title: How to force GPU Rendering(Hardware acceleration) for android canvas
body: <p>I been reading in <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/hardware-accel.html" rel="nofollow">various places</a> and I need to enable GPU rendering for my canvas, but after adding </p>
  
  <pre><code>android:hardwareAccelerated="true"     
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>To the android manifest, it still tells me hardware acceleration(GPU rendering) is not enable.... </p>
  
  <p>(I use this to determine if it is enabled, yet it returns false</p>
  
  <pre><code>DrawingCanvas.isHardwareAccelerated()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>)
   that There must be someone to force android to just render using the GPU instead of the CPU. I currently am using android kitkat.</p>
