[osg-users] Android: Survive Context Loss without complete reinitialization

[Martin Siggel]

Dear Robert,

I am now on master. The problems still exist.

You are right. Lets forget the inbuilt shaders. The problems occur
also with my own shaders. The only place I use the inbuilt ones are
for text nodes. Those also existed in rc3.

No.

I am testing it in the android emulator that comes with the Android
SDK. Additionally I also have a One Plus 3 around, which show the same
problems.

Is there any way I can help you setting up an Android Dev environment?
I am thinking of a virtual machine that I could create for testing. Or
step by step instructions, how to build OSG and the example.

But maybe lets not focus too much on android. It seems, that similar
issues also occurred with qt, when a gl context was recreated. My
question is, how to properly notify to OSG, that all shaders +
uniforms are invalid such that it recompiles them. Actually, OSG
already recompiles the shader after creating a new embedded window and
therefore increasing the context id. Maybe the old shader objects are
not disposed properly and are still attached to the stateset (just
guessing).

Unfortunately, I don't know OSG much that I can find out, what is
actually going wrong.
