createContext failed: EGL_SUCCESS

Question

The log says

 java.lang.RuntimeException: createContext failed: EGL_SUCCESS

when I try to use the Rajawali library on Android studio. I found out that the problem must be device-capability-specific, because my app runs on other devices (Samsung Galaxy Tab 4, Nexus) but not on Sony Xperia LT30p. I have looked around and have only found this thread talking about the same problem. I thought it might be a problem of RAM or overflowing, so I disabled all background processes and uninstalled most apps. Still, the error persists. Does anyone know why this happens and if there exists a way around it?

Answer 1

Maybe because the config call order is wrong..

    setEGLConfigChooser(8, 8, 8, 8, 16, 0);
    setEGLContextClientVersion(2);
    getHolder().setFormat(PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);

And the right order is:

    setEGLContextClientVersion(2);
    setEGLConfigChooser(8, 8, 8, 8, 16, 0);
    getHolder().setFormat(PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);

But even using wrong order, the code is still correct in most of the phones.(I just met this error at a 4.2.1 phone)
