set glLineWidth on Android device

cocos2d-x C++
#1

Hi,
I need to set width to draw lines in my game. On iOS simulator and my Samsung galaxy S phone, when I call glGetIntegerv(GL_ALIASED_LINE_WIDTH_RANGE) to get width range, the range is beetween 1 and 64, so I can set glLineWidth up to 64. But on Sony xperia z and HTC One, when I call glGetIntegerv(GL_ALIASED_LINE_WIDTH_RANGE) it return range from 1 to 8, so max glLineWidth I can set is 8. It’s too small. I need to set glLineWidth bigger. How can I do. Could you please help me to make glLineWidth bigger?

Thank you,

There is no way to make OGL ES implementation to draw a wider line. The only solution I see is to draw several lines side by side. But this could be not optimal in terms of performance. Consider implementing your own line drawing routine.
