Type

Kotlin |Java

public class Type
extends BaseObj

This class was deprecated in API level 31.
Renderscript has been deprecated in API level 31. Please refer to the migration guide for the proposed alternatives.

A Type describes the Element and dimensions used for an Allocation or a parallel operation. Types are created through Type.Builder.

A Type always includes an Element and an X dimension. A Type may be multidimensional, up to three dimensions. A nonzero value in the Y or Z dimensions indicates that the dimension is present. Note that a Type with only a given X dimension and a Type with the same X dimension but Y = 1 are not equivalent.

A Type also supports inclusion of level of detail (LOD) or cube map faces. LOD and cube map faces are booleans to indicate present or not present.

A Type also supports YUV format information to support an Allocation in a YUV format. The YUV formats supported are ImageFormat.YV12, ImageFormat.NV21, and ImageFormat.YUV_420_888

Inherited methods

From class


        
          android.renderscript.BaseObj

`void`	`destroy()` Frees any native resources associated with this object.
`boolean`	`equals(Object obj)` Compare the current BaseObj with another BaseObj for equality.
`void`	`finalize()` Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.
`String`	`getName()`
`int`	`hashCode()` Calculates the hash code value for a BaseObj.
`void`	`setName(String name)` setName assigns a name to an object.

From class


        
          java.lang.Object

`Object`	`clone()` Creates and returns a copy of this object.
`boolean`	`equals(Object obj)` Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
`void`	`finalize()` Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.
`final Class<?>`	`getClass()` Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
`int`	`hashCode()` Returns a hash code value for the object.
`final void`	`notify()` Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`notifyAll()` Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
`String`	`toString()` Returns a string representation of the object.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis)` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait()` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.
