- Currently the lock/unlock path is naive and is done for each drawing operation (glDrawElements and glDrawArrays). this should be improved eventually.
- factor all the lock/unlock code in SurfaceBuffer.
- fixed "showupdate" so it works even when we don't have preserving eglSwapBuffers().
- improved the situation with the dirty-region and fixed a problem that caused GL apps to not update.
- make use of LightRefBase() where needed, instead of duplicating its implementation
- add LightRefBase::getStrongCount()
- renamed EGLNativeWindowSurface.cpp to FramebufferNativeWindow.cpp
- disabled copybits test, since it clashes with the new gralloc api
- Camera/Video will be fixed later when we rework the overlay apis
Add a factory method that creates a Camera object from a remote client
Next:
The changes in authordriver.cpp and android_camera_input.cpp will come.
and the constructor for Camera object will be removed.
The WindowManager side of Surface.java holds a SurfaceControl, while the client-side holds a Surface. When the client is in the system process, Surface.java holds both (which is a problem we'll try to fix later).
SurfaceControl is used for controling the geometry of the surface (for the WM), while Surface is used to access the buffers (for SF's clients).
SurfaceFlingerClient now uses the SurfaceID instead of Surface*.
Currently Surface still has the SurfaceControl API and is implemented by calling into SurfaceControl.
To deal with Java's lack of destructors and delayed garbage collection, we used to duplicate Surface.cpp objects in some case; this caused some issues because Surface is supposed to be reference-counted and unique.
