android - Trying to draw textured triangles on device fails, but the emulator works. Why?

Question

I have a series of OpenGL-ES calls that properly render a triangle and texture it with alpha blending on the emulator (2.0.1). When I fire up the same code on an actual device (Droid 2.0.1), all I get are white squares.

This suggests to me that the textures aren't loading, but I can't figure out why they aren't loading. All of my textures are 32-bit PNGs with alpha channels, under res/raw so they aren't optimized per the sdk docs.

Here's how I am loading my textures:

private void loadGLTexture(GL10 gl, Context context, int reasource_id, int texture_id)
{
    //Get the texture from the Android resource directory
    Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(), reasource_id, sBitmapOptions);

    //Generate one texture pointer...
    gl.glGenTextures(1, textures, texture_id);
    //...and bind it to our array
    gl.glBindTexture(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, textures[texture_id]);

    //Create Nearest Filtered Texture
    gl.glTexParameterf(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL10.GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL10.GL_NEAREST);
    gl.glTexParameterf(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL10.GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL10.GL_LINEAR);

    //Different possible texture parameters, e.g. GL10.GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE
    gl.glTexParameterf(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL10.GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL10.GL_REPEAT);
    gl.glTexParameterf(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL10.GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL10.GL_REPEAT);

    //Use the Android GLUtils to specify a two-dimensional texture image from our bitmap
    GLUtils.texImage2D(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, bitmap, 0);

    //Clean up
    bitmap.recycle();
}

Here's how I am rendering the texture:

        //Clear
    gl.glClear(GL10.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL10.GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
    //Enable vertex buffer
    gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
    gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY);
        gl.glVertexPointer(3, GL10.GL_FLOAT, 0, vertexBuffer);
        gl.glTexCoordPointer(2, GL10.GL_FLOAT, 0, textureBuffer);
        //Push transformation matrix
        gl.glPushMatrix();
        //Transformation matrices
        gl.glTranslatef(x, y, 0.0f);
        gl.glScalef(scalefactor, scalefactor, 0.0f);
        gl.glColor4f(1.0f,1.0f,1.0f,1.0f);
        //Bind the texture
        gl.glBindTexture(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, textures[textureid]);
        //Draw the vertices as triangles
        gl.glDrawElements(GL10.GL_TRIANGLES, indices.length, GL10.GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, indexBuffer);
        //Pop the matrix back to where we left it
        gl.glPopMatrix();
            //Disable the client state before leaving
    gl.glDisableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
    gl.glDisableClientState(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY);

And here are the options I have enabled:

        gl.glShadeModel(GL10.GL_SMOOTH);            //Enable Smooth Shading
        gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_DEPTH_TEST);            //Enables Depth Testing
        gl.glDepthFunc(GL10.GL_LEQUAL);             //The Type Of Depth Testing To Do
        gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D);
        gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_BLEND);
        gl.glBlendFunc(GL10.GL_SRC_ALPHA,GL10.GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);

Edit: I just tried supplying a BitmapOptions to the BitmapFactory.decodeResource() call, but this doesn't seem to fix the issue, despite manually setting the same preferredconfig, density, and targetdensity.

Edit2: As requested, here is a screenshot of the emulator working. The underlaying triangles are shown with a circle texture rendered onto it, the transparency is working because you can see the black background.

Here is a shot of what the droid does with the exact same code on it:

Edit3: Here are my BitmapOptions, updated the call above with how I am now calling the BitmapFactory, still the same results as below: sBitmapOptions.inPreferredConfig = Bitmap.Config.RGB_565;

sBitmapOptions.inDensity = 160;
sBitmapOptions.inTargetDensity = 160;
sBitmapOptions.inScreenDensity = 160;
sBitmapOptions.inDither = false;
sBitmapOptions.inSampleSize = 1;
sBitmapOptions.inScaled = false;

Here are my vertices, texture coords, and indices:

    /** The initial vertex definition */
    private static final float vertices[] = { 
                                        -1.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f, 
                                        1.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f,
                                        -1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f,
                                        1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f
                                                        };
    /** The initial texture coordinates (u, v) */   
private static final float texture[] = {            
                                    //Mapping coordinates for the vertices
                                    0.0f, 1.0f,
                                    1.0f, 1.0f,
                                    0.0f, 0.0f,
                                    1.0f, 0.0f
                                    };
/** The initial indices definition */   
private static final byte indices[] = {
                                        //Faces definition
                                        0,1,3, 0,3,2
                                        };

Is there anyway to dump the contents of the texture once it's been loaded into OpenGL ES? Maybe I can compare the emulator's loaded texture with the actual device's loaded texture?

I did try with a different texture (the default android icon) and again, it works fine for the emulator but fails to render on the actual phone.

Edit4: Tried switching around when I do texture loading. No luck. Tried using a constant offset of 0 to glGenTextures, no change.

Is there something that I'm using that the emulator supports that the actual phone does not?

Edit5: Per Ryan below, I resized my texture from 200x200 to 256x256, and the issue was NOT resolved.

Edit: As requested, added the calls to glVertexPointer and glTexCoordPointer above. Also, here is the initialization of vertexBuffer, textureBuffer, and indexBuffer:

ByteBuffer byteBuf = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(vertices.length * 4);
byteBuf.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder());
vertexBuffer = byteBuf.asFloatBuffer();
vertexBuffer.put(vertices);
vertexBuffer.position(0);
byteBuf = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(texture.length * 4);
byteBuf.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder());
textureBuffer = byteBuf.asFloatBuffer();
textureBuffer.put(texture);
textureBuffer.position(0);
indexBuffer = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(indices.length);
indexBuffer.put(indices);
indexBuffer.position(0);
loadGLTextures(gl, this.context);

Answer 1

I had exactly this issue when I moved from SDK 3 to 4. My textures would display on the emulator but not on the real device (Motorola Milestone/Droid).

All your textures must be binary powers of two. Mine were 256x256. However the reason the textures don't display is that the OS is scaling them from their binary power sizes to display on the Milestone's high density screen.

The solution is easy - just move the textures to the drawable-nodpi directory and the OS won't scale them when it loads them.
