from what I've gathered, which may or may not be correct - I've been seeing if it were possible to make a Maemo machine run Android apps without rebooting - say, a chroot - and it seems quite difficult due to massive abi differences. A whole 'wine' effort to convert the calls would be needed...
but I would think Android should at least still use glibc? not sure...
Maemo on the other hand seems very traditional Linux like. _________________ Intel Core i7 2700K/Radeon R7 250/24GB DDR3/256GB SSD

I guess, you are asking wrong question. Android does not use any library for 3d game. Android is a system that allows creation of games, as well as all kinds of other applications. It provides set of libraries for doing it. The application developers pick the libraries that are most suitable for their applications. Android also provides OpenGL. Here's documentation http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/opengl.html
So, study the docs for available libraries and choose those that you want to use. |

yeah, my question is obscure, sorry.
What I really want to ask is:
What lib (or code) does android use to implement opengl? How is it?
What gl version does it support?
is it open source?
is it developed from scratch by google or copied from other project?
how is it compare to mesa?
To v_andal:
I viewed that page, this page says something about the gl interface and gl version.
but nothing about the implementation status. |

Yep. It says so right at the beginning of the page that I gave link to
Quote: |
Beginning with Android 2.2 (API Level 8 ), the framework supports the OpenGL ES 2.0 API specification.

One can also access the native API using Android NDK http://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/index.html |
