Functions

SwappyGL_clearStats

void SwappyGL_clearStats()

Clears the frame statistics collected so far.

All the frame statistics collected are reset to 0, frame statistics are collected normally after this call.

SwappyGL_enableStats

void SwappyGL_enableStats(
  bool enabled
)

Toggle statistics collection on/off.

By default, stats collection is off and there is no overhead related to stats. An app can turn on stats collection by calling SwappyGL_enableStats(true). Then, the app is expected to call SwappyGL_recordFrameStart for each frame before starting to do any CPU related work. Stats will be logged to logcat with a 'FrameStatistics' tag. An app can get the stats by calling SwappyGL_getStats.

SwappyGL_getStats

void SwappyGL_getStats(
  SwappyStats *swappyStats
)

Returns the stats collected, if statistics collection was toggled on.

Details
Parameters
swappyStats
Pointer to a SwappyStats that will be populated with collected stats.

SwappyGL_injectTracer

void SwappyGL_injectTracer(
  const SwappyTracer *t
)

Pass callbacks to be called each frame to trace execution.

SwappyGL_onChoreographer

void SwappyGL_onChoreographer(
  int64_t frameTimeNanos
)

If an app wishes to use the Android choreographer to provide ticks to Swappy, it can call this function.

This function must be called before the first Swappy_swap() call. Afterwards, call this function every choreographer tick.

SwappyGL_recordFrameStart

void SwappyGL_recordFrameStart(
  EGLDisplay display,
  EGLSurface surface
)

Should be called if stats have been enabled with SwappyGL_enableStats.

When stats collection is enabled with SwappyGL_enableStats, the app is expected to call this function for each frame before starting to do any CPU related work.

See also:SwappyGL_enableStats.

SwappyGL_setAutoPipelineMode

void SwappyGL_setAutoPipelineMode(
  bool enabled
)

Toggle auto-pipeline mode on/off.

By default, if auto-swap interval is on, auto-pipelining is on and Swappy will try to reduce latency by scheduling cpu and gpu work in the same pipeline stage, if it fits.

SwappyGL_setAutoSwapInterval

void SwappyGL_setAutoSwapInterval(
  bool enabled
)

Toggle auto-swap interval detection on/off.

By default, Swappy will adjust the swap interval based on actual frame rendering time. If an app wants to override the swap interval calculated by Swappy, it can call SwappyGL_setSwapIntervalNS. This will temporarily override Swappy's frame timings but, unless SwappyGL_setAutoSwapInterval(false) is called, the timings will continue to be be updated dynamically, so the swap interval may change.

SwappyGL_setMaxAutoSwapIntervalNS

void SwappyGL_setMaxAutoSwapIntervalNS(
  uint64_t max_swap_ns
)

Sets the maximal duration for auto-swap interval in milliseconds.

If Swappy is operating in auto-swap interval and the frame duration is longer than max_swap_ns, Swappy will not do any pacing and just submit the frame as soon as possible.

SwappyGL_uninjectTracer

void SwappyGL_uninjectTracer(
  const SwappyTracer *t
)

Remove callbacks that were previously added using SwappyGL_injectTracer.
