C Specification

The format properties of an Android hardware buffer can be obtained by including a VkAndroidHardwareBufferFormatProperties2ANDROID structure in the pNext chain of the VkAndroidHardwareBufferPropertiesANDROID structure passed to vkGetAndroidHardwareBufferPropertiesANDROID. This structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_ANDROID_external_memory_android_hardware_buffer with VK_KHR_format_feature_flags2 or VK_VERSION_1_3
typedef struct VkAndroidHardwareBufferFormatProperties2ANDROID {
    VkStructureType                  sType;
    void*                            pNext;
    VkFormat                         format;
    uint64_t                         externalFormat;
    VkFormatFeatureFlags2            formatFeatures;
    VkComponentMapping               samplerYcbcrConversionComponents;
    VkSamplerYcbcrModelConversion    suggestedYcbcrModel;
    VkSamplerYcbcrRange              suggestedYcbcrRange;
    VkChromaLocation                 suggestedXChromaOffset;
    VkChromaLocation                 suggestedYChromaOffset;
} VkAndroidHardwareBufferFormatProperties2ANDROID;

Members

  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

  • pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

  • format is the Vulkan format corresponding to the Android hardware buffer’s format, or VK_FORMAT_UNDEFINED if there is not an equivalent Vulkan format.

  • externalFormat is an implementation-defined external format identifier for use with VkExternalFormatANDROID. It must not be zero.

  • formatFeatures describes the capabilities of this external format when used with an image bound to memory imported from buffer.

  • samplerYcbcrConversionComponents is the component swizzle that should be used in VkSamplerYcbcrConversionCreateInfo.

  • suggestedYcbcrModel is a suggested color model to use in the VkSamplerYcbcrConversionCreateInfo.

  • suggestedYcbcrRange is a suggested numerical value range to use in VkSamplerYcbcrConversionCreateInfo.

  • suggestedXChromaOffset is a suggested X chroma offset to use in VkSamplerYcbcrConversionCreateInfo.

  • suggestedYChromaOffset is a suggested Y chroma offset to use in VkSamplerYcbcrConversionCreateInfo.

Description

The bits reported in formatFeatures must include the bits reported in the corresponding fields of VkAndroidHardwareBufferFormatPropertiesANDROID::formatFeatures.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-VkAndroidHardwareBufferFormatProperties2ANDROID-sType-sType
    sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_ANDROID_HARDWARE_BUFFER_FORMAT_PROPERTIES_2_ANDROID
