Hi. Does the Adreno support a hardware cursor. If so, where can I find an example of its use?

- thanks.

I'm not sure whether or not it does, but there's definitely no way to access this via OpenGL ES. It'd need to be through the OS, and I wasn't able to find anything about hardware cursors in Android. If there is OS support for this, I suspect that we'd support it through video hardware components other than the GPU, since they're better at things like overlays.

ICS is improving the support for cursor input so that could change (http://www.theverge.com/2011/10/18/android-4-0-ice-cream-sandwich-sdk-released-features-developers/). 

 

Note: Android is predominantly a touch controlled OS for mobile devices though that focus is changing..
