Using OpenGL ES I am rendering a simple cube class that draws it at the centre of the screen. However, I want to be able to draw multiple such cubes on the screen at random positions but don't know how to. Here is the my custom surface view that renders the cube as a private class. I haven't included my main ActivityManager since its not the concern.
public class TouchSurfaceView extends GLSurfaceView {
private final float TRACKBALL_SCALE_FACTOR=52.0f;
private final float TOUCH_SCALE_FACTOR=100.0f/320;
private MyGLRenderer mRenderer;
private float mPreviousX;
private float mPreviousY;
public TouchSurfaceView(Context context) {
super(context);
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
mRenderer=new MyGLRenderer();
setRenderer(mRenderer);
setRenderMode(GLSurfaceView.RENDERMODE_WHEN_DIRTY);
}
private class MyGLRenderer implements GLSurfaceView.Renderer{
private MyGLCube mCube;
public float mAngleX;
public float mAngleY;
public MyGLRenderer(){
mCube=new MyGLCube();
}
@Override
public void onDrawFrame(GL10 gl) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
gl.glDisable(GL10.GL_DITHER);
gl.glClear(GL10.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL10.GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
gl.glMatrixMode(GL10.GL_MODELVIEW);
gl.glLoadIdentity();
gl.glClientActiveTexture(DRAWING_CACHE_QUALITY_HIGH);
// gl.glTranslatef(0, 0, -3.0f);
gl.glTranslatef(0, 0, -3.0f);
gl.glRotatef(mAngleX, 0, 1, 0);
gl.glRotatef(mAngleY, 1, 0, 0);
mCube.draw(gl);
}
@Override
public void onSurfaceChanged(GL10 gl, int width, int height) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
gl.glViewport(0, 0, width, height);
float ratio=(float) width/height;
gl.glMatrixMode(GL10.GL_PROJECTION);
gl.glLoadIdentity();
gl.glFrustumf(-ratio, ratio, -1, 1, 1, 10);
}
@Override
public void onSurfaceCreated(GL10 gl, EGLConfig config) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
gl.glDisable(GL10.GL_DITHER);
gl.glHint(GL10.GL_PERSPECTIVE_CORRECTION_HINT, GL10.GL_FASTEST);
gl.glClearColor(0.5f, 2, 0.63f, 0.2f);
}
}
}
Here is MYGLCube that contains vertices, indices and other stuff for constructing the cube
public class MyGLCube {
private float vertices[]={
0.3f,0.3f,-0.3f, // topFront Right
0.3f,-0.3f,-0.3f, //BottomFront Right

-0.3f,0.3f,-0.3f, //topFront Left
0.3f,0.3f,0.3f, // topBack Right
0.3f,-0.3f,0.3f, //BottomBack Right
-0.3f,-0.3f,0.3f, //BottomBack Left
-0.3f,0.3f,0.3f, //topBack Left
};
private float rgbaVals[]={
1,1,0,.5f, // topFront Right color
