BitmapFactory::Options now let you specify if the resulting bitmap can be
"purgeable". If so, then its decoded pixels may be purged when not actively
being drawn, freeing up that RAM. When such a bitmap is drawn, it will
automatically be re-decoded on demand. This is done by having the bitmap
keep a reference/copy of the encoded data.
Where it is a reference or a copy is controlled by the "shareable" flag in
Options. If this is true, the implementation *may* just reference the encode
data (e.g. a file descriptor) rathern than making a complete copy of it.
Currently, purgeable is not supported for generic inputstreams, but is
enabled for byte-array, file-descriptor, and assets, though for impl
reasons only file-descripts are currently enabled for "shareable", but that
may change in the future.
This change adds four new public classes that expose a static OpenGL ES 1.1 API:
android.opengl.GLES10
android.opengl.GLES10Ext
android.opengl.GLES11
android.opengl.GLES11Ext
Benefits:
+ The static API is slightly faster (1% to 4%) than the existing Interface based JSR239 API.
+ The static API is similar to the C API, which should make it easier to import C-based
example code.
+ The static API provides a clear path for adding new OpenGL ES 1.1 extensions
and OpenGL ES 2.0 APIs, neither of which currently have a JSR standard.
Example:
import static android.opengl.GLES10.*;
...
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
Note that it is possible to mix-and-match calls to both the static and JSR239 APIs.
This works because neither API maintains state. They both call through to the same underlying
C OpenGL ES APIs.
Implementation details:
This change enhances the "glgen" "gen" script to generate both the original JSR239 and
new static OpenGL ES APIs. The contents of the generated JSR239 classes remained the same as before,
so there is no need to check in new versions of the generated JSR239 classes.
As part of this work the gen script was updated to be somewhat more robust, and to
work with git instead of perforce. The script prints out commands to git add the generated files,
but leaves it up to the script runner to actually execute those commands.
