Better Graphics For Android Applications

Filed under: Hacks No comment

Google released the third version of Android Native Developer Kit (NDK) on monday which will help the developers to create more better graphical apps.Applications focused on Android 2.0 or higher now gain the ability to directly access OpenGL ES 2.0 features, which brings the capability to “control graphics rendering through vertex and fragment shader programs, using the GLSL shading language”.

Android runs apps created in Java through a virtualization process, but the NDK lets developers build their apps in native code, which is faster and provides higher-quality graphic capabilities.Native programming will open Android to more developers who may not be familiar with Java or would prefer to build apps using tools like OpenGL that are already familiar to them.But it’s not just for games. Mozilla is bringing its mobile version of Firefox to Android using the NDK, and one programmer on the project.
