C Specification
To import memory created outside of the current Vulkan instance from an
Android hardware buffer, add a
VkImportAndroidHardwareBufferInfoANDROID structure to the pNext
chain of the VkMemoryAllocateInfo structure.
The VkImportAndroidHardwareBufferInfoANDROID structure is defined as:
// Provided by VK_ANDROID_external_memory_android_hardware_buffer
typedef struct VkImportAndroidHardwareBufferInfoANDROID {
VkStructureType sType;
const void* pNext;
struct AHardwareBuffer* buffer;
} VkImportAndroidHardwareBufferInfoANDROID;
Members
-
sTypeis a VkStructureType value identifying this structure. -
pNextisNULLor a pointer to a structure extending this structure. -
bufferis the Android hardware buffer to import.
Description
If the vkAllocateMemory command succeeds, the implementation must acquire a reference to the imported hardware buffer, which it must release when the device memory object is freed. If the command fails, the implementation must not retain a reference.
