OpenGL and ModelView Matrix

You do it more or less the same way you'd do it in C, and those functions do exist in Java, but the device you're using has to support GL ES 1.1 (you can specify this as the minimum version in your manifest, or check for GL ES 1.1 support at runtime).

Code (Text):

1. // assuming somewhere along the lines there's a "GL11 gl" line or parameter
2. float[] output = new float[16];
3. gl.glGetFloatv(GL11.GL_MODELVIEW_MATRIX, output, 0);

 

Do you have anything that is written to the ModelView Matrix? Without seeing code, it is going to be impossible to accurately troubleshoot your problem.

The method that was posted above is correct. If it is returning 0's, then the MV matrix, at the point that the above code is executed, is empty.
