public class RenderScript

This class was deprecated in API level 31.
Renderscript has been deprecated in API level 31. Please refer to the migration guide for the proposed alternatives.

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.

Developer Guides

For more information about creating an application that uses RenderScript, read the RenderScript developer guide.

From class java.lang.Object Object clone() Creates and returns a copy of this object. boolean equals(Object obj) Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. void finalize() Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. final Class<?> getClass() Returns the runtime class of this Object. int hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object. final void notify() Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor. final void notifyAll() Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor. String toString() Returns a string representation of the object. final void wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos) Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed. final void wait(long timeoutMillis) Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed. final void wait() Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.

Public methods

contextDump

Added in API level 11

public void contextDump ()

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

create

Added in API level 21
Deprecated in API level 31

public static RenderScript create (Context ctx, 
                RenderScript.ContextType ct, 
                int flags)

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

Returns
RenderScript	RenderScript

create

Added in API level 18
Deprecated in API level 31

public static RenderScript create (Context ctx, 
                RenderScript.ContextType ct)

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.

Returns
RenderScript	RenderScript

create

Added in API level 11

public static RenderScript create (Context ctx)

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

Parameters
ctx	Context: The context.

Returns
RenderScript	RenderScript

createMultiContext

Added in API level 23
Deprecated in API level 31

public static RenderScript createMultiContext (Context ctx, 
                RenderScript.ContextType ct, 
                int flags, 
                int API_number)

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.
ct	RenderScript.ContextType
flags	int
API_number	int

Returns
RenderScript	RenderScript

destroy

Added in API level 11

public void destroy ()

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

public void finish ()

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

public final Context getApplicationContext ()

Gets the application context associated with the RenderScript context.

Returns
Context	The application context.

getErrorHandler

Added in API level 11

public RenderScript.RSErrorHandler getErrorHandler ()

Returns
RenderScript.RSErrorHandler

getMessageHandler

Added in API level 11

public RenderScript.RSMessageHandler getMessageHandler ()

Returns
RenderScript.RSMessageHandler

getMinorVersion

Added in API level 23
Deprecated in API level 31

public static long getMinorVersion ()

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

Returns
long	The minor RenderScript version number

releaseAllContexts

Added in API level 23
Deprecated in API level 31

public static void releaseAllContexts ()

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

public void sendMessage (int id, 
                int[] data)

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

setErrorHandler

Added in API level 11

public void setErrorHandler (RenderScript.RSErrorHandler msg)

Parameters
msg	RenderScript.RSErrorHandler

setMessageHandler

Added in API level 11

public void setMessageHandler (RenderScript.RSMessageHandler msg)

Parameters
msg	RenderScript.RSMessageHandler

setPriority

Added in API level 11

public void setPriority (RenderScript.Priority p)

Change the priority of the worker threads for this context.

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

Protected methods

finalize

Added in API level 11

protected void finalize ()

Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. A subclass overrides the finalize method to dispose of system resources or to perform other cleanup.

The general contract of finalize is that it is invoked if and when the Java virtual machine has determined that there is no longer any means by which this object can be accessed by any thread that has not yet died, except as a result of an action taken by the finalization of some other object or class which is ready to be finalized. The finalize method may take any action, including making this object available again to other threads; the usual purpose of finalize, however, is to perform cleanup actions before the object is irrevocably discarded. For example, the finalize method for an object that represents an input/output connection might perform explicit I/O transactions to break the connection before the object is permanently discarded.

The finalize method of class Object performs no special action; it simply returns normally. Subclasses of Object may override this definition.

The Java programming language does not guarantee which thread will invoke the finalize method for any given object. It is guaranteed, however, that the thread that invokes finalize will not be holding any user-visible synchronization locks when finalize is invoked. If an uncaught exception is thrown by the finalize method, the exception is ignored and finalization of that object terminates.

After the finalize method has been invoked for an object, no further action is taken until the Java virtual machine has again determined that there is no longer any means by which this object can be accessed by any thread that has not yet died, including possible actions by other objects or classes which are ready to be finalized, at which point the object may be discarded.

The finalize method is never invoked more than once by a Java virtual machine for any given object.

Any exception thrown by the finalize method causes the finalization of this object to be halted, but is otherwise ignored.

Throws
Throwable
