MLR Convention Centre, Whitefield, Bangalore

Droidcon is India’s first national Android conference and is a part of the worldwide Droidcon series of events. This is a technical conference, for developers by developers.

Sessions are for 45 minutes each (30 speaking, 5 Q&A, 10 transition). We will have three parallel tracks over two days, with 8 sessions per track per day. Workshop sessions are 60 minutes each (50 speaking, 10 minutes for transition between rooms).

We recommend you illustrate your sessions with demos of your own code and applications. Please refrain from making a pitch without explaining how it works, as your primary audience will be developers.

Sessions will be ranked by community voting and selected by a program committee with representation from the local community and the international Droidcon events. Confirmed speakers get free tickets to the event. Anyone who proposes to speak but isn’t confirmed will still get early bird pricing. If you’ve proposed to speak, there’s no need to rush to buy a ticket. We’ll be in touch with you.

Participants may reserve their tickets from http://droidcon.doattend.com.

The event will have three parallel tracks. The list below will be consolidated down to three by the program committee.

Introduction to OpenGL in Android

Submitted Oct 10, 2011

Section: UI and Design Technical level: Beginner Session type: Tutorial

Getting started with OpenGL programming can seem to be a little heavy but it need not be.

We will start with a brief introduction to OpenGL and then quickly jump into the step-by-step tutorial section.

Outline

The intro will include some history including the differences between OpenGL, OpenGL ES and OpenGL ES2.

The tutorial will introduce OpenGL programming by building a simple app which has the following features

Draws basic shapes
Filling the object with basic colors
Applying a texture on the shape
Creating a simple animation with the shape

And while implementing the above, we’ll cover the following topics

Setting up the view
Drawing simple shapes
Vertex Shader
Fragment Shader

If time permits, we’ll also cover the following

OpenGL Shader language [GLSL]
Transformations
Frame Buffer Objects
