Description

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if it's a good idea to replace Android GLSurfaceView with GLTextureView. The advantages of replacing this is that multiple views can be combined. after this modification we can create a mapKit for Android and combine it with a native GUI.

Here's an example link:

Research direction

The issue names Android GLSurfaceView and the proposed GLTextureView, but no repository files, tests, or entry points. First determine where the Android rendering view is implemented and assess the linked GLTextureView example; done would require a decided replacement approach that supports combining the rendering view with native GUI elements.
