It provides a mechanism to create a slink:VkSurfaceKHR object (defined by the +VK_KHR_surface+ extension) that refers to an code:ANativeWindow, Android's native surface type. The code:ANativeWindow represents the producer endpoint of any buffer queue, regardless of consumer endpoint. Common consumer endpoints for code:ANativeWindows are the system window compositor, video encoders, and application-specific compositors importing the images through a SurfaceTexture. === New Object Types None === New Enum Constants * Extending elink:VkStructureType: ** ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_ANDROID_SURFACE_CREATE_INFO_KHR === New Enums None === New Structures * slink:VkAndroidSurfaceCreateInfoKHR === New Functions * flink:vkCreateAndroidSurfaceKHR === Issues 1) Does Android need a way to query for compatibility between a particular physical device (and queue family?) and a specific Android display? *RESOLVED*: No. Currently on Android, any GPU is expected to be able to present to the system compositor, and all queue families must support the necessary image layout transitions and synchronization operations. === Version History * Revision 1, 2015-09-23 (Jesse Hall) - Initial draft. * Revision 2, 2015-10-26 (Ian Elliott) - Renamed from VK_EXT_KHR_android_surface to VK_KHR_android_surface. * Revision 3, 2015-11-03 (Daniel Rakos) - Added allocation callbacks to surface creation function. * Revision 4, 2015-11-10 (Jesse Hall) - Removed VK_ERROR_INVALID_ANDROID_WINDOW_KHR. * Revision 5, 2015-11-28 (Daniel Rakos) - Updated the surface create function to take a pCreateInfo structure. * Revision 6, 2016-01-14 (James Jones) - Moved VK_ERROR_NATIVE_WINDOW_IN_USE_KHR from the VK_KHR_android_surface to the VK_KHR_surface extension.
