Question

I noticed the following explanation in Android developer official website,

" we anticipate Skia to be slowly phased out without adverse effects to developers. Skia is currently deprecated and in maintenance mode but will be neccessary for a while because most apps published today still rely on non-hardware accelerated Canvas operations. In addition, not all Skia operations are supported by OpenGL, so some operations are still done in software with Skia, even with hardware acceleration turned on. "

Will that be any list available to tell me what operations are still being used in Android JB graphic part via skia?

I am sure any reference will be useful to me.

Thanks in advance.

Was it helpful?

Solution

The answer is available in the chart on the Hardware Acceleration page on the Android Developer site.

For more background you can watch the Google IO session on Hardware Rendering:
