State of Android graphics 2026

Hi,
As I look to update some things and I’m not native Android user (I have a very old 2015 device with some ROM to make it run newer Android OS version - 13).

I’ve got things running on it and UI was sluggish in non usable way. (release build)

I’ve went to OpenGL which made it smooth.

But I wonder if there are any changes in the recent years or what’s the recommended graphics backend for Android/JUCE.

Thanks.

OpenGL is still the way to go.
