I’m using BabylonJS (4.2.0 or 5.0.0-alpha) in an Android WebView. When I call `new Engine(canvas, true, {})`, I see the following error in the console:

`E/chromium: [ERROR:gles2_cmd_decoder_autogen.h(1612)] [.WebGL-0xca07af00]GL ERROR :GL_INVALID_ENUM : GetIntegerv: <- error from previous GL command`

(I see lots of other egl errors as well but this is the only one tagged as coming from chromium.)

I’m not sure whether this is a bug or something I’m doing wrong or perhaps it’s related to my device or emulator settings.

Your call is correct (as long as canvas is really a canvas), it could be an Angle bug:

> \<script\>
> let Application = PIXI.Application,

If you can provide a repro in the Playground we could (maybe) help more.

I don’t see these errors on device, only in the Android emulators.
