no renderscript headers/library in r11

[krishna0808]

Hi,

In ndk r11, i don't see renderscript folder inside <ndk_folder>platforms\android-XXX\arch-arm\usr\include. Same is tryue for renderscript native .so file. This is on windows but i am pretty sure, the files were present with ndk r10.

I can confirm the issue even on linux side. No more RS files anywhere, no include nor RScpp_static.a library. Did this get deprecated?

[stephenhines]

It is not deprecated, but the tools were temporarily removed. They will be added back in a subsequent release.

[cmaster11]

Understood, thank you :) Are there any planned milestone dates/months, for
general info?

So, what we're going to try to do is switch to doing stable "major" releases on a quarterly basis, and do a beta release more frequently than that (monthlyish). Assuming we manage to keep to that, and assuming the RenderScript side of the issue gets fixed soon, we could have a beta out with RenderScript support added back some time in April.

[cmaster11]

Sounds like a good plan :) hope you manage to keep it up, this platform is great!

Internal bug for my reference: http://b/22377128

Noticed that milestone was changed from r12 to r13. Seems we can't expect RS support soon, can we?

[DanAlbert]

I've pinged the internal bug asking for an update but I haven't seen anything yet.

[krishna0808]

I confirm that NDK support for RenderScript is not there in r13. Why is this delayed? Can someone form google provide some rationale about it so that it does not cause surprises later?

Currently, i have to revert to ndk r10e but that means i can not use newer features.

I am also looking forthe RenderScript APIs in NDK. Can you confirm please if it is available for R13 ?

[austingg]

looking forward to RenderScript back to NDK

[DanAlbert]

Sorry, I was hoping to leave an update last week but I was waiting to be sure that the update stuck. Still not certain, but here's the status anyway:

Finally got some traction from the RenderScript folks and we do now have the renderscript tools back in the NDK (in the master branch right now, but assuming everything checks out I'll cherry-pick them for r14-beta2). There hasn't been a full test run since they were put back though, so they still need to be verified before I can say for certain.

[austingg]

@DanAlbert good news!

[krishna0808]

Thanks @DanAlbert for the update.

It is sad that Renderscript will not be part of Beta 1. Can you update if we will get 64 bit Renderscript libraries as part of the update?

[DanAlbert]

Looking at the output (you can see RenderScript in the canary builds), yes. There are arm64 and x86_64 libraries.

[DanAlbert]

In beta 2.

[krishna0808]

Thank you Dan for taking care of this. When can we expect beta 2?

[DanAlbert]

Later this month most likely. I'll update the main wiki page with a schedule as we narrow it down.
