    ...
    class GraphicsManager {

        ...
        GLuint loadShader(const char* pVertexShader,

                int32_t pVertexBufferSize);
    
    private:
        ...
        GLuint mShaders[32]; int32_t mShaderCount;
        GLuint mVertexBuffers[32]; int32_t mVertexBufferCount;
    
        GraphicsComponent* mComponents[32]; int32_t mComponentCount;
    };
    #endif
  2. In jni/GraphicsManager.cpp, update the constructor initialization list and free vertex buffer resources in stop():
    ... GraphicsManager::GraphicsManager(android_app* ...
