SurfaceTexture

ASurfaceTexture is an opaque type to manage SurfaceTexture from native code

ASurfaceTexture can be obtained from an android.graphics.SurfaceTexture object using ASurfaceTexture_fromSurfaceTexture().

Returns a reference to an ANativeWindow (i.e.

the Producer) for this SurfaceTexture. This is equivalent to Java's: Surface sur = new Surface(surfaceTexture);

Available since API level 28.

Attach the SurfaceTexture to the OpenGL ES context that is current on the calling thread.

A new OpenGL ES texture object is created and populated with the SurfaceTexture image frame that was current at the time of the last call to ASurfaceTexture_detachFromGLContext. This new texture is bound to the GL_TEXTURE_EXTERNAL_OES texture target.

This can be used to access the SurfaceTexture image contents from multiple OpenGL ES contexts. Note, however, that the image contents are only accessible from one OpenGL ES context at a time.

Available since API level 28.

Detach the SurfaceTexture from the OpenGL ES context that owns the OpenGL ES texture object.

This call must be made with the OpenGL ES context current on the calling thread. The OpenGL ES texture object will be deleted as a result of this call. After calling this method all calls to ASurfaceTexture_updateTexImage will fail until a successful call to ASurfaceTexture_attachToGLContext is made.

This can be used to access the SurfaceTexture image contents from multiple OpenGL ES contexts. Note, however, that the image contents are only accessible from one OpenGL ES context at a time.

Available since API level 28.

Get a reference to the native ASurfaceTexture from the corresponding java object.

The caller must keep a reference to the Java SurfaceTexture during the lifetime of the returned ASurfaceTexture. Failing to do so could result in the ASurfaceTexture to stop functioning properly once the Java object gets finalized. However, this will not result in program termination.

Available since API level 28.

Retrieve the timestamp associated with the texture image set by the most recent call to updateTexImage.

This timestamp is in nanoseconds, and is normally monotonically increasing. The timestamp should be unaffected by time-of-day adjustments, and for a camera should be strictly monotonic but for a MediaPlayer may be reset when the position is set. The specific meaning and zero point of the timestamp depends on the source providing images to the SurfaceTexture. Unless otherwise specified by the image source, timestamps cannot generally be compared across SurfaceTexture instances, or across multiple program invocations. It is mostly useful for determining time offsets between subsequent frames.

For EGL/Vulkan producers, this timestamp is the desired present time set with the EGL_ANDROID_presentation_time or VK_GOOGLE_display_timing extensions

Available since API level 28.

Retrieve the 4x4 texture coordinate transform matrix associated with the texture image set by the most recent call to updateTexImage.

This transform matrix maps 2D homogeneous texture coordinates of the form (s, t, 0, 1) with s and t in the inclusive range [0, 1] to the texture coordinate that should be used to sample that location from the texture. Sampling the texture outside of the range of this transform is undefined.

The matrix is stored in column-major order so that it may be passed directly to OpenGL ES via the glLoadMatrixf or glUniformMatrix4fv functions.

Available since API level 28.

Release the reference to the native ASurfaceTexture acquired with ASurfaceTexture_fromSurfaceTexture().

Failing to do so will result in leaked memory and graphic resources.

Available since API level 28.

Update the texture image to the most recent frame from the image stream.

This may only be called while the OpenGL ES context that owns the texture is current on the calling thread. It will implicitly bind its texture to the GL_TEXTURE_EXTERNAL_OES texture target.

Available since API level 28.
