this is my code MainActivity.java:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements Scene.OnUpdateListener {

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    try {
        mCustomArFragment = (customArFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.fragment);
        mCustomArFragment.getArSceneView().getScene().addOnUpdateListener(this);
    }catch (Exception e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}

public void setUpDatabase(Config config, Session session){
    Bitmap nature = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.nature);
    AugmentedImageDatabase aid = new AugmentedImageDatabase(session);
    aid.addImage("nature" , nature);
    config.setAugmentedImageDatabase(aid);
}


@Override
public void onUpdate(FrameTime frameTime) {
    Frame frame = mCustomArFragment.getArSceneView().getArFrame();
    Collection<AugmentedImage> images = frame.getUpdatedTrackables(AugmentedImage.class);
    for (AugmentedImage image : images){
        if (image.getTrackingState() == TrackingState.TRACKING){
            if (image.getName().equals("nature")){
                Anchor anchor = image.createAnchor(image.getCenterPose());
                createModel(anchor);
            }
        }
    }
}

private void createModel(Anchor anchor) {
    ModelRenderable.builder()
            .setSource(this , Uri.parse("untitled.sfb"))
            .build()
            .thenAccept(modelRenderable -> { placeModel(modelRenderable,anchor); });

}

private void placeModel(ModelRenderable modelRenderable, Anchor anchor) {
    AnchorNode anchorNode = new AnchorNode(anchor);
    anchorNode.setRenderable(modelRenderable);
    mCustomArFragment.getArSceneView().getScene().addChild(anchorNode);

Answer 1

build.gradle Add the following configuration to the file.

android{
....
compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }

}

Answer 2

I was facing the same error with AVD for API 29. In SDK Manager, for your selected API level, download "Google APIs Intel x86 Atom System Image" or "Intel x86 Atom System Image" or all "Google API intel...."

Note: Above downloads requires huge space and data

Then faced another error "Google Play services for ar keeps stopping"

for this error below link helped https://developers.google.com/sceneform/develop/emulator

So here is the answer

Sceneform requires OpenGL ES 3.0 or higher. Make sure your emulator is configured to use the latest version of OpenGL ES: Click More in the running emulator's toolbar. Select Settings > Advanced > OpenGL ES API level > Renderer maximum (up to OpenGL ES 3.1). Restart the emulator. When prompted, do not save the current state.

Check more on link above

Answer 3

The most common cause of this type of error seems to be running on devices which don't support OpenGL ES3.1 or later - see the discussion here: https://github.com/google-ar/sceneform-android-sdk/issues/4

This can be either on older or less capable devices or when running in the emulator on a platform that does not have this version or a later version.

There are also reports that having mismatched Sceneform libraries can cause the same problem (not sure if the error is 100% the same) - i.e. an example from the discussion above (with version bolded to highlight):

implementation "com.google.ar.sceneform.ux:sceneform-ux:1.10.0"

implementation "com.google.ar.sceneform:animation:1.8.0"
