Are there any code samples of using GLES3 on a FireHD?

I have a firehd10 (2017), and per https://developer.amazon.com/docs/fire-tablets/ft-feature-specifications.html, it supports ES3.1

But when I run the AndroidStudio code sample 'gles3jni', it just dies on the device, and I don't see anything show up in logcat.


I am able to run both the 'HelloGL2' and 'SanAngeles' demos from AndroidStudio without issue, it just seenms to be the GLES3 sample.

I found the error, it looks like it wants different parameters, but this demo works in the emulator and on my phone, both also on Lollipop :

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for that info. I have forwarded your message to the Fire OS team to investigate. Thanks!

Hi Bruce,

This repo https://github.com/JimSeker/opengl has working examples of OpenGL ES 3.1 on Fire HD 10 (2017). Does that answer your question? Thanks!
