How to draw basic circle in OpenGL ES 2.0 Android

Question

I\'m new in OpenGL ES 2, and I have read many topics about how to draw a circle in OpenGL ES 2 on Android. Based on Drawing Shapes and this code found on gamedev.net, I can

Answer 1

This is a modified version of the above answer. It also includes the code to color the circle as well. Most of the functions are used as OpenGL ES1 though. Mind the naming conventions of class toilet, LOL. If you need the code of other classes where I render OpenGL as well, let me know.

import java.nio.ByteBuffer;
import java.nio.ByteOrder;
import java.nio.FloatBuffer;
import javax.microedition.khronos.opengles.GL10;

public class Toilet {

    // Circle variables
    int circlePoints = 30;
    float radius = 1.0f;
    float center_x = 0.0f;
    float center_y = 0.0f;

    // Outer vertices of the circle i.e. excluding the center_x, center_y
    int circumferencePoints = circlePoints-1;

    // Circle vertices and buffer variables
    int vertices = 0;
    float circleVertices[] = new float[circlePoints*2];
    private FloatBuffer toiletBuff; // 4 bytes per float

    // Color values
    private float rgbaValues[] = {
               1,     1,  0,     .5f,
               .25f,  0,  .85f,  1,
               0,     1,  1,     1
    };

    private FloatBuffer colorBuff;

    public Toilet()
    {
        // The initial buffer values
        circleVertices[vertices++] = center_x;
        circleVertices[vertices++] = center_y;

        // Set circle vertices values
        for (int i = 0; i < circumferencePoints; i++)
        {
            float percent = (i / (float) (circumferencePoints - 1));
            float radians = (float) (percent * 2 * Math.PI);

            // Vertex position
            float outer_x = (float) (center_x + radius * Math.cos(radians));
            float outer_y = (float) (center_y + radius * Math.sin(radians));

            circleVertices[vertices++] = outer_x;
            circleVertices[vertices++] = outer_y;
        }

        // Float buffer short has four bytes
        ByteBuffer toiletByteBuff = ByteBuffer
                .allocateDirect(circleVertices.length * 4);

        // Garbage collector won't throw this away
        toiletByteBuff.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder());
        toiletBuff = toiletByteBuff.asFloatBuffer();
        toiletBuff.put(circleVertices);
        toiletBuff.position(0);

        // Float buffer short has four bytes
        ByteBuffer clrBuff = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(rgbaValues.length * 4);
        // garbage collector wont throw this away
        clrBuff.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder());
        colorBuff = clrBuff.asFloatBuffer();
        colorBuff.put(rgbaValues);
        colorBuff.position(0);
    }

    // Draw methods
    public void draw(GL10 gl) {

        // Get the front face
        gl.glFrontFace(GL10.GL_CW); // Front facing is clockwise
        gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);

        // Enable color array
        gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_COLOR_ARRAY);

        // Pointer to the buffer
        gl.glVertexPointer(2, GL10.GL_FLOAT, 0, toiletBuff);

        // Pointer to color
        gl.glColorPointer(4, GL10.GL_FLOAT, 0, colorBuff);

        // Draw hollow circle
        //gl.glDrawArrays(GL10.GL_LINE_LOOP, 1, circumferencePoints);

        // Draw circle as filled shape
        gl.glDrawArrays(GL10.GL_TRIANGLE_FAN, 0, circlePoints);

        gl.glDisableClientState(GL10.GL_COLOR_ARRAY);
        gl.glDisableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
    }
