RenderScript

open class RenderScript
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.renderscript.RenderScript

This class provides access to a RenderScript context, which controls RenderScript initialization, resource management, and teardown. An instance of the RenderScript class must be created before any other RS objects can be created.

Summary

Nested classes

ContextType specifies the specific type of context to be created.

RenderScript worker thread priority enumeration.
open

The runtime error handler base class.
open

The base class from which an application should derive in order to receive RS messages from scripts.

Public methods

contextDump

Added in API level 11
open fun contextDump(): Unit

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Print the currently available debugging information about the state of the RS context to the log.

create

Added in API level 11
open static fun create(ctx: Context!): RenderScript!

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

calls create(ctx, ContextType.NORMAL, CREATE_FLAG_NONE) See documentation for @create for details

Parameters
ctx Context!: The context.
Return
RenderScript! RenderScript

create

Added in API level 18
Deprecated in API level 31
open static fun create(
    ctx: Context!, 
    ct: RenderScript.ContextType!
): RenderScript!

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

calls create(ctx, ct, CREATE_FLAG_NONE) See documentation for @create for details

Parameters
ctx Context!: The context.
ct RenderScript.ContextType!: The type of context to be created.
Return
RenderScript! RenderScript

create

Added in API level 21
Deprecated in API level 31
open static fun create(
    ctx: Context!, 
    ct: RenderScript.ContextType!, 
    flags: Int
): RenderScript!

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Gets or creates a RenderScript context of the specified type. The returned context will be cached for future reuse within the process. When an application is finished using RenderScript it should call releaseAllContexts() A process context is a context designed for easy creation and lifecycle management. Multiple calls to this function will return the same object provided they are called with the same options. This allows it to be used any time a RenderScript context is needed. Prior to API 23 this always created a new context.

Parameters
ctx Context!: The context.
ct RenderScript.ContextType!: The type of context to be created.
flags Int: The OR of the CREATE_FLAG_* options desired
Return
RenderScript! RenderScript

createMultiContext

Added in API level 23
Deprecated in API level 31
open static fun createMultiContext(
    ctx: Context!, 
    ct: RenderScript.ContextType!, 
    flags: Int, 
    API_number: Int
): RenderScript!

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Create a RenderScript context. This is an advanced function intended for applications which need to create more than one RenderScript context to be used at the same time. If you need a single context please use create()

Parameters
ctx Context!: The context.
Return
RenderScript! RenderScript

destroy

Added in API level 11
open fun destroy(): Unit

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Destroys this RenderScript context. Once this function is called, using this context or any objects belonging to this context is illegal. API 23+, this function is a NOP if the context was created with create(). Please use releaseAllContexts() to clean up contexts created with the create function.

finish

Added in API level 11
open fun finish(): Unit

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Wait for any pending asynchronous opeations (such as copies to a RS allocation or RS script executions) to complete.

getApplicationContext

Added in API level 11
fun getApplicationContext(): Context!

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Gets the application context associated with the RenderScript context.

Return
Context! The application context.

getErrorHandler

Added in API level 11
open fun getErrorHandler(): RenderScript.RSErrorHandler!

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

getMessageHandler

Added in API level 11
open fun getMessageHandler(): RenderScript.RSMessageHandler!

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

getMinorVersion

Added in API level 23
Deprecated in API level 31
open static fun getMinorVersion(): Long

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Returns an identifier that can be used to identify a particular minor version of RS.

Return
Long The minor RenderScript version number

releaseAllContexts

Added in API level 23
Deprecated in API level 31
open static fun releaseAllContexts(): Unit

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Releases all the process contexts. This is the same as calling .destroy() on each unique context retreived with create(...). If no contexts have been created this function does nothing. Typically you call this when your application is losing focus and will not be using a context for some time. This has no effect on a context created with createMultiContext()

sendMessage

Added in API level 18
Deprecated in API level 31
open fun sendMessage(
    id: Int, 
    data: IntArray!
): Unit

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Place a message into the message queue to be sent back to the message handler once all previous commands have been executed.

Parameters
id Int:
data IntArray!:

setErrorHandler

Added in API level 11
open fun setErrorHandler(msg: RenderScript.RSErrorHandler!): Unit

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

setMessageHandler

Added in API level 11
open fun setMessageHandler(msg: RenderScript.RSMessageHandler!): Unit

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

setPriority

Added in API level 11
open fun setPriority(p: RenderScript.Priority!): Unit

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Change the priority of the worker threads for this context.

Parameters
p RenderScript.Priority!: New priority to be set.
