HW accelerated activity - how to get OpenGL texture size limit?


I'm trying to enable hw acceleration in Honeycomb, and display some Bitmaps on Canvas. All works fine, but for large bitmaps (>2048 in one dimension), I get error in log:



OpenGLRenderer: Bitmap too large to be uploaded into a texture



I know this is because of hw limitation, and can work-around it by reducing max bitmap size to be displayed if hw acceleration is enabled (checking by View.isHardwareAccelerated()).



My question is: how to easily determine max texture size available for Bitmap drawing by hardware. 2048 seems to be limit on my device, but it may be different on different ones.



Edit: I'm not creating OpenGL app, just normal app, which can utilize hw acceleration. Thus I'm not familiar with OpenGL at all, I just see OpenGL related error in log, and look to solve it.

  1. Currently the minimum limit is 2048px (i.e. the hardware must support textures at least 2048x2048.) In ICS we will introduce a new API on the Canvas class that will give you this information. I don't remember the exact name I picked but it will be something like Canvas.getMaxBitmapWidth()/getMaxBitmapHeight().

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
