Filament keeps a global static list of engines for verification purposes which was being recreated multiple times, causing a panic. After a lot of experimentation with the build, I was not able to fix this while keeping the current scheme of dynamically loading both libraries. As a "solution", we now staticly link filament into gltfio-jni, and ask clients to load only that. Fixes #1811.
Filament sample Android apps
This directory contains several sample Android applications that demonstrate how to use the Filament APIs:
hello-triangle
Demonstrates how to setup a rendering surface for Filament:
lit-cube
Demonstrates how to create a light and a mesh with the attributes required for lighting:
image-based-lighting
Demonstrates how to create image-based lights and load complex meshes:
textured-object
Demonstrates how to load and use textures for complex materials:
transparent-rendering
Demonstrates how to render into a transparent SurfaceView:
texture-view
Demonstrates how to render into a TextureView instead of a SurfaceView:
material-builder
Demonstrates how to programatically generate Filament materials, as opposed to compiling them on the host machine:
gltf-bloom
Demonstrates how to load glTF models and render to an offscreen buffer:
hello-camera
Demonstrates how to use Stream with Android's Camera2 API:
Prerequisites
Before you start, make sure to read Filament's README. You need to be able to compile Filament's native library and Filament's AAR for this project. The easiest way to proceed is to install all the required dependencies and to run the following commands at the root of the source tree:
$ ./build.sh -p desktop -i release
$ ./build.sh -p android release
This will build all the native components and the AAR required by this sample application.
If you do not use the build script, you must set the filament_tools_dir property when invoking
Gradle, either from the command line or from local.properties. This property must point to the
distribution/install directory for desktop (produced by make/ninja install). This directory must
contain bin/matc and bin/cmgen.
Example:
$ ./gradlew -Pfilament_tools_dir=../../dist-release assembleDebug
Important: SDK location
Either ensure your ANDROID_HOME environment variable is set or make sure each project contains a
local.properties file with the sdk.dir property pointing to your installation of the Android
SDK. This includes the project filament-android in the parent directory.
Android Studio
You must use Android Studio 3.3 or higher to open these projects.
Compiling
To compile and run each sample make sure you have selected the appropriate build variant (arm7, arm8, x86 or x86_64). If you are not sure you can simply select the "universal" variant which includes all the other ones.
