How to fill each side of a cube with different textures on OpenGL ES 1.1?

Please, I need tutorials/code examples of how to fill each side of a cube with different textures on OpenGL ES 1.1

I found a lot of tutorials but none of them explain clearly how to put different textures in each face and none of them gives easy code examples of how to do it.

My actual code (from nehe examples) that draws a cube with the same texture on each face:

public class Cube {

/** The buffer holding the vertices */
private FloatBuffer vertexBuffer;
/** The buffer holding the texture coordinates */
private FloatBuffer textureBuffer;
/** The buffer holding the indices */
private ByteBuffer indexBuffer;

/** Our texture pointer */
private int[] textures = new int[1];

/** 
 * The initial vertex definition
 * 
 * Note that each face is defined, even
 * if indices are available, because
 * of the texturing we want to achieve 
 */ 
private float vertices[] = {
                    //Vertices according to faces
                    -1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f, //Vertex 0
                    1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f,  //v1
                    -1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f,  //v2
                    1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f,   //v3

                    1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f,  //...
                    1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f,

To make each face have a different texture, you need to render each face of the cube individually. This means for each face you need to set the texture and then render the face (using glDrawArrays or glDrawElements). So it would look something like:

glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
...                        //maybe other state setup (like buffer bindings)
glVertexPointer(...);
glEnableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
...

for each(face of cube)
{
    glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, <face_texture>);
    glDrawArrays(...) or glDrawElements(...);      //draw only a single face
}

glDisableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
...
glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
...                         //maybe other state cleanup

You cannot render all the faces of the cube in one call if they need different textures. But you can of course still hold them all in a single array/VBO and just use the arguments to glDrawArrays or glDrawElements to select the corresponding face, like done above.

This is a rather simplified pseudo-code example and if all this sounds very alien to you, you should delve a little deeper into OpenGL and applying a different texture to each face of a cube is your least problem.

EDIT: Ok, according to your updated code: First of all, since all your vertices' positions and texCoords are stored in the same arrays, we don't need to change these per face. Furthermore, your index array seems to contain all faces stored contigously as 6 indices (2 triangles) for each face. All this makes the whole situation very easy. Just replace your existing glDrawElements call with this loop over all faces:

for(i=0; i<6; ++i)
{
    gl.glBindTexture(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture[i]);   //use texture of ith face
    indexBuffer.position(6*i);                          //select ith face

    //draw 2 triangles making up this face
    gl.glDrawElements(GL10.GL_TRIANGLES, 6, GL10.GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, indexBuffer);
}

So for each face we select its texture and draw only the 2 triangles that correspond to this face.

In general when learning from code samples, instead of a book or something similar, you should at least make sure that you understand the meaning of each line of code and each function parameter. Only then you are able to freely adapt the code to your needs and develop solutions for problems.

I managed to piece together the answer from Christians, for those interested, here is the full Cube.java code:
