## Usage Examples

**Warning:** These are examples for `master`. You can find examples for

the latest _released version_ [here](https://github.com/rust-windowing/glutin/releases/latest).

The examples use [`gl_generator`](https://crates.io/crates/gl_generator) to

generate OpenGL bindings.

### Try it!

```bash

git clone https://github.com/rust-windowing/glutin

cd glutin

cargo run --example window

```

### Usage

Glutin is an OpenGL context creation library, and doesn't directly provide

OpenGL bindings for you.

For examples, please look [here](https://github.com/rust-windowing/glutin/tree/master/glutin_examples).

Note that glutin aims at being a low-level brick in your rendering

infrastructure. You are encouraged to write another layer of abstraction

between glutin and your application.

Glutin follows winit's [MSRV policy](https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit/blob/master/README.md#msrv-policy).

## Platform-specific notes

### Android

Be sure to handle Android's lifecycle correctly when using a `winit` window

by only creating a GL surface after `winit` raises `Event::Resumed`, and

destroy it again upon receiving `Event::Suspended`. See this in action in the

[`android.rs` example](./glutin_examples/examples/android.rs).

To compile and run the Android example on your device,

install [`cargo-apk`](https://crates.io/crates/cargo-apk)

and start the app using:

```console

$ cargo apk r -p glutin_examples --example android

```
