The +VK_KHR_android_surface+ extension is an instance extension.
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 code: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.
