SurfaceControl

Kotlin |Java

public final class SurfaceControl
extends Object implements Parcelable

java.lang.Object
↳	android.view.SurfaceControl

Handle to an on-screen Surface managed by the system compositor. The SurfaceControl is a combination of a buffer source, and metadata about how to display the buffers. By constructing a Surface from this SurfaceControl you can submit buffers to be composited. Using SurfaceControl.Transaction you can manipulate various properties of how the buffer will be displayed on-screen. SurfaceControl's are arranged into a scene-graph like hierarchy, and as such any SurfaceControl may have a parent. Geometric properties like transform, crop, and Z-ordering will be inherited from the parent, as if the child were content in the parents buffer stream.

BUFFER_TRANSFORM_IDENTITY

Added in API level 32

public static final int BUFFER_TRANSFORM_IDENTITY

Identity transform. These transforms that can be applied to buffers as they are displayed to a window.

Fields

CREATOR

Added in API level 29

public static final Creator<SurfaceControl> CREATOR

Public methods

describeContents

Added in API level 29

public int describeContents ()

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation. For example, if the object will include a file descriptor in the output of writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel, int), the return value of this method must include the CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR bit.

Returns
`int`	a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance. Value is either `0` or `CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR`

isValid

Added in API level 29

public boolean isValid ()

Check whether this instance points to a valid layer with the system-compositor. For example this may be false if construction failed, or the layer was released (release()).

Returns
`boolean`	Whether this SurfaceControl is valid.

readFromParcel

Added in API level 29

public void readFromParcel (Parcel in)

Parameters
`in`	`Parcel`

release

Added in API level 29

public void release ()

Release the local reference to the server-side surface. The surface may continue to exist on-screen as long as its parent continues to exist. To explicitly remove a surface from the screen use Transaction.reparent with a null-parent. After release, isValid() will return false and other methods will throw an exception. Always call release() when you're done with a SurfaceControl.

toString

Added in API level 29

public String toString ()

Returns a string representation of the object.

Returns
`String`	a string representation of the object.

writeToParcel

Added in API level 29

public void writeToParcel (Parcel dest, 
                int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Parameters
`dest`	`Parcel`: The Parcel in which the object should be written. This value cannot be `null`.
`flags`	`int`: Additional flags about how the object should be written. May be 0 or `Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE`. Value is either `0` or a combination of the following: `Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE`

Protected methods

finalize

protected void finalize ()

Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. A subclass overrides the finalize method to dispose of system resources or to perform other cleanup.

The general contract of finalize is that it is invoked if and when the Java virtual machine has determined that there is no longer any means by which this object can be accessed by any thread that has not yet died, except as a result of an action taken by the finalization of some other object or class which is ready to be finalized. The finalize method may take any action, including making this object available again to other threads; the usual purpose of finalize, however, is to perform cleanup actions before the object is irrevocably discarded. For example, the finalize method for an object that represents an input/output connection might perform explicit I/O transactions to break the connection before the object is permanently discarded.

The finalize method of class Object performs no special action; it simply returns normally. Subclasses of Object may override this definition.

The Java programming language does not guarantee which thread will invoke the finalize method for any given object. It is guaranteed, however, that the thread that invokes finalize will not be holding any user-visible synchronization locks when finalize is invoked. If an uncaught exception is thrown by the finalize method, the exception is ignored and finalization of that object terminates.

After the finalize method has been invoked for an object, no further action is taken until the Java virtual machine has again determined that there is no longer any means by which this object can be accessed by any thread that has not yet died, including possible actions by other objects or classes which are ready to be finalized, at which point the object may be discarded.

The finalize method is never invoked more than once by a Java virtual machine for any given object.

Any exception thrown by the finalize method causes the finalization of this object to be halted, but is otherwise ignored.

Throws
`Throwable`
