VkPhysicalDeviceExternalFormatResolveFeaturesANDROID(3)

# VkPhysicalDeviceExternalFormatResolveFeaturesANDROID(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkPhysicalDeviceExternalFormatResolveFeaturesANDROID - Structure describing whether external format resolves are supported

## C Specification

The `VkPhysicalDeviceExternalFormatResolveFeaturesANDROID` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_ANDROID_external_format_resolve
    typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceExternalFormatResolveFeaturesANDROID {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        void*              pNext;
        VkBool32           externalFormatResolve;
    } VkPhysicalDeviceExternalFormatResolveFeaturesANDROID;

## Members

- `sType` is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

- `externalFormatResolve` specifies whether external format resolves are supported.

## Description

If the `VkPhysicalDeviceExternalFormatResolveFeaturesANDROID` structure is included in the `pNext` chain of the VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 structure passed to vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2, it is filled in to indicate whether each corresponding feature is supported. If the application wishes to use a VkDevice with any features described by `VkPhysicalDeviceExternalFormatResolveFeaturesANDROID`, it must add an instance of the structure, with the desired feature members set to VK_TRUE, to the `pNext` chain of VkDeviceCreateInfo when creating the VkDevice.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceExternalFormatResolveFeaturesANDROID-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_EXTERNAL_FORMAT_RESOLVE_FEATURES_ANDROID

Structure Chaining

Extends the structures

  - VkDeviceCreateInfo

  - VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2
