lighting.
