An Android OpenGL Deep Dive

I'm doing a deep dive to learn OpenGL on Android. Here are a few of the resources that I found in the past few days. First, if you don't know OpenGL, I'd start with Erik Bergman's Android OpenGL
Tutorials. These seem to be based on the NeHe Android ports.

From there I would look at few sample projects. I found these to be helpful:

http://code.google.com/p/android-gamedev/

This project includes a Space Invaders clone.

As well as sample code to load .obj and .md2  files.

These 14 tutorials are based on this C++ tutorial, which have been rewritten in Java for Android.

Finally, here's a Tetris clone:

Let's not forget Replica Island, a complete 2D side-scrolling  game.


The complete source can be found on Google Code.
