android overlay(个人总结)

 

overlay 是直接操作显示设备驱动直接绘图的，和sufaceflinger  通过混色后绘制到显示设备上是有区别的,

1.  overlay hal对象的获取     // layerbuffer.cpp

LayerBuffer::OverlaySource::OverlaySource()

----> SurfaceFlinger::getOverlayEngine()

     ---> DisplayHardware::getOverlayEngine()

          ----> DisplayHardware() 构造函数中获取overlay hal层的module并初始化mOverlayEngine(即overlay的device对象，这样之后通过这个对象就可以操作overlay了)

    hw_module_t const* module;
    if (hw_get_module(OVERLAY_HARDWARE_MODULE_ID, &module) == 0) {
        overlay_control_open(module, &mOverlayEngine);
    }

 

2. overlay 的使用例如：   //  layerbuffer.cpp

LayerBuffer::OverlaySource::onVisibilityResolved()

   ----->             if (mOverlay) {
                overlay_control_device_t* overlay_dev = mOverlayDevice;
                overlay_dev->setPosition(overlay_dev, mOverlay, x,y,w,h);
                // we need to combine the layer orientation and the
                // user-requested orientation.
                Transform finalTransform(Transform(mLayer.getOrientation()) *
                        Transform(mOrientation));
                overlay_dev->setParameter(overlay_dev, mOverlay,
                        OVERLAY_TRANSFORM, finalTransform.getOrientation());
                overlay_dev->commit(overlay_dev, mOverlay);
            }
