I am using Virtual displays to take screenshots from Android emulators and I noticed that surfaceflinger's memory has infinite growth (this can be seen in top program) and the emulator stops working after some time. On real Android devices everything works fine: the memory increases by 5Mb and then it is cleared. But on emulators such as GenyMotion and LDPlayer surfaceflinger works abnormally. I tried two different approaches of creating VirtualDisplay: through 1)ImageReader or 2)GLES:
- ImageReader
val handlerThread = HandlerThread(
javaClass.simpleName,
Process.THREAD_PRIORITY_BACKGROUND
).apply { start() }
val handler = Handler(handlerThread.looper)
latestBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888)
imageReader = ImageReader.newInstance(width, height, PixelFormat.RGBA_8888, 2)
imageReader?.setOnImageAvailableListener(this, handler)
val projection = mediaProjectionManager.getMediaProjection(resultCode, resultData)
projection!!.createVirtualDisplay(
"shooter",
width,
height,
context.resources.displayMetrics.densityDpi,
DisplayManager.VIRTUAL_DISPLAY_FLAG_AUTO_MIRROR,
imageReader?.surface,
null,
null
)
- GLES
val eglCore = EglCore(null, EglCore.FLAG_TRY_GLES3)
val consumerSurface = eglCore.createOffscreenSurface(width, height)
eglCore.makeCurrent(consumerSurface)
val shader = Texture2dProgram(Texture2dProgram.ProgramType.TEXTURE_EXT)
val screen = FullFrameRect(shader);
val textureId = screen.createTextureObject()
val texture = SurfaceTexture(textureId, false)
texture.setDefaultBufferSize(width, height)
val producerSide = Surface(texture)
val matrix = FloatArray(16)
var closed: Boolean = false
val buf = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(width * height * 4)
buf.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder())
val currentBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888)
texture.setOnFrameAvailableListener(object : SurfaceTexture.OnFrameAvailableListener {
override fun onFrameAvailable(surfaceTexture: SurfaceTexture?) {
Log.d("FRAME", "frame")
// there may still be pending callbacks after shutting down EGL
if (closed) return;
eglCore.makeCurrent(consumerSurface)
texture.updateTexImage()
texture.getTransformMatrix(matrix)
eglCore.makeCurrent(consumerSurface)
// draw the image to framebuffer object
screen.drawFrame(textureId, matrix)
eglCore.swapBuffers(consumerSurface)
buf.rewind()
GLES20.glReadPixels(0, 0, width, height, GLES10.GL_RGBA, GLES20.GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, buf)
buf.rewind()
currentBitmap.copyPixelsFromBuffer(buf)
}
})
val mediaProjectionManager = context.getSystemService(Context.MEDIA_PROJECTION_SERVICE) as MediaProjectionManager
val projection = mediaProjectionManager.getMediaProjection(resultCode, resultData)
projection!!.createVirtualDisplay(
"shooter",
width,
height,
context.resources.displayMetrics.densityDpi,
DisplayManager.VIRTUAL_DISPLAY_FLAG_AUTO_MIRROR,
producerSide,
null,
null
)
There are grafica classes at the 2-nd solution.
In LDPlayer's logcat I can see such messages after screenshooter start in both cases: EGL adreno: eglMakeCurrent: 0xc77d6480: ver 3 1 (tinfo 0xc77cb700)
And there is such Low Memory log after about an hour app work with 1Gb of RAM:

I can take screenshots through file saving but it works awful. Could you please tell how can I make screenshots without memory consumption? My previous question was asked here - I did not know the cause of the problem. Also I asked the question in official Google Android community but I got no answer.
P.S. I found out that Android 10 in Genymotion works fine but I can't upgrade any user friendly emulator up to this version
I encounter same issue on genymotion android 7, surfaceflinger process can eat up to 70% memory. I have to restart machine to release memory.
Finally I switch to genymotion android 10, and this problem never occur.
