public static final class ScriptGroup.Builder2
extends Object

   ↳ android.renderscript.ScriptGroup.Builder2


The builder class for creating script groups

A script group is created using closures (see class Closure). A closure is a function call to a kernel or invocable function. Each function argument or global variable accessed inside the function is bound to 1) a known value, 2) a script group input (see class Input), or 3) a future (see class Future). A future is the output of a closure, either the return value of the function or a global variable written by that function.

Closures are created using the addKernel(KernelID, Type, Object) or addInvoke(InvokeID, Object) methods. When a closure is created, futures from previously created closures can be used as its inputs. External script group inputs can be used as inputs to individual closures as well. An external script group input is created using the addInput() method. A script group is created by a call to the create(String, Future) method, which accepts an array of futures as the outputs for the script group.

Closures in a script group can be evaluated in any order as long as the following conditions are met: 1) a closure must be evaluated before any other closures that take its futures as inputs; 2) all closures added before an invoke closure must be evaluated before it; and 3) all closures added after an invoke closure must be evaluated after it. As a special case, the order that the closures are added is a legal evaluation order. However, other evaluation orders are possible, including concurrently evaluating independent closures.

Inherited methods

Public constructors

Builder2

Added in API level 23
public Builder2 (RenderScript rs)

Returns a Builder object

Parameters
rs RenderScript: the RenderScript context

Public methods

addInput

Added in API level 23
public ScriptGroup.Input addInput ()

Adds a script group input

Returns
ScriptGroup.Input a script group input, which can be used as an argument or a value to a global variable for creating closures

addInvoke

Added in API level 23
public ScriptGroup.Closure addInvoke (Script.InvokeID invoke, 
                Object... argsAndBindings)

Adds a closure for an invocable function

Parameters
invoke Script.InvokeID: Invoke ID for the invocable function

argsAndBindings Object: arguments followed by bindings for global variables

Returns
ScriptGroup.Closure a closure

addKernel

Added in API level 23
public ScriptGroup.Closure addKernel (Script.KernelID k, 
                Type returnType, 
                Object... argsAndBindings)

Adds a closure for a kernel

Parameters
k Script.KernelID: Kernel ID for the kernel function

returnType Type

argsAndBindings Object: arguments followed by bindings for global variables

Returns
ScriptGroup.Closure a closure

create

Added in API level 23
public ScriptGroup create (String name, 
                Future... outputs)

Creates a script group

Parameters
name String: name for the script group. Legal names can only contain letters, digits, '-', or '_'. The name can be no longer than 100 characters. Try to use unique names, to avoid name conflicts and reduce the cost of group creation.

outputs Future: futures intended as outputs of the script group

Returns
ScriptGroup a script group
