Re: Run Cairo with OpenGL ES 2 backend on Android

Henry,

Thanks for your instruction but result is the same:
* The Android app crashes on some devices
* On some other devices, it does not crash but the screen is blank, nothing
is displayed

I've created this Android project:
https://github.com/ngocdaothanh/android-cairogles

You can build and run it to investigate on your machine.

Thanks.
