How to create an android non-native app using ogre sdk?
I have seen the GLES2 sample provided in the Ogre Android sdk(OgreSDK_Android_v1-9-0RC1). But it is pure native app, is it possible to create a application by creating the UI layer completely in java and the core renderering alone in the native layer ? If not is it possible to add the UI elements(in java) on top of the native activity as created in the GLES2 sample ?

Hi,
Ogre3D is primary meant to be used with C++. There are wrappers for Python (which seems to be popular I think) , .Net and Java.
If I was developing anything with Computer Graphics, I will always choose C++.
Here is the link for the Java Wrapper http://ogre4j.sourceforge.net/
I'm not sure if that will work for you.
An alternative may be to use an engine originally supported for Java.

However, all of this seem to be out of the scope of this forum, except for Ogre Related stuff.
Thanks

I doesn't mean to have the entire app in java, instead the UI/Windowing part in java and the rendering part alone in c++ using ndk as many OpenGL based android applications do. I am not able to achieve this in the latest Ogre Android SDK(V 1.9), but this was achieved in Ogre V1.8 ( the 'browser' sample code provided in the source code).
