Android port about vello HOT 6 CLOSED

piet-gpu currently has working android support without winit (see android.rs in piet-gpu/piet-gpu) and can be made to work with winit

but since winit's android backend will change soon, I think I'll wait for the next version before adding support

The Pixel 4 also does not have descriptor indexing. Again, this should be queried at runtime. This issue is considerably more complex, as it requires multiple compilations of k4, and also CPU-side code to deal with the non descriptor indexing case. The local branch just disables images.

In case you haven't seen the option, there's a header define to disable use of descriptor indexing. I use that for Gio.

Yes, I've definitely seen the option, and basically what I'm proposing is to compile k4.comp to produce two different .spv's, one with it on and one with it off. The reason I just disabled it in my local branch is simply don't yet have Rust code yet to supply the image in the non descriptor indexing case. The existence of that define is a large step towards making it more compatible, thanks for it!

any progress on this? the ndk-glue pipe was inspired by the android_native_app_glue distributed with android. the android looper has a blocking api and the pipe can be registered with it. if a channel or atomics where used we'd still have to wake the looper. however it's been a while since I wrote it and my memory is a bit fuzzy.

For reference on the android backend changing, see rust-windowing/winit#2444

And the big pile of discussion in rust-windowing/winit#2293

It looks like 0.28 isn't coming anytime soon, so this is still blocked.

from vello.

note that it's just a change to the example, I haven't tried the rewrite but both 0.27 and git were working just fine with piet-gpu, I can give you a 0.27 example if anybody cares, you can also just pin a git version with the new backend if you don't want to change the boilerplate after a month
