CHANGE_FRAME_RATE_ALWAYS

static val CHANGE_FRAME_RATE_ALWAYS: Int

Change the frame rate even if the transition is going to be non-seamless, i.e. with visual interruptions for the user. Non-seamless switches might be used when the benefit of matching the content's frame rate outweighs the cost of the transition, for example when displaying long-running video content.

Value: 1

CHANGE_FRAME_RATE_ONLY_IF_SEAMLESS

static val CHANGE_FRAME_RATE_ONLY_IF_SEAMLESS: Int

Change the frame rate only if the transition is going to be seamless.

Value: 0

FRAME_RATE_COMPATIBILITY_DEFAULT

static val FRAME_RATE_COMPATIBILITY_DEFAULT: Int

There are no inherent restrictions on the frame rate of this surface. When the system selects a frame rate other than what the app requested, the app will be able to run at the system frame rate without requiring pull down. This value should be used when displaying game content, UIs, and anything that isn't video.

Value: 0

FRAME_RATE_COMPATIBILITY_FIXED_SOURCE

static val FRAME_RATE_COMPATIBILITY_FIXED_SOURCE: Int

This surface is being used to display content with an inherently fixed frame rate, e.g. a video that has a specific frame rate. When the system selects a frame rate other than what the app requested, the app will need to do pull down or use some other technique to adapt to the system's frame rate. The user experience is likely to be worse (e.g. more frame stuttering) than it would be if the system had chosen the app's requested frame rate. This value should be used for video content.

Value: 1

ROTATION_0

static val ROTATION_0: Int

Rotation constant: 0 degree rotation (natural orientation)

Value: 0

ROTATION_180

static val ROTATION_180: Int

Rotation constant: 180 degree rotation.

Value: 2

ROTATION_270

static val ROTATION_270: Int

Rotation constant: 270 degree rotation.

Value: 3

ROTATION_90

static val ROTATION_90: Int

Rotation constant: 90 degree rotation.

Value: 1

Surface

Surface(surfaceTexture: SurfaceTexture!)

Create Surface from a SurfaceTexture. Images drawn to the Surface will be made available to the SurfaceTexture, which can attach them to an OpenGL ES texture via android.graphics.SurfaceTexture#updateTexImage. Please note that holding onto the Surface created here is not enough to keep the provided SurfaceTexture from being reclaimed. In that sense, the Surface will act like a weak reference to the SurfaceTexture.

Surface

Surface(from: SurfaceControl)

Create a Surface associated with a given SurfaceControl. Buffers submitted to this surface will be displayed by the system compositor according to the parameters specified by the control. Multiple surfaces may be constructed from one SurfaceControl, but only one can be connected (e.g. have an active EGL context) at a time.

clearFrameRate

open fun clearFrameRate(): Unit

Clears the frame rate which was set for this surface.

This is equivalent to calling setFrameRate(float,int,int) using 0 for frameRate.

Note that this only has an effect for surfaces presented on the display. If this surface is consumed by something other than the system compositor, e.g. a media codec, this call has no effect.

describeContents

open fun describeContents(): Int

isValid

open fun isValid(): Boolean

Returns true if this object holds a valid surface.

lockCanvas

open fun lockCanvas(inOutDirty: Rect!): Canvas!

Gets a Canvas for drawing into this surface. After drawing into the provided Canvas, the caller must invoke unlockCanvasAndPost to post the new contents to the surface.

lockHardwareCanvas

open fun lockHardwareCanvas(): Canvas!

Gets a Canvas for drawing into this surface. After drawing into the provided Canvas, the caller must invoke unlockCanvasAndPost to post the new contents to the surface. Unlike lockCanvas(android.graphics.Rect) this will return a hardware-accelerated canvas. See the unsupported drawing operations for a list of what is and isn't supported in a hardware-accelerated canvas. It is also required to fully cover the surface every time lockHardwareCanvas() is called as the buffer is not preserved between frames. Partial updates are not supported.

readFromParcel

open fun readFromParcel(source: Parcel!): Unit

release

open fun release(): Unit

Release the local reference to the server-side surface. Always call release() when you're done with a Surface. This will make the surface invalid.

setFrameRate

open fun setFrameRate(
    frameRate: Float, 
    compatibility: Int
): Unit

Sets the intended frame rate for this surface. Any switching of refresh rates is most probably going to be seamless.

setFrameRate

open fun setFrameRate(
    frameRate: Float, 
    compatibility: Int, 
    changeFrameRateStrategy: Int
): Unit

Sets the intended frame rate for this surface.

On devices that are capable of running the display at different refresh rates, the system may choose a display refresh rate to better match this surface's frame rate. Usage of this API won't introduce frame rate throttling, or affect other aspects of the application's frame production pipeline. However, because the system may change the display refresh rate, calls to this function may result in changes to Choreographer callback timings, and changes to the time interval at which the system releases buffers back to the application.

Note that this only has an effect for surfaces presented on the display. If this surface is consumed by something other than the system compositor, e.g. a media codec, this call has no effect.

toString

open fun toString(): String

unlockCanvas

open fun unlockCanvas(canvas: Canvas!): Unit

Deprecated: This API has been removed and is not supported. Do not use.

unlockCanvasAndPost

open fun unlockCanvasAndPost(canvas: Canvas!): Unit

Posts the new contents of the Canvas to the surface and releases the Canvas.

writeToParcel

open fun writeToParcel(
    dest: Parcel, 
    flags: Int
): Unit

finalize

protected open fun finalize(): Unit

CREATOR

static val CREATOR: Parcelable.Creator<Surface!>
