I’ve been trying for hours to put a circle into a VBO and then draw a bunch of them using OpenGL es 1.1. The circle draws fine when I use drawArray w/o using the VBO. The program compiles and runs but the screen is blank. This is pretty lengthy, so I don’t expect a reply, but I would really appreciate some help. This is my second day of opengl programming, and I really enjoy it, but it can also be frustrating.

testBuffer.put((float) (Math.cos(theta)));
testBuffer.put((float) (Math.sin(theta)));
testBuffer.put(1);
theta += 2 * Math.PI / (numVerticesHR);
