[android-developers] Re: fall back

Hi bob,

I just dug up this old response of yours on the "EGL_BAD_MATCH" error because I ran into the same issue twice already. The first time your suggestion with setting the pixel format on the surface holder did help. But now I got another crash report from an oldish Android phone where it doesn't work. Do you have any idea how to fix that problem?

Thanks in advance!

Turns out adding the second line makes it work:

                mGLView = new GLSurfaceView(this);

                mGLView.getHolder( ).setFormat( PixelFormat.RGBA_8888 );
