public interface TextureSequence
Protocol for texture sequences, like animations, movies, etc.

Ensure to respect the texture coordinates provided by TextureSequence.TextureFrame.getTexture().getImageTexCoords().

The user's shader shall be fitted for this implementation. Assuming we use a base shader code w/o headers using ShaderCode. (Code copied from unit test / demo TexCubeES2)

    static final String[] es2_prelude = { "#version 100\n", "precision mediump float;\n" };
    static final String gl2_prelude = "#version 110\n";
    static final String shaderBasename = "texsequence_xxx";  // the base shader code w/o headers
    static final String myTextureLookupName = "myTexture2D"; // the desired texture lookup function

    private void initShader(GL2ES2 gl, TextureSequence texSeq) {
        // Create & Compile the shader objects
        ShaderCode rsVp = ShaderCode.create(gl, GL2ES2.GL_VERTEX_SHADER, TexCubeES2.class,
                                            "shader", "shader/bin", shaderBasename, true);
        ShaderCode rsFp = ShaderCode.create(gl, GL2ES2.GL_FRAGMENT_SHADER, TexCubeES2.class,
                                            "shader", "shader/bin", shaderBasename, true);

        // Prelude shader code w/ GLSL profile specifics [ 1. pre-proc, 2. other ]
        int rsFpPos;
        if(gl.isGLES2()) {
            // insert ES2 version string in beginning
            rsVp.insertShaderSource(0, 0, es2_prelude[0]);
            rsFpPos = rsFp.insertShaderSource(0, 0, es2_prelude[0]);
        } else {
            // insert GL2 version string in beginning
            rsVp.insertShaderSource(0, 0, gl2_prelude);
            rsFpPos = rsFp.insertShaderSource(0, 0, gl2_prelude);
        }
        // insert required extensions as determined by TextureSequence implementation.
        rsFpPos = rsFp.insertShaderSource(0, rsFpPos, texSeq.getRequiredExtensionsShaderStub());
        if(gl.isGLES2()) {
            // insert ES2 default precision declaration
            rsFpPos = rsFp.insertShaderSource(0, rsFpPos, es2_prelude[1]);
        }
        // negotiate the texture lookup function name
        final String texLookupFuncName = texSeq.getTextureLookupFunctionName(myTextureLookupName);

        // in case a fixed lookup function is being chosen, replace the name in our code
        rsFp.replaceInShaderSource(myTextureLookupName, texLookupFuncName);

        // Cache the TextureSequence shader details in StringBuilder:
        final StringBuilder sFpIns = new StringBuilder();

        // .. declaration of the texture sampler using the implementation specific type
        sFpIns.append("uniform ").append(texSeq.getTextureSampler2DType()).append(" mgl_ActiveTexture;\n");

        // .. the actual texture lookup function, maybe null in case a built-in function is being used
        sFpIns.append(texSeq.getTextureLookupFragmentShaderImpl());

        // Now insert the TextureShader details in our shader after the given tag:
        rsFp.insertShaderSource(0, "TEXTURE-SEQUENCE-CODE-BEGIN", 0, sFpIns);

        // Create & Link the shader program
        ShaderProgram sp = new ShaderProgram();
        sp.add(rsVp);
        sp.add(rsFp);
        if(!sp.link(gl, System.err)) {
            throw new GLException("Couldn't link program: "+sp);
        }
        ...
 
The above procedure might look complicated, however, it allows most flexibility and workarounds to also deal with GLSL bugs.
