There’s a bug in 2.10 PVRTTextureAPI.cpp PVRTTextureLoadFromPointer() fn in the iOS and Android SDK sample code. On Android, it fails to load ETC textures correctly.  
  
  
  
  
  
The problem is this line:  
  
  
  
  
  
#ifndef TARGET\_OS\_IPHONE //TODO  
  
  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;else if (eTextureFormat==GL\_ETC1\_RGB8\_OES)  
  
  
  
  
  
should be  
  
  
  
  
  
#ifndef TARGET\_OS\_IPHONE //TODO  
  
  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;else if (eTextureInternalFormat==GL\_ETC1\_RGB8\_OES)  
  
  
  
  
  
eTextureFormat is always 0 because PVRTGetOGLES2TextureFormat only sets eTextureInternalFormat, not eTextureFormat  
  
  
  
  
  
Posting here in case others run into same problem.

Hi Kris,  
  
Thanks for catching this - we don’t typically use ETC, so hadn’t noticed the problem. I’ve fixed this for our next release, in the meantime your fix is exactly the correct thing to do.  
  
Thanks,  
  
Tobias
