Element Class

Definition

An Element represents one item within an android.renderscript.Allocation.

[Android.Runtime.Register("android/renderscript/Element", DoNotGenerateAcw=true)]
public class Element : Android.Renderscripts.BaseObj
[<Android.Runtime.Register("android/renderscript/Element", DoNotGenerateAcw=true)>]
type Element = class
    inherit BaseObj

Remarks

An Element represents one item within an android.renderscript.Allocation. An Element is roughly equivalent to a C type in a RenderScript kernel. Elements may be basic or complex. Some basic elements are

<ul> <li>A single float value (equivalent to a float in a kernel)</li> <li>A four-element float vector (equivalent to a float4 in a kernel)</li> <li>An unsigned 32-bit integer (equivalent to an unsigned int in a kernel)</li> <li>A single signed 8-bit integer (equivalent to a char in a kernel)</li> </ul>

A complex element is roughly equivalent to a C struct and contains a number of basic or complex Elements. From Java code, a complex element contains a list of sub-elements and names that represents a particular data structure. Structs used in RS scripts are available to Java code by using the ScriptField_structname class that is reflected from a particular script.

Basic Elements are comprised of a android.renderscript.Element.DataType and a android.renderscript.Element.DataKind. The DataType encodes C type information of an Element, while the DataKind encodes how that Element should be interpreted by a android.renderscript.Sampler. Note that android.renderscript.Allocation objects with DataKind android.renderscript.Element.DataKind#USER cannot be used as input for a android.renderscript.Sampler. In general, android.renderscript.Allocation objects that are intended for use with a android.renderscript.Sampler should use bitmap-derived Elements such as android.renderscript.Element#RGBA_8888 or android.renderscript#Element.A_8.
