Vulkan extensions on Android

Android devices may fully or partially support Vulkan extensions that provide additional functionality.

To determine if a Vulkan extension is available on a particular target device, use the Vulkan extension enumeration functions (vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties() and vkEnumerateDeviceExtensionProperties()) as described in the Vulkan specification. To see an example, you can refer to this code sample in the Vulkan samples repo.

The following table summarizes the list of Vulkan extensions that Android supports, the minimum OS version for the extension support, and the extension type.
