CREATOR

public static final Creator<Surface> CREATOR

Surface

public Surface (SurfaceControl from)

Create a Surface assosciated with a given SurfaceControl. Buffers submitted to this surface will be displayed by the system compositor according to the parameters specified by the control. Multiple surfaces may be constructed from one SurfaceControl, but only one can be connected (e.g. have an active EGL context) at a time.

Surface

public Surface (SurfaceTexture surfaceTexture)

Create Surface from a SurfaceTexture. Images drawn to the Surface will be made available to the SurfaceTexture, which can attach them to an OpenGL ES texture via SurfaceTexture#updateTexImage. Please note that holding onto the Surface created here is not enough to keep the provided SurfaceTexture from being reclaimed. In that sense, the Surface will act like a weak reference to the SurfaceTexture.

describeContents

public int describeContents ()

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation. For example, if the object will include a file descriptor in the output of writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel, int), the return value of this method must include the CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR bit.

isValid

public boolean isValid ()

Returns true if this object holds a valid surface.

lockCanvas

public Canvas lockCanvas (Rect inOutDirty)

Gets a Canvas for drawing into this surface. After drawing into the provided Canvas, the caller must invoke unlockCanvasAndPost(Canvas) to post the new contents to the surface.

lockHardwareCanvas

public Canvas lockHardwareCanvas ()

Gets a Canvas for drawing into this surface. After drawing into the provided Canvas, the caller must invoke unlockCanvasAndPost(Canvas) to post the new contents to the surface. Unlike lockCanvas(android.graphics.Rect) this will return a hardware-accelerated canvas. See the unsupported drawing operations for a list of what is and isn't supported in a hardware-accelerated canvas. It is also required to fully cover the surface every time lockHardwareCanvas() is called as the buffer is not preserved between frames. Partial updates are not supported.

readFromParcel

public void readFromParcel (Parcel source)

release

public void release ()

Release the local reference to the server-side surface. Always call release() when you're done with a Surface. This will make the surface invalid.

toString

public String toString ()

Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the toString method returns a string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.

The toString method for class Object returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character `@', and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of:

 getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
 

unlockCanvas

public void unlockCanvas (Canvas canvas)

This method was deprecated in API level 17.
This API has been removed and is not supported. Do not use.

unlockCanvasAndPost

public void unlockCanvasAndPost (Canvas canvas)

Posts the new contents of the Canvas to the surface and releases the Canvas.

writeToParcel

public void writeToParcel (Parcel dest, 
                int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

finalize

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.
