Remarks

A class for describing camera output, which contains a Surface and its specific configuration for creating capture session.

There are several ways to instantiate, modify and use OutputConfigurations. The most common and recommended usage patterns are summarized in the following list:

<ul> <li>Passing a Surface to the constructor and using the OutputConfiguration instance as argument to CameraDevice#createCaptureSessionByOutputConfigurations. This is the most frequent usage and clients should consider it first before other more complicated alternatives. </li>

<li>Passing only a surface source class as an argument to the constructor. This is usually followed by a call to create a capture session (see CameraDevice#createCaptureSessionByOutputConfigurations and a Surface add call #addSurface with a valid Surface. The sequence completes with CameraCaptureSession#finalizeOutputConfigurations. This is the deferred usage case which aims to enhance performance by allowing the resource-intensive capture session create call to execute in parallel with any Surface initialization, such as waiting for a android.view.SurfaceView to be ready as part of the UI initialization.</li>

<li>The third and most complex usage pattern involves surface sharing. Once instantiated an OutputConfiguration can be enabled for surface sharing via #enableSurfaceSharing. This must be done before creating a new capture session and enables calls to CameraCaptureSession#updateOutputConfiguration. An OutputConfiguration with enabled surface sharing can be modified via #addSurface or #removeSurface. The updates to this OutputConfiguration will only come into effect after CameraCaptureSession#updateOutputConfiguration returns without throwing exceptions. Such updates can be done as long as the session is active. Clients should always consider the additional requirements and limitations placed on the output surfaces (for more details see #enableSurfaceSharing, #addSurface, #removeSurface, CameraCaptureSession#updateOutputConfiguration). A trade-off exists between additional complexity and flexibility. If exercised correctly surface sharing can switch between different output surfaces without interrupting any ongoing repeating capture requests. This saves time and can significantly improve the user experience.</li>

<li>Surface sharing can be used in combination with deferred surfaces. The rules from both cases are combined and clients must call #enableSurfaceSharing before creating a capture session. Attach and/or remove output surfaces via #addSurface/#removeSurface and finalize the configuration using CameraCaptureSession#finalizeOutputConfigurations. CameraCaptureSession#updateOutputConfiguration can be called after the configuration finalize method returns without exceptions.</li>

<li>If the camera device supports multi-resolution output streams, CameraCharacteristics#SCALER_MULTI_RESOLUTION_STREAM_CONFIGURATION_MAP will contain the formats and their corresponding stream info. The application can use an OutputConfiguration created with the multi-resolution stream info queried from MultiResolutionStreamConfigurationMap#getOutputInfo and android.hardware.camera2.MultiResolutionImageReader to capture variable size images.

</ul>

As of android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#P Android P, all formats except ImageFormat#JPEG and ImageFormat#RAW_PRIVATE can be used for sharing, subject to device support. On prior API levels, only ImageFormat#PRIVATE format may be used.
