## Name

VkAndroidHardwareBufferPropertiesANDROID - Properties of External Memory Android Hardware Buffers

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkAndroidHardwareBufferPropertiesANDROID` structure returned is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_ANDROID_external_memory_android_hardware_buffer
    typedef struct VkAndroidHardwareBufferPropertiesANDROID {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        void*              pNext;
        VkDeviceSize       allocationSize;
        uint32_t           memoryTypeBits;
    } VkAndroidHardwareBufferPropertiesANDROID;

## Members

- `sType` is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

- `allocationSize` is the size of the external memory

- `memoryTypeBits` is a bitmask containing one bit set for every memory type which the specified Android hardware buffer can be imported as.

## Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkAndroidHardwareBufferPropertiesANDROID-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_ANDROID_HARDWARE_BUFFER_PROPERTIES_ANDROID`

- VUID-VkAndroidHardwareBufferPropertiesANDROID-pNext-pNext
  Each `pNext` member of any structure (including this one) in the `pNext` chain must be either `NULL` or a pointer to a valid instance of VkAndroidHardwareBufferFormatProperties2ANDROID, VkAndroidHardwareBufferFormatPropertiesANDROID, or VkAndroidHardwareBufferFormatResolvePropertiesANDROID

- VUID-VkAndroidHardwareBufferPropertiesANDROID-sType-unique
  The `sType` value of each structure in the `pNext` chain must be unique
