ro.sf.lcd_density is usually defined in the build.prop file which is parsed by init
before anything else. Since its name begins with "ro.", this property is write-once
and cannot later be modified, e.g. in /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh.
In other words, you cannot use "emulator -prop ro.sf.lcd_density=<value>", since
it is impossible to override the value defined in build.prop
This patch modifies the system to recognize "qemu.sf.lcd_density" as an override
value, which can be set with "emulator -prop qemu.sf.lcd_density=<value>", forcing
a specific density.
A later patch will allow the emulator to automatically set this property depending
on AVD hardware configuration settings.
ANDROID_swap_rectangle allows to specify the rectangle affected by eglSwapBuffers(), anything outside of this rectangle is unchanged. in particular EGL_BUFFER_DESTROYED only applies to that rectangle. This extension as well as EGL_BUFFER_PRESERVED allow major optimizations on surfaceflinger, which can redraw only the dirty area during compositing.
However, ANDROID_swap_rectangle allows further optimizations in EGL by reducing the amount of copy-back needed. ANDROID_swap_rectangle is particularily important for software implementations.
- 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
