--
To create a sname:VkSurfaceKHR object for an Android native window, call:
include::{generated}/api/protos/vkCreateAndroidSurfaceKHR.txt[]
* pname:instance is the instance to associate the surface with.
* pname:pCreateInfo is a pointer to an instance of the
sname:VkAndroidSurfaceCreateInfoKHR structure containing parameters
affecting the creation of the surface object.
* pname:pAllocator is the allocator used for host memory allocated for the
surface object when there is no more specific allocator available (see
<<memory-allocation,Memory Allocation>>).
* pname:pSurface points to a slink:VkSurfaceKHR handle in which the
created surface object is returned.
During the lifetime of a surface created using a particular
dlink:ANativeWindow handle any attempts to create another surface for the
same dlink:ANativeWindow and any attempts to connect to the same
dlink:ANativeWindow through other platform mechanisms will fail.
[NOTE]
.Note
====
In particular, only one sname:VkSurfaceKHR can: exist at a time for a given
window.
Similarly, a native window cannot: be used by both a sname:VkSurfaceKHR and
code:EGLSurface simultaneously.
====
If successful, fname:vkCreateAndroidSurfaceKHR increments the
dlink:ANativeWindow's reference count, and fname:vkDestroySurfaceKHR will
decrement it.
On Android, when a swapchain's pname:imageExtent does not match the
surface's pname:currentExtent, the presentable images will be scaled to the
surface's dimensions during presentation.
pname:minImageExtent is [eq]#(1,1)#, and pname:maxImageExtent is the maximum
image size supported by the consumer.
For the system compositor, pname:currentExtent is the window size (i.e. the
consumer's preferred size).

--
The sname:VkAndroidSurfaceCreateInfoKHR structure is defined as:
include::{generated}/api/structs/VkAndroidSurfaceCreateInfoKHR.txt[]
* pname:sType is the type of this structure.
* pname:pNext is `NULL` or a pointer to an extension-specific structure.
* pname:flags is reserved for future use.
* pname:window is a pointer to the dlink:ANativeWindow to associate the
surface with.
.Valid Usage
****
* [[VUID-VkAndroidSurfaceCreateInfoKHR-window-01248]]
pname:window must: point to a valid Android dlink:ANativeWindow.

To remove an unnecessary compile-time dependency, an incomplete type
definition of dlink:ANativeWindow is provided in the Vulkan headers:
include::{generated}/api/defines/ANativeWindow.txt[]
The actual dlink:ANativeWindow type is defined in Android NDK headers.
