How to draw a texture as a 2D background in OpenGL ES 2.0?

Question

I'm just getting started with OpenGL ES 2.0, what I'd like to do is create some simple 2D output. Given a resolution of 480x800, how can I draw a background texture?

[My development environment is Java / Android, so examples directly relating to that would be best, but other languages would be fine.]

Answer 1

Just draw a texture mapped quad. It's the standard way of doing it.
