I'm used to mainly working with the Canvas SurfaceView API on Android and have recently been learning openGL ES 2.0
With canvas I know that surfaceView gives you the ability to start a new thread to render on, but it doesn't specifically do this for you, so I was creating a new thread and managing that thread when the app was ended / paused etc....
However, from what I've read with glSurfaceView it seems that this is actually done for you automatically? Does this mean I don't actually need to manually create / start and manage my own rendering thread? (I'm talking specifically about a rendering thread (which could also be used for logic updates) which is separate the main UI thread.
Clarification on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
