I have an android app with a bunch of photo filters. Filters are implemented with OpenGL ES 2.0 so when i want to save the final image i make glReadPixels call. It works on every device i have tested on, however it seems it does not work on Nexus 4. Users report that they can apply the filters but when they save the final image they can't find it on the devices. I want to know if there is any way for me to emulate nexus 4 and test my app on emulator? I have tested on emulator and it works fine also it would be good to know if anyone had similar problem with Nexus 4.

My glReadPixels call.

GLES20.glReadPixels(0, 0, saveWidth, saveHeight, GLES20.GL_RGBA, GLES20.GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, mPixels);

  • Where are you saving the file? Have you tested it on other JB 4.2 devices? There was a change in the SD card layout from 4.1 to 4.2. – Clyde Feb 08 '13 at 03:47

Add additional logging and get some test users to send you the output; this can help you narrow down where the specific problem is, whether it's with glReadPixels, or the file save. In particular, use glGetError() and log its value, and add try/catch blocks around file I/O:

try {
    .... file ops
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

  • You can also use a tool like ACRA (acra - Application Crash Report for Android - Google Project Hosting) to help your users send this information your way. – Learn OpenGL ES Feb 21 '13 at 23:18
