29    EGL Extension #49
30
31Dependencies
32
33    EGL 1.2 is required.
34
35    EGL_KHR_image_base is required.
36
37    This extension is written against the wording of the EGL 1.2
38    Specification.
39
40Overview
41
42    This extension enables using an Android window buffer (struct
43    ANativeWindowBuffer) as an EGLImage source.
44
45New Types
46
47    None.
48
49New Procedures and Functions
50
51    None.
52
53New Tokens
54
55    Accepted by the <target> parameter of eglCreateImageKHR:
56
57    EGL_NATIVE_BUFFER_ANDROID              0x3140
58
59Changes to Chapter 3 of the EGL 1.2 Specification (EGL Functions and Errors)
60
61    Add to section 2.5.1 "EGLImage Specification" (as defined by the
62    EGL_KHR_image_base specification), in the description of
63    eglCreateImageKHR:
64
65   "Values accepted for <target> are listed in Table aaa, below.
66
67      +----------------------------+-----------------------------------------+
68      |  <target>                  |  Notes                                  |
69      +----------------------------+-----------------------------------------+
70      |  EGL_NATIVE_BUFFER_ANDROID |  Used for ANativeWindowBuffer objects   |
71      +----------------------------+-----------------------------------------+
72       Table aaa.  Legal values for eglCreateImageKHR <target> parameter
73
74    ...
75
76    If <target> is EGL_NATIVE_BUFFER_ANDROID, <dpy> must be a valid display,
77    <ctx> must be EGL_NO_CONTEXT, <buffer> must be a pointer to a valid
78    ANativeWindowBuffer object (cast into the type EGLClientBuffer), and
79    attributes other than EGL_IMAGE_PRESERVED_KHR are ignored."
80
81    Add to the list of error conditions for eglCreateImageKHR:
82
83      "* If <target> is EGL_NATIVE_BUFFER_ANDROID and <buffer> is not a
84         pointer to a valid ANativeWindowBuffer, the error EGL_BAD_PARAMETER
85         is generated.
86
87       * If <target> is EGL_NATIVE_BUFFER_ANDROID and <ctx> is not
88         EGL_NO_CONTEXT, the error EGL_BAD_CONTEXT is generated.
89
90       * If <target> is EGL_NATIVE_BUFFER_ANDROID and <buffer> was created
91         with properties (format, usage, dimensions, etc.) not supported by
92         the EGL implementation, the error EGL_BAD_PARAMETER is generated."
93
94Issues
95
96    1. Should this extension define what combinations of ANativeWindowBuffer
97    properties implementations are required to support?
98
99    RESOLVED: No.
100
101    The requirements have evolved over time and will continue to change with
102    future Android releases. The minimum requirements for a given Android
103    version should be documented by that version.
