 /**
- * An implementation of SurfaceView that uses the dedicated surface for
- * displaying an OpenGL animation.  This allows the animation to run in a
- * separate thread, without requiring that it be driven by the update mechanism
- * of the view hierarchy.
+ * A simple GLSurfaceView sub-class that demonstrate how to perform
+ * OpenGL ES 2.0 rendering into a GL Surface. Note the following important
+ * details:
  *
- * The application-specific rendering code is delegated to a GLView.Renderer
- * instance.
+ * - The class must use a custom context factory to enable 2.0 rendering.
+ *   See ContextFactory class definition below.
+ *
+ * - The class must use a custom EGLConfigChooser to be able to select
+ *   an EGLConfig that supports 2.0. This is done by providing a config
+ *   specification to eglChooseConfig() that has the attribute
+ *   EGL10.ELG_RENDERABLE_TYPE containing the EGL_OPENGL_ES2_BIT flag
+ *   set. See ConfigChooser class definition below.
+ *
+ * - The class must select the surface's format, then choose an EGLConfig
+ *   that matches it exactly (with regards to red/green/blue/alpha channels
+ *   bit depths). Failure to do so would result in an EGL_BAD_MATCH error.
