title: How to set background colour on Open GL ES Android
body: <p>I am currently playing about with lesson 08 here </p>

  <p>I would like to change the background colour from black to white. In order to do this at the start of onDrawFrame() I have called </p>
  
  <p>gl.glClearColor(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);</p>
  
  <p>This does indeed set a white background screen, but also results in nothing else showing up on the screen! Clearly this is therefore an incorrect method, but why, and how do I fix it?!</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks in advance.</p>
  
  <p>Edit (5 days later): Does nobody know at all?!!</p>
