Android depth buffer issue: Advice for anyone experiencing problem

I've wasted around 30 hours this week writing and re-writing code, believing that I had misunderstood how the OpenGL depth buffer works. Everything I tried, failed. I have now resolved my problem by finding what may be an error in the Android implementation of OpenGL.

See this API entry:

http://www.opengl.org/sdk/docs/man/xhtml/glClearDepth.xml

void glClearDepth(GLclampd depth);

Specifies the depth value used when the depth buffer is cleared. The initial value is 1.

Android's implementation has two versions of this command:

  • glClearDepthx which takes an integer value, clamped 0-1

  • glClearDepthf which takes a floating point value, clamped 0-1

If you use glClearDepthf(1) then you get the results you would expect. If you use glClearDepthx(1), as I was doing then you get different results. (Note that 1 is the default value, b开发者_如何学Cut calling the command with the argument 1 produces different results than not calling it at all.) Quite what is happening I do not know, but the depth buffer was being cleared to a value different from what I had specified.


Try passing 65536 to glClearDepthx().

GLfixed is S15.16 fixed-point, so 1.0 is represented by 2^16 or 65536.

Also, you linked to the regular OpenGL documentation, not the OpenGL ES 1.1 docs.
