You can use this code in your code:

            int result;
            ActivityManager activityManager =
                    (ActivityManager) getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
            ConfigurationInfo configInfo = activityManager.getDeviceConfigurationInfo();
            if (configInfo.reqGlEsVersion != ConfigurationInfo.GL_ES_VERSION_UNDEFINED) {
                result= configInfo.reqGlEsVersion;
            } else {
                result= 1 << 16; // Lack of property means OpenGL ES version 1
            }

            Log.e("reqGlEsVersion", String.valueOf(result));
            Log.e("getGlEsVersion", configInfo.getGlEsVersion());
